Did I enjoy this book? Full disclosure: I read the Ice series before I started this book, so I already knew how this entire series ended. And you know what? IT DIDN’T MATTER! I was still on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what was going to happen with Emily and Sergei. I loved their relationship, I loved the drama, I loved the skating, I loved everything. As with the Ice series, I thought that the characters acted immaturely for their ages. However, I reminded myself that these elite athletes are usually in a self-contained bubble, only interacting with other athletes in the same position. This sort of justifies the immaturity. Overall, this doesn’t bother me enough to take away from the story or the characters. I still loved it!

 

 

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! I think it would be best to read this series before reading the Ice series–so in proper order. However, I read them out of order, and it didn’t take away anything from my enjoyment!

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Nineteen-year-old Emily is new to pairs skating, but she and her partner Chris have a big dream-to be the first American team to win Olympic gold. Their young coach Sergei, who left Russia after a mysterious end to his skating career, believes they can break through and make history.

Emily and Chris are on track to be top contenders at the Winter Games. But when forbidden feelings spark between Emily and Sergei, broken trust and an unexpected enemy threaten to derail Emily’s dreams of gold.
