In the new Play-by-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Score, opposites attract when a figure skater and hockey player lace up their skates--and go for the gold...
Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is making his second trip to the Winter Games, and he couldn't be happier. Hockey is his life and playing for the U.S. team is a privilege. Then he meets U.S. figure skater Amber Sloane. She's beautiful, ambitious and driven--everything Will desires in a woman. He would love to show Amber how hot life off the ice can be.
Amber has skated her entire life, sacrificing everything in the hopes of one day winning gold. Now she's competing for the third and final time. She intends to win, and nothing's going to get in her way--until she meets Will. He's an irresistible charmer, and before long Amber is wondering if this sexy hockey player is the perfect guy to show her some moves outside the rink.
But after all the medals have been awarded, Will and Amber will have to decide if what they have together is just a fling or a real shot at true love.
Just when I wonder if this series can keep going, Burton changes it up a bit by taking us to the Olympics. I absolutely loved being at the games, and thought Burton did a great job bringing me there. Seriously, I shed a few tears during the medal ceremonies and everything.
I was a solid fan of Will and Amber's romance. Will was actually full of surprises, and I adored the way he treated and listened to Amber. She lived a very insular life, and it was fantastic seeing her take some big steps and make her own decisions, and Will supporting her was a wonderful plus in the whole equation. I liked catching up with Drew, and the update on him and Carolina made me smile. The ending was a little abrupt, but still sweet.
