In Worth More Than Gold, we are introduced to Amy – the clumsy sister and manager of America’s Skating Sweetheart. She loves to work backstage and help her sister with her training. But when an eager friend drags her to a party near the Olympic Village – she caught the attention of a sexy Norwegian ski jumper. With a little booze, inhibitions were dropped, and an amazing night followed. But the next morning, she couldn’t find her Viking.Erik Andersen wasn’t really expecting any medal. He just wants to help the team on their standing. But after one remarkable night, his luck might have changed – during the final training session, he did well enough to have a possible space in the podium.What I like about this story, more than the SUPER HOT SEX is the fact that the responsible sister is going to have her share of fun thanks to the Viking who’s showing her more than just the Olympic village. After what happened to her mother, and the way she has taken care of her sister, she deserves some breath of fresh air.In Trouble With Gold – I laughed out much here. The US Snowboarders are naughty guys who have a lot of pranks in store for several athletes. Ty was given a dose of his own medicine when his teammates shackle him into a fence on a very cold snowy night wearing only his boxers – until Nadia, a volunteer, had saved his balls from literally turning blue.Nadia was a professional – she was focused, and career driven. All she wanted was a job in the Olympics Committee Headquarters, and this volunteer job would help her land it. It didn’t help when she was ordered to babysit the US Snowboarding team.I loved Ty and the rest of the US Snowboarders. They are fun, but when it comes to their sport – they are a serious bunch. I like how patient Ty was in thawing Nadia. He knew he wanted her the first time he saved her. But it would take a whole lot of hard work before he gets the girl.In The Girl Behind the Gold we met Greek aerial skier Lia. She might be good, she might have the biggest chance to win the gold – but she lacks sponsorship. She wasn’t like much by the press because of her no-nonsense attitude. She wasn’t fun, she wasn’t approachable – and that poses a lot of problems especially when her family needed a lot of money to survive.Brandon James’ needed to find a story for his magazine. He was a charmer through and through – which gains him an entrance to an invite-only party. But the story he wanted to do was nowhere to be found until he meets Lia.She needed the sponsorship, he needed a story – both of them strike a deal, until a secret was found. Suddenly, Lia wasn’t so sure about him at all… I love her – she was feisty, and she knows how to get even. But Brandon didn’t falter – he showed her that he really cares for her.In Ice Gold we meet Colton and Brenna whose antics had made me laugh as well. He really knows how to get her attention, and she knows how to get into his nerves as well. He was the next big thing in hockey, and she was assigned to take his photos.But one wrong move from Brenna had almost lost Colton his career. She owes him, too bad Colton wants MORE than just apology. It was a battle of wits for these two people, they are strong-willed and stubborn. Will Brenna be strong enough to fight the temptation off? Or will she give in?I was treated to a great romance anthology this afternoon. Out of the four, I couldn’t pick a favorite. They were all sweet, fast-paced, swoon-worthy, sexy, steamy love stories that will fill your senses with heat despite the cold weather and make you fall in love.It’s different stories with one common denominator – the Olympics. How some athletes find not only luck, nor the coveted medal in their quest for Gold – but they can also find love.★ARC Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.★
