Like most things in life, skating is far easier when you’re a man because nobody is picking you up and launching you across the room twice a day.

I thought I’d give my long novels a miss for a bit and picked up a book that featured some college romance and some adventures on the ice rink.

“Can she not just be very talented? And not be sucking someone’s dick?”

I got about 15 pages in when I saw the line above and I had to stop and look again on the cover. What the hell was I reading?

I normally go in “blind” when it comes to new books and don’t normally google the author or the series, in hopes I will find a hidden gem where other people had struggled.

The blurb

A TikTok sensation! Sparks fly when a competitive figure skater and hockey team captain are forced to share a rink.

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team.

Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins.

Nate’s focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team—including Anastasia, who clearly can’t stand him.

But when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot.

Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn’t worried…because she could never like a hockey player, right?

So we have a young love – a couple just finding out who they are and at the same time hooking up and practicing for their routine on the ice rink.

“You can’t show me anything I haven’t already seen. You’ve used my face as a seat, Anastasia. I’m a big fan of your work—arguably your biggest fan.”

There is a lot of sex.

The second his mouth is on me I’m climbing, back arching from the bed, grinding into his face. Desperate, needy cries that he doesn’t seem to give a shit about ring out as he takes his time, sucking my throbbing clit into his mouth. I can’t take it. The pleasure rolls through me; a pleased grumble vibrates in his throat as his tongue pierces me, sending me tumbling over the edge, crying his name.

I had to skip through a few of the pages as the writing was really bad and I don’t think I’ll be picking anything up from this TikTok sensation and going back to my slow reads.
