On Thin Ice
Nancy Bay has spent her entire life chasing perfection.
An international figure skating champion, she knows how to win—on the ice, in the rankings, and in the public eye. What she doesn’t know how to do is lose… especially to Tamsin Keir.
Tamsin is everything Nancy hates—and everything she can’t stop watching. Brilliant. Arrogant. Unstoppable. Their rivalry ignites arenas, dominates headlines, and spills into viral Twitter wars that fans can’t get enough of. Every competition is a battle. Every glance is a challenge.
When a new rule forces them into an impossible duet, the line between rivalry and obsession begins to blur. Training turns volatile. Banter turns personal. And beneath the insults, something dangerous starts to surface—something neither of them trained for.
As the road to the Olympics looms, Nancy and Tamsin must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for gold… and whether winning is worth losing the one person who truly understands them.
Because on thin ice, one wrong move can change everything.
A rivals-to-lovers sapphic sports romance filled with ambition, obsession, and slow-burn tension.

I’m really sad to say that this book did not work for me. When I first saw it available on KU, I was excited because it sounded like a quick, fun, sapphic rivals to lovers story and it checked off spots on several of my book challenge bingo cards this month. Also, supporting indie authors is always a win!
But sadly, the writing was unimaginative and bland, there was no personality or life written into the characters, and for a short story it was extremely repetitive. The author overused social media to set the tension and rivalry between Nancy and Tamsin and by the end I was getting extraordinarily sick of seeing hashtags.
The idea behind this story was sound - rival figure skaters sounds like a winning combination. It could have worked, if the characters were given more life and the writing was edited. It felt like the author was relying on the rivalry between the two women to build sexual tension without actually building on touches and glances. Outside of some social media based flirting, there really wasn’t a lot done to build a believable connection.

2.5, close to 2 because I really, really disliked the intimate scene and found some of the scenes repetitive, in fact a couple of times I wondered if I had accidentally back paged rather than forward paged my book. Close to 3 because it had potential. I liked the story line although some of the timings seemed odd and time spacing seemed odd. I also didn’t particularly get the Scotland representation…… especially at Olympics.
