16yo Olivia has Olympic ice-skating dreams, but right now, after a disaster at her last doubles performance, she is stuck going to regular school and working at her parents’ ice rink instead in Arizona. Then comes Jonah Choi – hottie, for sure, but also a prospective Olympic speed skater, using up a lot of rink time. Olivia doesn’t want to give up her Olympic dreams, but she would need to reinvent herself and save her parents’ failing ice rink from a hostile takeover – and falling in love with Jason Choi is not part of the plan. 

Super cute romance read with enough depth and multi-dimensional side characters to add flavor without distracting. Great in paperback.
