Cover Reveal: Crossing the Ice by Jennifer Comeaux (spotlight, excerpt, giveaway)
I am pleased to share the cover of Jennifer Comeaux’s upcoming release, Crossing the Ice.
I loved the Edge series, and I can’t wait to read this book.
Crossing the Ice
written by Jennifer Comeaux
The cover is designed by Sarah Schneider, and the models are a Boston-based pair team, Alexandria Shaughnessy and Jimmy Morgan.
release date: August 2014
About the book – from Goodreads: Falling hard never felt so good.
Pair skaters Courtney and Mark have one shot left at their Olympic dream. They vow not to let anything get in their way, especially not Josh and Stephanie, the wealthy and talented brother and sister team.
The heart doesn’t always listen to reason, though…
The more time Courtney spends with sweet, shy Josh, the harder she falls for him. But they are on opposite sides of the competition, and their futures are headed in opposite directions. Will their friendship blossom into more or are their paths too different to cross?
I turned to Josh with my arms folded and my head cocked to the side. “So, you’re an athlete, a dancer and a musician? If you tell me you’re a skilled artist, I’m gonna have to hate you.”
He laughed. “I can barely draw a stick figure.”
“Whew.” I swiped my hand across my forehead.
“Even if I was the next Picasso, though, I wouldn’t have told you.” He paused and held my gaze. “I don’t like the idea of you hating me.”
My stomach fluttered. Josh didn’t often make extended eye contact, but whenever he locked those sinfully blue eyes on mine, I became a mesmerized puddle of swoon.
About the author: Jennifer Comeaux is a tax accountant by day, writer by night. There aren’t any ice rinks near her home in south Louisiana, but she’s a diehard figure skating fan and loves to write stories of romance set in the world of competitive skating. One of her favorite pastimes is traveling to competitions, where she can experience all the glitz and drama that inspire her writing.

I, myself, think that figure skating is a romantic sport anyway! So why not add it to your book? <3 Plus, it isn't something that is a 'norm', & that adds to the 'want' factor, as well!

I’ve never read about it in any book so it’d be interesting to know. The music, the skating, the costumes and the audience might just bring the characters a new good vibe.

I havent really read any books with figure skating in it but I like watching skating and I have seen romantic movies with figure skating and enjoyed them too so I think I would like it

I think I would love it! I can’t remember the name of the movie, but there was one I loved that had a romance involving Figure skaters.

I think figure skating is a great idea for a book!

The Cutting Edge is one of my favorite all-time movies. The sequels are even pretty good. This book seems like it follows the formula of those so I needed no encouragement to add it to my list and am sure I will enjoy it. Thanks for the chance to win!
