He can’t face another loss . . . and she won’t stay.
About One Winter in Blue Sky: Krista, once part of the brutally competitive world of figure skating, now performs on cruise ships, a world away from Blue Sky, one of Canada’s many small prairie towns. There, as maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, she meets best man, Tate—a small-town guy, former hockey player, and widowed single father.
When
she’s offered a temporary position as skating coach for the local club, she
decides to trade the glamorous life of ‘cruising’ for a short-term gig in the middle of nowhere. After all
she’s been through with a manipulative ex-partner and demanding mother, she
needs a fresh start. But soon the demands of the club’s ice show and
it’s equally demanding club president, a newly adopted and pregnant dog, and this
pesky attraction to Tate, send Krista spinning off balance into a massive flip
jump.
No one knows what
will happen by spring…if she lasts that long.
Our Review: For
those of us entranced with ice skating in all its forms, pairs, singles and
dancing, the beauty and grace are what we see on the small and big screens of
TV shows and movies. Not shown is the excruciating hard work, endless hours of
practice, and the ugly underbelly of less than professional judges and coaches.
Author Margot Johnson shows the reader both sides of the sport—and the toll it takes
on skaters and those who care about them. The descriptions jump off the pages
as we watch Krista slowly recover from past abuse and neglect, a women trying
to forge a new, healthier life for herself. And then she meets hunky Tate and
his twin daughters—a sure recipe for happy ever after. Watching both lead
characters change and grow due to the influence of the other is remarkable—and
not to be missed.
Based on a scale
of 1-5, One Winter in Blue Sky merits a 6.
