This book was set in early 1982 before the social media and internet explosion. The plot centers around a young figure skater who has lost his partner (sister) to retirement and an aspiring ballet dancer who is also strong in ice skating due to her parents ( a retired pro hockey player/current coach and a former prima ballerina). Amilya and Tyler have a promising relationship but I found the many points of view in this book to be distracting. It wasn't always clear who was speaking because Amilya's mother also has a voice in this story. I enjoyed this book but didn't find it to be more than acceptable. I did find the ending to be very realistic though.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I absolutely devoured this book. I downloaded it in the evening and found myself looking forward to the book hangover I knew was coming. The minute I picked it up I was hooked. While this was a little different from the author's usual fare, it was just as enjoyable and well written.

Traci Hunter Abramson has a way with words that puts me in the middle of the story. I truly feel like a fly on the wall. Her characters are rich and robust to the point I feel like they could truly be people in my life and find myself missing them. This is a magnificent novel written by a master story teller. It took me away and gave me a lovely escape.

I found the descriptions to be amazing. I could just picture the setting and found myself wishing I was there. The characters had great chemistry and really had each other's backs. There were a couple stories happening that just made it all richer.

When I finished the book at about 1:30 in the morning, I felt myself longing for more. In fact, I can't wait until the next books in this series follow, at least I hope it is a series. I am not quite done with these characters and I would love to spend more time in this world of competitive figure skating.

Pro tip- don't start this in the evening.

I received an e-book through NetGalley and this is my honest review.
