Review
Collide was one of my favorite sports romances last year so to say I was excited to read this book is an understatement. But Spiral turned out to be a huge disappointment. Really not the same vibe. The author didn’t do a good job at writing their relationship progress. They jump from one point to another without any explanation which made the relationship feel pretty disconnected all the way through. The characters were also so flat! I can’t believe this was the same author that wrote Collide! 😕
“It’s never going to be just a kiss for me. Once I do this, Sage, I won’t be able to stop.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Off the Ice Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.

He’s on edge while she’s en pointe in this fake-dating sports romance from the author of the smash hit Collide.
Elias Westbrook, a newly drafted hockey player for the Toronto Thunder, is facing the challenges of fame and media scrutiny. With a growing fan base and too many expectations on his shoulders, he’s struggling to make his first career goal. The tabloids are reporting on his every move, including which woman he was last seen with, but all he wants to do is escape the spotlight.
Enter from stage left Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina with dreams of joining the Aurora Ballet Theatre, but her lack of popularity online leaves her at a major disadvantage for securing the lead role. When Sage finds herself with the perfect opportunity to make her dreams come true by fake dating Elias, she takes her shot.
Soon enough, the flimsy fake-dating rules they set in place fall away in the face of their sizzling connection. But before things spiral out of control, Sage and Elias will have to decide if they’re willing to take the leap together or if they’ll call it quits.
