goodreads...
Liza Petrov’s entire life has been about skating and winning her sport’s
top prize – Olympic gold. She’s stayed sheltered inside her bubble, not daring
to stray from her destined path.
Until she meets Braden Patrick.
He makes her heart flutter with possibility, and for the first time she
gets a taste of a normal teenage life. She longs to have both the boy and the
gold, but stepping outside her bubble comes with a price. As Liza begins to
question both her future and her past, can she stay focused on the present and
realize her ultimate dream?
My take...
Liza is at the height of her game in the
world of figure skating. Boasted to be one of top skaters at the winter
Olympics, if not the top one, she needs to stay focused if she wants to bring
home the gold. But when she meets Braden one afternoon at a baseball game, he
turns her world upside down and inside out. For the first time in forever she
daydreams about a kindhearted college boy and her first kiss. She would love to
be a normal teenage girl and do the things they do. No worries, no practices,
no meddlesome parents. But no worries, means no gold. Liza will have to
sacrifice much to reach her dreams…or will she? Can she let this boy into her
world and still obtain the gold?
Wow!! Such an amazing book. I finished
this a few days ago and I am still…just wow! Every book that I have read from
Comeaux has made me experience all the feels. This one, probably more so. I
once again remembered what it felt like to go on that first date and how it
felt to fall in love for the first time. Comeaux makes her stories come alive
with her words and the emotions that jump right off the pages before you. It
really is a magical moment to read her books. And this one was just so darn
magical. So beautifully told. So absolutely amazing in all its aspects!
I need to gush on Braden for a second. He
is one of those guys that stay with you long after the book is done. In a lot
of ways, he is very similar to Liza’s dad in that regard. Sergei was one of
those that I have never forgotten and I love him still to this day. He oozed
romance!! I can see the same in Braden and would love if he was given more time
in future books. (Hint, cough, wink!)
Sweet romance and a flawless storyline
that kept my attention the entire time…GOLD RUSH is a must read. 5 Beautifully
Written Stars!
