***ARC provided for honest review*** - originally posted at Reading RainblogAll four of these stories were cute, fun, easy reads. They were each a story you could read in one sitting, and then come back to read the next one - unless you're like me and can't leave a book partially read. No wonder I'm up most nights until 2am! Every story was different, but they all had similarities as well. I've read books by Melinda and Kare, but Ana and Aria are new authors to me, and I can't wait to read more from each of them.Trouble With GoldThis short story about Ty and Nadia was a really fun read. Ty is the US troublemaking snowboarder, and Nadia is the uptight, strait-laced Volunteer who is trying to get a full-time position with the Committee. After hearing from a friend that she's no "fun", she hooks up with Ty to prove how fun she really is. Ty was adorable, and so sincere throughout the book - even while blowing up condom balloons! The only problem I had with this one is that it was just too short! I want to know what happens to Ty and Nadia next!Ice GoldI loved Cole! He was such a jerk at the beginning, but he was a really good guy deep down. I loved watching the relationship between he and Brenna developing, and like Trouble with Gold, I hated that it was so short because I just wanted to keep reading! One of my favorite things was that the characters from the other story were brought up in this one as well, tying the two stories together. It also showed how everything was happening at the same time.The Girl Behind The GoldAria did a great job with this story, I loved both Lia and Brandon's characters, and I was rooting for throughout the story. I understood Lia's background and where she was coming from in the story, and I really liked the romance and passion shared between her and Brandon. Like the other two stories, it was way too short! I wish they'd all been full length novels as I would have enjoyed reading more about them.Worth More Than GoldSo, what do I need to do to score a hot, sexy Ski Jumper? Because I'll be honest, I'd be all over Erik! The story was a little short, but I liked reading about Amy and her sister, as well as the progression of her relationship with Erik. The two definitely had some amazing chemistry between them! Like the other three stories, I love how they were all connected. That's not something you find often - even in an Anthology like this. I loved reading about the characters trying to find the Olympic Torch and the superstitions behind it.
