Review: Exciting & Drama Filled
Rating: 4 out of 5

It seemed rather appropriate to read a book set during the Winter Olympics while the Games actually were on. What I really loved, right from the start, was Dev's internal monologue about coming in second to the Russians, again, and how he wouldn't mind elbowing them off the medal platform. HA! I knew it! I would totally be thinking those exact same things. When you've worked so hard, you want to win, you want to see your country's flag raised, and hear your own national anthem. So, basically, I empathized with Dev immediately and liked him even more for his refreshing honesty.What happens in the dressing room between Dev and Mikhail is hot, hot, hot, but also…whoa? What. The. Hell? Dev was angry about the judges always giving high marks to the Russians even though technically their long program wasn't that good and Mikhail got angry, told Dev he knew nothing, and shoved him against a locker. At which point there was kissing and a whole lot of rutting. Crap. What to do now? It's only a few weeks until the Olympics where Dev and Bailey will once again compete against Mikhail and Kisa for the gold.Dev and Mikhail (Misha) can't stay away from each other at the Olympic Village nor during practice and their hidden lust for each other grows. Dev sees a different man than the cold, impersonal, arrogant Russian skater. Now he sees Misha who is warm, funny, vulnerable, and sexy. But what they're doing is seriously dangerous, both to themselves, their partners, their teammates, and their countries. I see bad mojo coming down the ice. Pun totally intended.This was an exciting, drama filled short story with a lot of heat and ice (yep, pun still intended) that really captured my attention. I love the Olympic Games and have the utmost respect for all the competitors so a love story set around the winter games was simply excellent fun. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and sexy read.NOTE: This book was provided by Loose Id for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
