In one season, she’ll either reclaim her dream… or lose herself to the past that shattered it.
Once, Octavia Moreau was destined for Olympic graceful on the ice, fearless under pressure, and seconds away from the future she’d bled for. Until one broken spin destroyed everything.
Her partner’s mistake. Her body in ruins. Her pack’s betrayal.
Blamed for their failure. Replaced by her own best friend. Cast aside by the mother who loved fame more than her daughter. In a single night, Octavia lost her career, her home… and the future she was promised. Five years later, survival is all she has left.
No spotlight. No dreams. No pack.
Until the night she steps onto a public rink during an emergency— and reminds the world how fast she can still fly. Now she’s been offered the Olympia Academy.
The first elite training ground for Olympic-bound Alphas and Omegas. One brutal season. One shot at the Winter Games. One final chance to become the skater she was always meant to be.
There’s just one problem. Her ex-pack is there…and they haven’t forgotten the girl they destroyed. This time, they plan to make sure she never rises again…but Octavia isn’t alone anymore.
Enter the Ironcrest Pack—four relentless Alphas who dominate the Olympic hockey roster and refuse to let her
Kael Soren — the ruthless captain with ice-cold focus and a dangerous protective streak. Maddox Hale — the powerhouse enforcer whose quiet loyalty burns hotter than any rivalry. Renzo Viteri — the golden-smiled playmaker who sees her strength before she does. Luka Petrov — the mysterious new transfer, lethal on the ice and hiding secrets of his own.
Their chemistry? Explosive. Their protection? Absolute. And the way they look at her?
Like she’s the victory they’ve been waiting for.
As rival packs close in, old wounds reopen, and Olympic dreams hang by a thread, Octavia must decide— stay broken by the past…or trust the Alphas ready to fight for her future. Because this season, NO ONE is taking her down.

The author described everything to death. A truly amazing story with charming and engaging Characters, and it was all drowned in flowery prose. RIP lol. You do not need to describe the same thing, or action, or sound,100 times. You should not need 20 consecutive pages to describe how an alpha looks and smells. Especially when you’re just going to describe them again at least 85 more times. It’s truly a shame because it’s very clear to me the author has a very strong grasp on vocabulary and is an amazing writer, but you can ruin a great story when you drown out all the important stuff with gobs of flowery prose. It literally makes you forget what’s actively happening because it goes on for so long. I’ve never skipped over so much text in a book. I almost DNF so many times but the story and characters were so engaging I was determined to finish this book and see how it ended. And while I’m glad I did that because the ending was very sweet, I’m not sure if I would read another book by this author if this is their normal writing style.
I’m a big fan of Omegaverse, so when I seen this title come up I knew I needed to read it. The story line is great; however the monologue was too much. I was skipping half the chapters it took me out of the story wondering when the monologue would finish. I tried and powered through it but couldn’t. Sadly it’s a DNF for me.
I genuinely enjoyed the plot and the writing. I read the entire book without taking a break. I’m usually quick to DNF a story if it starts going in a direction I don’t like, but I happily finished this one. I liked the alphas and the FMC, though I do wish the book had been longer.
One common complaint I’ve seen is that the author goes into too much detail. While I agree to an extent, it didn’t feel like a drawback to me. My main issue is that the “villain” gets very little page time, and the ending feels extremely rushed. one moment there’s heavy detail, and the next, everything wraps up too quickly, like suddenly she’s winning gold.
I also found the relationship development a bit lacking. It starts off strong, but it’s surprising that she doesn’t have any real romantic payoff with the alpha she’s said to have loved from the beginning.
Overall, I did enjoy the book, I just wish it had been split into a duet or extended so we could spend more time on the training, build up the conflict, and see a more satisfying resolution with the villain. The ending felt a bit too easy. That said, if you enjoy books with little to no drama, this one will definitely appeal to you.
So I did not pay attention to the author when i borrowed this title. I was just excited about the blurb for the book because it was just perfect for a reader like me. About 2 chapters in I was like this is very wordy and keeps repeating the same sentences for each character even in the same chapter. This author is a known AI author but keeps churning out more books and I do not accuse anyone of something like this lightly but in her first or second book she released she forgot to take the prompts out. Also the book had the same mistakes of repeating scenes and lack of consistency in the storyline also not following the storyline with having a scene at one time and then the same scene is also 4 days later but says it is 4 hours later a few sentences away. I feel like the author if you can call them that would be better off getting a ghost writer. Or not who knows if they actually exist but I am definitely making sure to check the author on my goodreads from now on because this whole many great reviews for these AI written books are seriously getting out of control.
I really liked the premise and blurb, but man it’s too wordy. If you need four paragraphs to talk about the color, style, and length of someone’s hair, the you e gone too far. No one cares. It’s hair. If you cut out all the unnecessary descriptions and extra king inner monologue, half the book could be deleted. On top of that, I don’t like the FMC. There’s just something missing with her. I do like Luka. I think there’s still one only mentioned in passing, one who we saw for one scene, and Kael who I couldn’t care less about. I’m too bored to keep on reading to meet them.
I really liked Candy. She has something. That the figure skater girl is missing, but I won’t be around to read her 800 page book of wordy prose.
The author should edit herself and then an editor should come through and edit what’s left. Sometimes I wonder if the authors (not just this one) do these super long writing to make more money since they get paid per page read on KU. Well I hope you enjoy the pennies you earned on the 240 pages I suffered through.
