I’m conflicted about my review of this book. While I really appreciated the documentary style approach, I felt that those chapters were the only parts of the story that truly moved the plot forward. That being said, I did enjoy the behind the scenes look at the cutthroat world of ice skating.

Katarina and Heath have shared a deep connection since childhood, competing for the affection of others, which they ultimately find through ice dancing. However, Katarina’s sheer determination and willpower begin to strain the bond she shares with the one person she truly loves and trusts. At times, I felt the story dragged, with a desire to see more from the characters in a quicker timeframe. I did, however, enjoy the evolving dynamics between them and the other ice skaters over time.

I do wish the book had introduced more characters to enrich the love story or delved deeper into the intricacies of the skating world. If you enjoy a romance tested by challenges with a satisfying, happy ending, this book will be a great fit for you.
