I read this in preparation for the YA sequel that’s coming out this month. I’ve had it for a few years now but was resistant because I’m not a fan of skiing or snow or sports so…but I finally gave in. And I am happy to report I was pleasantly surprised.

The chemistry was great and it’s just a really nice read. The reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the romance happens way to quickly for me. It’s such a short amount of time and I just didn’t see how they could develop such overwhelming feelings that fast. Also, this is only told from Aspen’s pov and I wasn’t 100% sold on Cate…

Still loved this and would recommend this to anyone who hasn’t yet read it :)

E. J. Noyes always delivers, and Gold was no exception! I knew from the very beginning that this was going to be a favourite of mine and I was not wrong.

The amount of love I have for Aspen and Cate is astronomical. I want to reread this book and experience their love for the first time all over again. From the love to the complexity of the relationship, I was so immersed and invested I was sad when it was over.

I wish the end had been a little longer and that we’d gotten a little bit more of them—all three of them—but it was lovely nonetheless.

5 stars | shit I love this book. EJ Noyes is queen. It’s funny what the brain remembers. I remembered that Aspen’s home was big with wood beams, but not that she’s a recovering pain med addict

I appreciate that there’s more to this story than just self growth/reflection and mending of hearts. I also love that the passionate scenes aren’t just the same fluff and that it’s explored a little throughout the store and not just once’s before dating and once after the end.