This book so far has been a journey of emotions starting off with seeing tragedy strike and a woman who is trying to rebuild herself alone. There's also funny banter and a whole love of groveling to do. Octavia has fought so hard to get where she is and her story was heartbreaking with a triumphant satisfaction in the end that you can’t help but cheer her on.
I wanted so much to love this…and I did. I loved the premise, loved the characters and the journey. What I didn’t enjoy was the writing style. It was repetitive and wordy. At first I thought the descriptive passages were going to help me connect to the story more, to feel the pain and growth. Unfortunately every page droned on with over the top descriptions that I skimmed through most of it to try to find the ‘meat’ of the scene. The editing also lacked cohesiveness. The story was written to be in the first person of each character’s pov. Yet, there were parts that switched into 3rd person…and times when it seems the author forgot a character revealed they knew something yet later was surprised by the same facts as if they never knew it before. The story is there if you can wade through the muck to grab onto it. Disappointed.
This book had the potential to be amazing the bones of a great story were definitely there. At first, I really enjoyed the descriptive writing, but as the book went on, it became way over the top and started to take away from the story. By the end, the repetition made it feel redundant, and I found myself just wanting to finish it. The storyline also felt a bit disorganized at times some parts seemed out of order, then were repeated later where they probably should have been the first time. It just made the overall flow feel off. I really wanted to love this one, but the constant over-description and pacing issues made it hard to stay engaged. It had all the makings of something great it just fell short for me.
The editing needs alot of work though. I found myself rereading the exact same lines written just slightly different, like this wasn't a final draft. I found so many contradictions as well. In the final chapter Kael knew she'd read the letters before he finds her in the office then he kisses her and she says thanks for the letters and he's surprised? I think this could have been a great book but it was lacking because someone forgot to proofread before this went to print. Additionally the over the top descriptions were too much, they felt like incomplete thoughts the author was writing and would come back to and clean up later
This was my first book by this author, and while I could see the potential, it unfortunately didn’t fully deliver for me. It was an okay read, but it had the potential to be so much more.
The internal monologue felt overly long at times, which seemed to take focus away from the plot. As a result, parts of the story felt underdeveloped. I also struggled with the character dynamics—some members of the harem were given significantly more attention, while others didn’t have the chance to fully stand out or develop.
Overall, the foundation of the story was strong, but it didn’t quite reach the level it could have.
Such a good bio, Octavia was an omega betrayed by her partner and pack and spent years trying to re-exist as a competitor, finally making it to the Olympia academy she thought she was on her way to make gold toll her partner flakes off and instead a pack, with two exs help her out. As surprised as she is finding out the two she tight had left he knew each other intimately was both shocking and a turn on, this new pack that helped her go for gold was turning out to be perfect for her
Came across this story in my Kindle recommendations. It sounded interesting so I decided to give it a read. The plot and storyline is pretty interesting, but the story could’ve been so much shorter. The inner dialog for the characters just rambled on. It took the FMC four pages to describe the smell of one of the MMC’s. FOUR PAGES!! There was a lot of that and honestly, once I recognized the beginning of a ramble, I skimmed over it until I came back to the actual story. I spent a lot of time skimming ahead, y’all.
As an OV fan, I really was looking forward to reading this based on the premise. Unfortunately, the repetitive, choppy, and overly descriptive writing style was a big agitator while reading. I essentially skimmed through quite a few times due to how often the author repeated the same phrases. The second half was better but the ending was a little too good even when you want a happy ending. Would not read again. Will not be reading the next one. Added to all of that, if you are looking for high spice level, this is not the book for you.
The plot concept was amazing! However there were so many instances where it felt like the inner monologue was dragging and the descriptions became long winded and repetitive. Very little spice. And no knotting? The 6 week gap from formulating a plan to the Olympic Games and then to the games and competitions felt like we missed so much pack dynamic building opportunities that left 2 of the male love interests in the background in the end as filler characters.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was good. I loved how she never gave up and how she made them work for her.
The friendship between the girls is a life goal. Cheering each other on, always being there for one another. The only thing I didn't enjoy that made this book a little hard to get through was how long each chapter was. It felt like there was just filler in each chapter and sometimes, it was just too much.
But the story was good and putting a shine on the olympics was different.
DNF this dragged on to the point where it read like if it were an assigned essay that needed a specific word count and was being filled with an insane amount of inner monologues and excruciatingly over detailed descriptions on people and the technical process of ice skating. I was skipping paragraphs, skimming chapters and just couldn’t keep going. Bummer because the plot was really interesting.
I honestly wanted to throw this book out the window after what happens to Olivia in the beginning! She is a rock star though and she shows just how strong of an omega she really is. I do think this was a bit repetitive and could have been shorter (although I love long books). The characters and plot were well thought out.
I could not get past the over the top rambling. Its just to much with the technical language on skating and way more than necessary. I couldn't get past chapter 3 and I skipped a lot of pages just to make it that far. I love the story idea but way to much gets in the way of the story it's self.
I’m always excited to discover new OV reads and the description for this one sounded good. Overall I skipped the majority of the repetitive inner monologues to finish the book. The story had potential but it isn’t one of my favorites.
This is an AI book written by an AI “person”. If you look up an author photo, you can see that it isn’t a human. One of the books even has the AI response in it because whoever is inputting them forgot to edit it out.
700 something pages of description. Time skips that could've shown us the relationships growing between everyone but were left out while adding what the MMC's smell like 20 times. Everything felt surface level while the writing felt like word vomit. It was pretentious and performative.
Why so much dialogue and explaining what things smell like and look like. I was skipping through pages because it was just describing things. DNF for me.
