Kirsten Hayes won't let anything get in the way of her Olympic dreams...not even her gorgeous new ice-skating partner, Kai Bergstrom. Intense and arrogant, Kai is just a loud-mouthed hockey hunk to Kirsten. But on the ice, everything is different. When Kai lifts Kirsten in his powerful arms, she instantly melts in his embrace. Maybe she was wrong about the guy. Maybe Kai will skate his way through into her heart...

Janet Quin-Harkin is a pseudonym of Rhys Bowen

Rhys turned to writing children’s books under her married name, Janet Quin-Harkin. Her first picture book was an immediate success and won several awards. More picture books followed, then her agent asked her to write a book for young adults. This was a turning point in Rhys’s career. Her first young adult novel was an instant hit. By her third she was selling half a million copies. Many more popular YA novels followed until Rhys decided she had said all she wanted to say about teenage love and angst, and she turned her real love—mysteries.

Холодная, зимняя и одновременно с этим - волшебная и романтическая книга. Если вы любите кататься на коньках, ну и конечно же верите в маленькое волшебство, то эта книга именно для вас, и для тех кто обожает романтические и одновременно наивные книги.

Книгу я прочитала за один вечер. Когда прочитала первую главу сказала себе: "Ещё одну,а всё остальное на недельку растяну" и так я говорила себе после каждой главы. И не заметила как быстро я её прочитала... Книгу которую хотела читать целую неделю - прочитала за один вечер.

Книге я поставила 4/5 ну наверное из-за того что я никогда прежде не каталась на коньках, как сама так и с кем-то.

Удачного чтения!

I searched for this book only on a whim and voila! I remember it being a super cute pride and prejudice vibe story (far before i had read pride and prejudice). Adding it to my “read” collection as a nod to my much younger dreamy-eyed time. Finish date is best guess 😊

Before my friend Vittorio showed me old clips of Torvill and Dean dancing, and before I fell in love with Sale and Pelletier, there was this book. I read it again today just because. It doesn't hold the same magic it has back when I was in the sixth grade. And I could care less about the language/writing.

Proper review coming soon!

This book is slated for a re-read as part of Shelf Love, my way of going back to my old shelf and re-reading books that I haven't done a proper review yet.

Thank you!

High-brow writing this is not, but definitely not a big deal with recreation reading as a teenager. A teen-recreation of the Cutting Edge. Not a problem for me since I loved the movie - great read!

Cute story. Will particularly appeal to younger audiences.
