Cute and fluffy story about a reporter who's assigned to write a report about winter sports. As part of the assignment, he has to partake in the sports, which leads to humorous and somewhat painful situations. Fear not, the hunky curling team member is there to soothe his wounds. I picked this up...
I think this was one of the Dreamspinner Press Twitter freebies and I picked it to read because the Olympics are going on and this book features Curling which is perhaps the most ridiculous Olympic event. I was sort of hoping that this book would give me a bit of insight into the sport, but it didn'...
3.5Crash course in winter Olympic sports. I enjoyed the fast pace of this one as Cody rushes from one venue to the next participating and writing about Olympic hopefuls from an insider's perspective. The attraction between Shane, a curler, and Cody is fast but that works with the pacing of the story...

3.75*The first 1/2 or so is all about poor Cody.Being a reporter is one thing, but having to actually DO all the winter sports with these Olympic hopefuls, when you are, lets say less than a stellar athlete is hilarious. Unless of course you are Cody, then it's just painful, embarrassing and cold. :...
Very cute and funny novella. I love Cody's humor and all his disastrous attempts at sports. The romance was sweet. One of my favorites in this anthology.
4 StarsI admit to knowing nothing about curling before or after reading this story. Sounds complicated. It covers quite a few winter sports briefly and without weighing you down with details. I did however enjoy this story. It was quite funny with enjoyable characters. I enjoyed the anticipation of ...
