Spiraling is not your typical romance story; which is why I liked it and I am coming to love Rachel Cross's books. Cross is not afraid to give her characters flaws that not only are outside the box, but that make them real.This is Shane and Amy's story (we have been introduced to Shane in Cross's previous books, but this is a completely stand alone book.) On the outside Amy looked like she had it all, and then gave up her Olympic dreams and now skates as a princess in an ice show. Shane was part of a boy band and now successfully acts, but his career as been stalled by one sex scandal after another. He needs to learn how to skate to land the role that will reboot his career. Amy is hired to teach Shane. While they each have their ulterior motives for why they should appear to be together but their chemistry is very real.I don't like to do spoilers, so I will just say that the story is not sweet, but edgy, gritty and deals with addictions. It is done with accuracy and in a way that makes you understand the characters and where they have come from, where they are at, and where they are going.If you are looking for a story that is a little different; I highly recommend Spiraling.
