Review: Wonderful little read, has a bit of everything in it, and really sells its story

I really liked this!  It was perfect timing, just watching the team figure skating for the past four days, and then reading this.  But even without that this was a great read.  It had everything in it: sport, angst, passion, fear of discovery, injury, great supporting characters, different locations, technical aspects of figure skating, and more.  It showed a glimpse of the raw passion and love Dev has for his sport, and shows his transition at the end of his amateur career.  It also shows his bond with Bailey, his skating partner and best friend.  I love the enemies to friends angle, and in this book it wasn't instantaneous love either (which I feel is a bit of a cop-out), but rather it was a surprise to Dev after knowing Misha for years as a frigid enemy, for austere, up-on-a-podium Mikhail to become open, sweet, multi-layered Misha, with this whole other, beautiful side to him...and then them getting swept up in passion together.  It was beautifully executed and written, a quick read that was easy to go through in one sitting.  I definitely recommend it.
