I really enjoyed the push/pull between Blaze and Maisy and particularly liked their very grown-up conversation at the end, but I am not really reading much erotica these days. I probably wouldn't have borrowed it if I had realized it was a novella (and would have missed out on some very sexy f/f which I have def not read enough of) but I really wanted more story and less sexyfuntimes. If you like erotica, I would recommend. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Welcome to the Snow and Ice Games where competition is not the only thing that is heating up! The fourth book in bestselling Tamsen Parker's romance series continues with two female skaters from opposite sides of the rink. Blaze Bellamy is the bad girl of the short track speed skating world. Looking like a roller derby bruiser when she's not in her Team USA uniform, she's an unlikely American heroine. She's got a punk attitude to match her provocative dress and her dyed hair, and she's determined to get onto the front pages of the papers regardless of how she has to do it. Maisy Harper is the workhorse of the Canadian women's figure skating team. Serious, modest, and above all, polite, Maisy would prefer to win her victory on the ice rather than in the press, and is exasperated by Blaze's antics. When she's not lusting after her anyway. After they both failed to make the medal podium at the last Snow and Ice Games, they drowned themselves in gin?and each other. Despite their hookup being drunken, they both harbor fond memories of their night together and are keen for a repeat. But they've got different ways of going about getting what they want, and Blaze's willingness to go to any lengths for the spotlight could ruin any chance she has with Maisy.

Maisy is a figure skater and Blaze is a speed skater. The two get hot and heavy early on in this book and already have a relationship of sorts going on. It's a nice change from strangers or friends to lovers, to be honest. But if you were thinking these would be soft, vanilla sex scenes - you'd be wrong! Tamsen is shockingly amazing at writing these scenes that they will make you blush (so maybe don't read them in public...?). I think this has to be the "hottest" book of the series so far, so be warned!
The "parents don't like that I'm gay" was something new from Tamsen, but I think it worked well. There needed to be some conflict in this book, and it fit perfectly! I didn't totally enjoy the opposites attract portion of this book, but it fits well enough within this story.
These characters do grow within this story, and I have give me praise to Tamsen for doing such. Having characters that try to change and grow was a lovely addition to tie this book in together. It really shows how much Tamsen is growing as an author - she keeps implementing new and better plot points in her books. Personally, I didn't like the personalities of the main characters (it's a personal problem, to be honest. They remind me of people I know, and you know how that is...). I think in relation to the story, they have the best personality for the scenario, but it just didn't bode with me. It's nothing against this story (because it's a great story, honestly, READ IT).
If anything, I would have liked a little more plot in this story. I found this to be a really heavy romance compared to a plot focused one. This can be great for some readers, but for others it might not work. Keep that in mind if you're going to read it - don't expect a crazy, complicated plot.
This might be my least favourite SIG novel (but they are all fighting for top spot, so it's a tight race for first place) if I had to place them in a list. It's still a fantastic book, I just liked the others more (I related more to the characters from the other books on a personal level).
Overall, I would definitely recommend this story to anyone looking for romance, F/F, or sports romance books. It's still top tier! Comparing them to Tamsen's other books (based on my own personal opinion) it's one of the best, just not MY favourite. It's definitely one of her best.
Four out of five stars.
Side Note: Who would have thought Olympics erotica would be a category of books? It's probably one of the few I never considered until Tamsen actually wrote these books.
