No Fall Zone

by Emily Shacklette

Mabel Quinn and Ryder Finch aren’t rivals—they’re lifelong frenemies, fellow pro snowboarders, and the children of a pair of legendary athletes and best friends. They’ve trained together, traveled together, and annoyed each other for years.

But being in love? Absolutely not… right?

Until one impulsive night in Vegas—and a few too many drinks—ends with an Elvis-officiated wedding neither of them remembers. With the Winter Games weeks away and the media watching their every move, a public fallout could jeopardize both their careers. Their stay “married” until Milan.

Keeping up the act should be easy. Except Ryder’s been head-over-heels for Mabel for years, and Mabel is suddenly seeing Ryder in a way she hasn’t allowed herself to before. Now they’re sharing a home, sharing secrets, and sharing far too many moments that no longer feel like pretend.

If they’re not careful, this fake marriage might turn into something real… and the biggest risk they’ve ever taken on the slopes.

So many emotions... So much pining...
Why am I such a ma$och!$t when it comes to pining? Give me an MMC who is in love with the FMC since forever, and I'm a goner 🥰 And then an accidental marriage in Vegas... 🤩 Love that so much.

Ryder, Ryder, Ryder 😍 I really don't know what to say. He is just perfect. It's not just his secret love for Mabel, but everything he did for her.
But it's not just Ryder who is secretly in love, it's Mable too 🥰
And still both act as if they hate each other 🙈 Especially Mable's bickering 🤣

It's definitely a typical Emily book 😁
But don't ask me what that means 🙈 I just know, if I were to get it without knowing who wrote it, I could name it.
The way the characters act and interact. The way the MMCs protect their significant other. The fact of so many queer characters. The fact of secrets. Just all of that. Oh, and not to forget the dirty talking MMCs 😎

If you like winter sports, especially snowboarding. If you like the Winter Olympics. If you like all the other things I already said, then you need to read this book!
You will laugh. You will swoon. You will get wet eyes 🥹 And of course, you will get warm because of the 🌶️ 😎

One thing just for Emily, because I know she will read this review...
If you ever change the ebook cover, I'll never forgive you!!! The model is just so freaking 🔥 and absolute Ryder 😍
