An enjoyable emerging adult romance featuring an enemies to lovers trope. This figure skater and hockey player come together in a blaze of glory that will burn them up or meld them together. Anastasia and Nate are fun and the sex scenes are steamy. These are two pretty darn mature for their age. It was both nice and slightly disconcerting how Anastasia navigated some of the relationship pitfalls and serious conversations. As a veteran a noted veteran of therapy, not completely unbelievable, but things got heavy at times. I appreciated the mix friendship and romance between the leads and side characters. The hockey team ensemble was quite fun. Ran a little long for me, but overall a fun read.
I ADORE THIS! New favorite? YES!
Love the spice and the sort of enemies/friends to lovers. Absolutely obsessed and will be reading more.
I loved the friends and friendships formed, the eating disorder was handled impeccably well, and I couldn't wait to pick this up each time I sat down!
I liked the idea of this book and was excited to read it, but it did not meet my expectations. The writing style felt very forced: the way these college students spoke sometimes felt unrealistic. There were grammar errors that bothered me, but it was difficult for me to connect to Hannah or Nate. The first chapters did not make me feel empathetic for their problems or situations. It was a DNF at 38%.
First, understand that I am a huge fan of The Cutting Edge, and have seen and enjoyed the film many times.
This book reminds me of that.
It definitely reads like a great movie!
These characters are delightful. And the plot is excellent. This book demands a film version of its own.
Please do me the favor of reading this book!
This book was a pleasant surprise. Normally, romance books are one and done; they last 200 pages and it's over in a flash. Grace puts together a novel that had substance, the characters were relatable and messy. They had problems, like Nate's chronic debilitating migraines or Anastasia's anxiety or eating disorder. They struggled with the ups and downs of relationships, both romantic and friendly. And while I may not be athletic and ice is definitely not my friend, I could identify with them and that is what makes or breaks these books.
I read this book in one sitting. I was fully expecting it to be something I would read a couple chapters and put down, but I was fully sucked in. Hannah Grace is definitely an author I will keep an eye out for and read again.
all the stars. This book is so damn good. It was laugh out loud funny, really steamy, full of wholesome moments, and the BEST sports romance I've read to date. This one is for the people who are sick of reading about toxic, one-sided, miscommunicative, and dull couples. The main couple is spicy, but has admirable communication, so refreshing! The side characters were so loveable and written so well, they didn't feel like last minute add ons only to complement the main characters. I can't wait for the sequel, and to see who it's about. Hannah Grace, please give me a book in another 'puckbunnies' POV!!
This is seriously one of my favorite romance novels I've ever read. Nate and Stassie are absolutely perfect and I loved this story whole-heartedly. Hannah Grace put so much into this book and it shows how much she loves these characters and their story. Can't wait to read more from her!!!!
