RS Grey is no stranger to providing us with engaging sports romance for us to enjoy as we highly anticipate yet another major sports world milestone. This time, Grey delivers the angst filled forbidden romance between a coach and gymnast as we count down the days to the summer Olympics in Rio.
Brie is an elite gymnast with the world at her feet. However, the burden she feels to succeed might just take her under. It doesnt help that she has a new Olympic coach that is attractive and young. Ya’ll that’s all you get about these characters. I won’t ruin it. They, however, were written perfectly. I could envison and feel her determination to have success. However, the pressure she had to be the darling of the Olympics, was SOOOO well written, I seriously had to stop a couple of times and just take a deep breath for her.
Erik………..man! This man! I could so feel his grit to be more than his legacy. It was too much. his back story was compelling and full of the feels. I enjoyed reading the dichotomy of their different pressures, and how Brie was excelling where he had withdrawn. However, he was the right person to draw it out of her, because he DID know.
UGH! Both of them together!!! They were fire and ice. The push pull of their chemistry is definatly what kept me invested. Their chemistry was off the charts and I think this might be RS Grey’s best work, when it comes to their sexual tension. It was so well written, so raw and real. I don’t know. I felt it. I LOVED their back and forth. His arrogance, he stubborness and desire to just rile him.
I enjoyed the story and the fact that the Olympics is just around the corner helped with my enthusiasm in wanting to see how it all played out. I loved that there was a little interaction from the previous stories. I LOVE when authors throw that in there. However, this story just lacked something that I loved from the previous 2 stories. I dont know, if it’s the fact that the quirckiness that has always entertained me when reading this series was just not there. Soooooo, I wish I could have had that well mingled with the sexual angst found in this story, because it would have been a 6 star for sure.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, it was super cute and I do love the author. It was def a cutesie romance for sure.
