Skating the Line

“This is a FANTASTIC sports romance. The characters are well written, the plot makes sense, it’s funny and clever with incredible metaphors.” “An actual sports romance—done well—is so rare to find, and this one is executed to perfection. I don’t know a thing about figure skating, but the story makes it accessible and engaging without being dumbed down. Not to mention I saw myself reflected in so many moments that it became an almost overwhelming experience.” Clarity Jansky has been ice dancing the past 17 years, and she has the perfect plan to finally reach the Olympic trials… until her partner falls and lands on the other side of a season-ending injury. With only seventy-two hours until team edits close, she’s forced to turn to the last person she ever wanted to skate with again: Jason Forbes. Her brother’s best friend. Her first love, and the first heart she had to break. After a reckless mistake ends Jason’s hockey career, everything gets stripped away; his team, his future, and his father’s approval. When the opportunity arises to return to the ice with Clarity, he agrees in hopes of reclaiming a piece of himself. Even if it means digging up the heartbreak he was planning on keeping buried forever. They only have months to rebuild trust and prove everyone who’s watching wrong: she can win with an inexperienced partner, and he’s worthy of putting skates back on. Although the closer they get to the podium, the harder it becomes to keep their past behind them and their growing connection off the ice. But skating the line between ambition and emotion might cost them more than their lost shot at redemption. It might cost them each other. View Less
