Crossing
the Ice
By
Jennifer Comeaux
Release
date: August 3, 2014
Synopsis
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?
Excerpt
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.
My
Review
This was actually the first book I
have ever read on figure skating. I didn’t really have any expectations as to
how the story was going to unfold but I can honestly say that I was not
disappointed. This author gained another fan overnight!
You have two figure skating pair’s
teams who under normal circumstances compete against each other. They are brought
together under the same coaching team in order to help each pair become better
and go on to compete in the Olympics. What were they thinking?! That was the
first thing I thought of when I read through this part. This seems like a
recipe for disaster and an end to someone’s Olympic dream. Add in this scenario
a blooming love interest, distrust on both sides, and a fierce competitive edge
and you may have a best seller! I was really impressed by the author’s writing
style and how she made you miss the characters once you were finished reading!
Once I finished reading Crossing the
Ice, I went to Amazon and purchased the other books in the series! Edge of the
Past, Fighting for the Edge, Life on the Edge and Reaching the Edge are the
other titles in this series. They are a must read!
