Summary:
Rising figure skating star Lily has just one goal: to win the gold medal at the World Championships. When she meets her new partner, she’s over the moon.
Her lifelong role model is Orion Williams.
The man she finds herself despising from the moment they meet…
A cursed champion, Orion only dreams of one thing: quitting figure skating.
When his coach imposes one last partner on him, he fears she’ll end up like all the others, injured or worse.
His biggest fan is her: Lily Pham.
The woman he’ll be cohabiting with for the next four months.
Despite their stormy beginnings, it’s in tragedy that Lily and Orion come together, hoping to win first place.
But at what price…
My opinion:
The second volume of these Seasons is totally different from the first. This one is softer, more intense and more moving. Perfect for winter, you might say!
I don’t know anything about figure skating, so I’m clearly unable to tell you if this novel is realistic or not, but I liked finding this sport in a book. It’s a change from the usual new romances.
However, I didn’t like it as much as the first one.
Admittedly, it’s very moving. All the problems Orion has to face, his fears and the accidents that happen during their skating sessions make us care about Orion and Lily. But I find the story a little lacking in surprises and plot twists.
In summary:
This is a good book to read in winter under a thick blanket, if you want to read a basic love story.
NOTE: 6/10
