Life on the Edge follows the
lives and tours of the many skaters who dream of one day of bringing home the Gold
Medal in the Olympics. Nineteen year old Emily has always skated alone and now
she has to learn to skate with a partner. With Chris as her partner, they dream
big and with Sergei a Russian coach , they are sure to win big in the Olympics.
As a former champion Sergei is hiding something. Why did he suddenly leave his
career and come to the United States to teach skating? One of the no-no’s in
any sporting event is for coaches and students to have any interaction with
each other except for their training sessions. As sparks begin to fly between
Sergei and Emily, they know full well that they cannot be seen together or have
any romance between them. As they continue on being discreet will this affect
Emily’s skating performance? As things seem to heat up more between them,
trouble lurks just around the corner. Can she confide in her parents that she
is seeing Sergei? What about the Russian skaters, do they realize what is going
on? How long can she keep this from her partner Chris? But most of all will there
be a future for Emily and Sergei together both in the skating and romance
department?
This was a very interesting novel
and for anyone that follows the world of Ice Skating knows just how strenuous
training can be to reach perfection. I
feel the author did a great job of describing the twists and turns that goes
along with a performance. If you are looking for a good contemporary romance to
read then I would recommend “Life on the Edge” I feel like you will enjoy it
very much.
