Ms. Cross grabbed my attention with the book blurb only! A hot Hollywood heartthrob and a past Olympics ice-skating hopeful? Love the idea of hooking these two together.I won’t lie, though. After the first chapter, my first thought was “Wow … do we want to like this?” I promise you will! Don’t let it stop you. Through these tough chapters, we learn so much about the characters, which is one of Ms. Cross’s distinct writing talents – shaping her characters and making the reader truly know them, inside and out.When you keep reading, you’ll see that the heartthrob, Shane, and the ice-skating princess, Amy, use each other for good, in so many ways, and I enjoyed it! The way Shane changed throughout the romance, when I initially thought he wouldn’t, tugged at my heartstrings, especially since it was his love for Amy that pushed him through his demons.What I loved most about this story was the fact that Ms. Cross touched issues that you never see in romance. It was an unpredictable story and there were times where I thought how can this end happily? Ms. Cross does a nice job using the trials and tribulations of the characters to make them perfect for one another. In the end, I was rooting for them, knowing they needed to be together to get past the horrors in their lives. When two characters need each other -- that’s the best type of romance; true love!Another fantastic read by Rachel Cross. She’s quickly becoming a favorite author!
