Review: New Adult storyline with snowboarders
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 4, 2014
This is the story of Z and Ophelia. Z is an extremely talented snowboarder with a bad past and a death wish basically, on a completely self-destructive path in a variety of ways. Ophelia is recovering from her own bad past experiences when she meets Z. She knows he is going to be bad for her, just as he knows he is not right for her. But that doesn't matter as they are drawn together.As their relationship develops and they start to share pasts, Z comes to his turning point in his own life, not for himself but for her."It's obvious she has ridiculously [bad world deleted] taste in guys -- present company totally included -- so it's not like I can turn her loose on the world and hope she ends up okay. Because she obviously won't. Which means I'm going to have to do something more. I'm going to have to be something better."But that is, of course, not the end. He still has some things to confront, and so does she.The sport of this one is different (snowboarding) though the basic tenet of new adult (damaged, damaged, and more freaking damaged) is the usual. And that is okay, because the writing is good, the side characters are fun. That gives it the 4 stars. There is a cliffhanger too in a way, but for the next book and the next character set ... no spoilers though, and this couple gets their HEA. Great story, and I am now on the look out for the next book, which just about says it all ...I received an ARC of this one via Netgalley for an honest review.
