I have been waiting for this book since I finished reading Collide back in April!

Khabra has done it again ya’ll! I still love Aiden the most, but Elias is right there with him at the top of the hockey boyfriend list! He’s sweet, thoughtful, caring, considerate, and sexy as heck! And Sage, she was my spirit animal with her hilariously inappropriate sense of humor!

I have to admit I did not expect the whole Elias celibacy thing and as much as I wish they had done it from day one, the slow burn was pretty epic!! Sage riding his thigh was so funny and totally relatable :P Their “Elias and Sage unfiltered" promise was everything!

“Because I know that no matter where I am, I’ll always be home as long as I have her.”

The ending had me in tears. I loved that everyone got a HEA and now I’ll be impatiently hoping and waiting for Kian and Dylan’s books!

I am a sucker for the cutesy romance and Bal Khabra has out done herself! I was over moon being approved for this and it did not disappoint.

Bal Khabra certainly knows how to write a cute romance with swoony male leads. Spiral is book 2 of the off the ice series that follows the story of eli and sage. Another bang on hit by Khabra after the bestseller- Collide.

Big thank you to NetGalley & Berkley Publishing Group for providing me an arc to read in exchange for my honest review.

I gotta admit I was nervous about starting Spiral by Bal Khabra. Mainly because I read Collide, the first book in this romcom series earlier this year. And after finishing Collide I had some mixed feelings. Like I enjoyed the characters and the overall story arc but felt some parts slow, boring and overhyped. Even with all that said I still wanted to give Spiral a shot because I really enjoyed the introduction we had to Elias in book one.

And let me tell you Elias storyline did not disappoint. I started this book last night right and I wanted to devour it in one sitting. However, I had to unfortunately be an adult and wake up and go to work. But once work was done I could not be stopped. Elias and Sage story was truly relatable and heartwarming. Honestly I’m not ready to let them go. PS Bal may we have more extended epilogues please ;)

I don’t want to go too much more in depth because I want to stay away from spoilers. So I’ll leave you guys with this. Please buy this book when it releases in January 2025. You will not be disappointed!

Sweet, warm, and heart-warming. Everything I want in a hockey romance! I liked this one more than Collide which surprised me! Excited for the rest of the series and more from Bal!

I’ve been so excited for this one because of the cover and after reading Collide! Elias & Sage are so mom & dad coded and this story was sooo freaking cute. All the small moments like the wrist kisses. the TATTOO, the cooking and the drive-in movie, ugh I’ve been SWOONING. Don’t get me started on that epilogue it had all the feels. I loved that this one let us follow Eli on his journey and meet sage who i think is my fave fmc. I don’t laugh while reading books but this one had me laughing out loud more than once. Y’all the SMUT lol Bal knows what she’s doing. I enjoyed every second and overall its a sweet comfort read that i devoured in 2 days.

The way their pretend relationship evolves into something real and deeply emotional is beautifully done. With its perfect mix of romance, tension, and heartfelt moments, this book is a delightful rollercoaster that I couldn’t put down. I was captivated by every page and loved every moment of their incredible journey. It’s sweet, fun and entertaining.
