Courtney and Mark have their last chance to get to the Olympics. That is until their coaches invite their competition to train with them. Stephanie and Josh are brother and sister pairs skaters who are fierce competitors.

Courtney and Josh try hard to get along. Their partners are not willing, looking at the others as competition and the enemy. Courtney has always secretly been attracted to Josh and cannot help herself.

Josh starts to be her friend. Then they work together at the restaurant where she tends bar. Hard to fight the attraction, and now spending so much time together, makes it that much harder.

Mark is not happy when he finds out what has been going on. Is the dream still alive? Mark does not seem to understand where she is coming from. What can she do to prove she wants to win?

This is such a sweet story. What amazed me was the authors knowledge and use of the figure skating industry and practices. I found this to be entertaining, as well as full of interesting insights. I love the banter and these characters literally swept me up until I was thinking OTP! Great start to the Ice series!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
