I loved this book! 
They had the best banter I have ever read about that genuinely made me laugh out loud so often and I loved Ivan as a person as well as Jasmine and her whole family. 

The only two things that didn't make this book perfect were for one the language which was sooo heavy on cuss words that it started to annoy me to read "f**king" in every sentence like three times and for the other I love slow burn romances, I really do. But them kissing only after so many pages? And the end then feeling sooo rushed? I'm crying 

None the less the lead up was great, I didn't get bored for a single moment and I enjoyed the ice skating aspect a lot. I'm really looking forward to read a lot more MZ books!

This book never gets old. Mariana Zapata is the queen of slow burn romance and I eat it up every time.

I loved this story but minus one star for the ending seeming very rushed and the main skating event only getting a page???  AND the author’s confusing refusal to use a character’s name multiple times in a paragraph. It’s so odd. Examples:

“I took a step onto the ice and glided off just a couple feet away to give IVAN room to do the same. He followed after me, stopping just two feet away from me as the announcer called out our names. That was when I looked over my shoulder at THE MAN IN THE BROWN AND GOLD COSTUME that my sister had created, and found him already looking at me, with a smirk aimed right at me.”

““She was pinching me under the table,” BEN let me know, like that would surprise me. It didn’t. That was my mom right there. My defender forever and ever. “Sorry about that, Jas,” MY MOM’S FOURTH HUSBAND murmured.”

““Where’s Ben at, MOM?” “He’s out with his friends,” THE REDHEADED WOMAN WHO HAD GIVEN BIRTH TO ME, explained quickly before raising her gaze and aiming her fork in my direction.”

There were points where it truly confused me because I couldn’t even tell the author was talking about the same character. “The man” is used 30 times in the book and “the woman” 37 times, most often for characters that are already very well established. It’s confusing.
