Finding Her Edge

De: Jennifer Iacopelli

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya

*SOON TO BE A NETFLIX SERIES*

A swoony romantic novel following an elite ice dancer caught in a love triangle with her old partner and her new one.

Adriana Russo is figure skating royalty.

With gold-medalist parents and her older sister headed to the Olympics, all she wants is to live up to the family name and stand atop the ice dance podium at the Junior World Championships. But fame doesn’t always mean fortune, and their legendary skating rink is struggling under the weight of her dad’s lavish lifestyle. The only thing keeping it afloat is a deal to host the rest of the Junior Worlds team before they leave for France.

That means training on the same ice as her first crush, Freddie, the partner she left when her growth spurt outpaced his. For the past two years, he’s barely acknowledged her existence, and she can’t even blame him for it.

When the family’s finances take another unexpected hit, losing the rink seems inevitable until her partner, Brayden, suggests they let the world believe what many have suspected: that their intense chemistry isn’t contained to the ice. Fans and sponsors alike take the bait, but keeping up the charade is harder than she ever imagined. And training alongside Freddie makes it worse, especially when pretending with Brayden starts to feel very real.

As the biggest competition of her life draws closer and her family’s legacy hangs in the balance, Adriana is caught between her past and present, between the golden future she’s worked so hard for, and the one she gave up long ago.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An engaging read for sports fans and romance lovers alike." —Kirkus Reviews

"Finding Her Edge shines from the high-stakes backdrop of professional ice dancing. With thrilling athleticism, compelling family dynamics, beautifully drawn friendships, and a relationship . . . or two to root for, this story set on the ice is sure to ignite dreams and warm hearts.” —Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

"Finding Her Edge captures the magic of a second-chance romance and tosses it into the pressure-cooker of world-class ice skating along with an irresistible combination of fake dating, family drama, and a shot at winning a life-changing gold. There is no one better than Jennifer Iacopelli when it comes to providing a realistic glimpse into the lives of elite athletes while crafting a romance chock full of heartbreak and hard work." —Sarah Henning, author of Throw Like A Girl and It's All In How You Fall

Great blend sports/romance

I’m fairly new to romance books, and the sports were the hook for me here. But this was really
Good. Narrator was amazing with the foreign languages.
The only thing I didn’t like were some continuity issues with time. The writer sometimes writes “two years” as a short period of time, and other times they say “YEARS” like it’s maybe 4-5 years. It makes a big difference in the story. Then there’s continuity on an injury. At first, it’s minor; then when it’s brought back up by the author, it’s a major injury. Very small, but it took me out of it briefly each time. I’d still read it again though, even if I knew of those things. It left me wanting more!
