Summary
The Next Competitor: To win gold, figure skater Alex Grady must train harder than the competition. As for a boyfriend, forget it. The Olympics are only every four years—everything else can wait.
So it's ridiculous when Alex finds himself checking out his new training mate Matt Savelli. Calm, collected "Captain Cardboard" is a nice guy, but even if Alex had time to date, Matt's so not his type. Yet beneath Matt's wholesome surface, there's a dirty, sexy man who awakens a desire Alex can't deny . . .
Cold War: American figure skater Dev despises his Russian rival. Arrogant, aloof Mikhail is like a machine on the ice—barely ever making a mistake. He's also sexy as hell, which makes him even more infuriating.
Dev and his pairs partner have been working their whole lives to become Olympic champions. He needs to keep his head in the game.
The very worst thing he could do is have explosive hate sex with Mikhail in the locker room after losing to him yet again before the Olympics.
But you know what would be even worse? Discovering that under Mikhail's icy exterior, he's Misha. His sweet smile makes Dev's heart sing, and his forbidden kisses are unbearably tempting.
Contains mature themes.

If was okay
This book was ok, but I never fully got into either story. The pace dragged a bit, and one of the main characters in the first book was hard to like. I much prefer other books by this author.

Dragged so much, I returned it
I just could not get into the story. It is probably fine if you dote on skaters and the skating world, but there was sooo much about the sport and those involved that I found the book boring in the extreme. I will usually stick with a book in the hope it starts to grab me, but I found this so boring I could not continue.
Perhaps others will have better luck with it.

Cold War is really good
I struggled with the first story, I think because of all of the skating talk. Cold War was everything I wanted, yes there's still skate talk but the growth of relationship between Dev and Mikhail is so beautiful to listen to. plus I do enjoy a Russian accent

DNF’d
I’m shocked to admit I DNF’d this book but I was bored. I have read 13 other books from this author any adored them all. But, I just couldn’t get into this first book. After 3.5 hours, I gave up because I didn’t warm to any characters and it just harped on and on and on about the technical aspects of figure skating with no warmth or romance or anything else mentioned yet.
