Spiral by Bal Khabra
5.0

FIVE STARS!

Dare I say it was better than collide? And I absolutely LOVED collide!

Tropes:
Fake dating
Slow burn
Found family
Hockey x ballerina romance

This story follows Sage who is a ballerina who is try to land any ballet job but mostly a lead role. And Eli who is a professional hockey player who is trying to get his first NHL goal and trying to stop the media from labeling him as a play boy.

Sage blew me away with how resilient and funny she was. I loved how she was very blunt and unfiltered. I laughed so many times throughout the book with the things that she said. She is probably my favorite fmc I’ve read in a romance book.

Eli had me fall head over heels from the very beginning. He was very thoughtful and caring no matter the situation and paid attention to the little things.

I never skip an epilogue and this one was so heart warming and I loved then story coming to an end the way that it did. Made me tear up a bit with Nina!

Overall it was an amazing story with great character development and banter and spice.
