Ryan Talonovich is the star of his college hockey team ... until an accident during practice leaves him confined to a wheelchair. The doctors say he'll walk again but a new season is already underway and he's been replaced on the team, which leaves him feeling alone and betrayed. What's the use of fighting to get back on the ice now? Then he meets Dante Espinosa, a short track skater on the city's speed skating club. Though he has to work overtime to afford his sport, Dante is hell on ice, and dreams of making the cut on the U.S. Olympic Speedskating Team. Their love of the ice brings them together, but too many obstacles stand in their way: Ryan's struggle with therapy. The memory of Dante's first boyfriend. Lack of funding to the event, Dante's harassing boss, a skating friend in love with him, and Wil Dietrich, who will do anything to win.

They end up being just what each other needs at just the right time. They really are too cute together and sometimes...

Probably one of the longest novels in this genre (it's more than 500+ pages) but I found myself enjoying the story. It is very detailed -- I can actually see the speedskating competition in my head. The story also covers both Ryan and Dante's point of view. How they deal with their life: Ryan with t...
