Spiralling

by Cici Williams

Can she keep her head in the game, or will she fall for him?

Maya is trying not to spin out. Since she gave up on her childhood dreams of figure skating, she is now the successful PR behind this year’s skating champions and she really needs to dazzle everyone for their performance at the Winter Gala.

But the job heats up when Maya finds herself stuck sharing a fancy suite with Gabriel, the way-too-organised and way-too-handsome Sports Commentator she has a huge crush on. But she knows he is looking for love – and Maya only does one-night-stands.

Gabriel is on thin ice. He’s trying to stay in of his words when he’s on camera, and his feelings for Maya, the emotionally unavailable woman he's still secretly yearning for. Now he can’t avoid spending time with her in an incredibly romantic Alpine hotel, and he's dangerously close to falling for her.

When Maya finds herself pulled back on to the ice — and closer to Gabriel — will they give in to their desires? Or will their chance at happiness slip out of their reach?

*[Three Chillis!]* LOTS of spice on the ice!

* Forced proximity!

* He falls first and harder!

* Only One Bed!

* Steamy couple’s massage!

First, I wanna start by saying I love this cover. I think it’s beautiful, it’s cute, and it makes Gabe and Maya look so good!

I enjoyed seeing the many challenges they faced and I thought Maya and Gabe’s relationship was sweet and it did have good emotional depth but I wished to see a little bit more

Every book I’ve read lately has a MMC who’s a yeaner and this book is no exception. I love Gabe because obviously he yearns for her but he also happens to fall for her first and harder!

Lastly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of Spiralling ⛸️💜

Maya gave up her dream of figure skating when she had a bad fall. Now, she's a PR consultant and building a reputation for herself. When she is hired to work on a big charity skating event, she's thrilled. Unfortunately, her boss at the last minute decides that she can't stay at their rented house and Maya needs to get a hotel room. But with Aspen being packed due to the gala, there are few rooms available. When she gets to the hotel, she finds that Gabe also thinks he reserved the room. So they end up sharing the honeymoon suite. The problem is that they had an intense attraction when they were both working on the Olympics, but it didn't go anywhere. He wanted a relationship and she wanted freedom. Forced proximity and boding over the trauma of forced life changes bring them close, but can they make it work this time? A cute, if predictable romance. Love that both of them are going through thing and they listen and help each other rather than this causing the conflict.

Netgalley provided me with a arc in return for an honest review.
