Gabriel and Isabelle have a hot and tainted history.  There were too may factors that interfered where they did not belong.  Now, trapped together in Russia, they get another chance to clear the air. Isabelle AKA "Belle" has had too many hard knocks in recent years to believe that Gabe would want to get back together.  Then the chance arises to find out just what really broke them up last time.  After finding out the truth, can they both learn to forgive? This was such a fast paced, but really hot story.  I loved the characters right from the start.  They seem like they are better together than apart.  This was a great intro to the Snow-Crossed Lovers series.   I am very excited now for the next installment!  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

Attraction

Image
Tracey & Dak literally run into one another.  She is starting over, since her chance at happiness was ruined at the last school she attended.  This time, she plans to keep to herself and study. Dak is immediately attracted to Tracey.  They have a lot in common.  The both love to skate, hate to be considered anything but the best, and both want to be the boss. This story starts your heart pumping right from the very first chapter.  The characters have excellent banter, heat, and ton of competition thrown in.  I loved how fun and easy this story was to read.  I never wanted to put it down.  I simply cannot wait for the next book in the On The Edge series.   I give this one a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

Braden & Liza meet at the concession stand over her siblings.  The attraction is instant and mutual.  Only this is going to be the busiest year of her life.  Who has time for love? Liza has never had a date, a kiss, a boyfriend.  Rights of passage have been sacrificed for Olympic Gold.  Is it worth it?  Maybe this year she can find out how to make them both work out. An amazing story with feels and emotions.  I love, love, loved the skating and technical parts.  This is one author I can count on to make it real.  Did I mention there are feels?  This book has everything for everyone, and a little bit more.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.
