Knockout Girl #4
Outside Edge
Forgiveness is only a step away.
After his breakup with Elli, Adrian takes a downwards turn and trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol doesn't help him. In fact, all it gives him is two DUIs, which in turn rids him of his scholarship and his spot on his hockey team.
When he gets sent to live with his Pops way up north in Christmastown, he takes his resentment to the next level. Nothing could ever make him want to change. Until he meets Brooke and the kids she’s training.
Once on track for a top competitive figure skating position, Brooke has lost her way. Now she's being forced to help a bunch of kids put on a Christmas pageant. And even worse—she has to teach an errant hockey player how to ice dance.
Finding common ground between them isn’t nearly as difficult as a triple axel. But can the rink also help them to repair the damage of their past mistakes? Will Adrian and Brooke learn to find strength in each other's arms?

Emotional and dramatic—but rightly so—this story will tug at the heartstrings and give you all the feelings. If you’ve been keeping up with the Knockout Girl series, you’ll know one of the protagonists and some of his jaded past. If you haven’t, meet Adrian and Brooke in this double dose redemption story. This novel had a lot of moments that made me either cringe or disagree, but that’s what makes a good coming of age story! It also has plenty of sweet moments, and an endearing Christmas theme to top it off. Definitely worth the read.

Better and better...
Each book in this series just seems to get better and better. The characters in all her books are so well crafted. And the plots makes sense, too.
In this book, I loved that both hero and heroine had some major issues to work through. The way they do that, the way they grow from the beginning to the end is simply arresting. I re-read this and still love it just as much as I did the first time. If you're looking for a book that's clean and refreshing, one that tackles some touchy topics in a very good way, then I highly recommend it. It's great for upper middle grades on up, in my opinion. Please do give it a try!
