1080 Kiss [Paperback]

Angela Steed (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 26, 2007

The "God of Snow" has met his match. He never followed the rules. Vince Evans, professional snowboarder, is a black-haired, green-eyed charmer no woman can tame and no man can match on the slopes. Followed by a flurry of bad publicity and a trail of ex-managers, his Olympic dreams teeter on the brink unless he can orchestrate a career turnaround. And fast. Her rules were unbendable. After a year-long hiatus, public relations extraordinaire Morgan Price is ready to resume her high-profile job resurrecting musicians fallen from grace. A bad-boy athlete is not the type of client she expects-or wants. But then she sees a side of the "God of Snow" no one has seen before, a side she just might break all the rules of business for. Reviews and Other Information: "Angela Steed has crafted a shining gem of a contemporary romance novel with characters so believable they could have stepped off the pages at any moment and joined me for a cup of coffee." Kimberly Adkins Author of THE MEDALLION OF SOLAUS "1080 Kiss is anything but chilly. Morgan and Vince are very realistic characters with problems and pain in their pasts. The story is smooth and refreshing with dialogue that is smart and snappy. The emotions throughout the story are raw and vivid bringing the reader closer to the characters. Ms. Steed's first novel is very well done." Bonnie Petros Coffee Time Romance "I loved this book! I have never read Ms. Angela Steed before, but I will definitely look for her work. This contemporary romance was sensual, but not erotic. It was set in beautiful settings, which were wonderfully pictured for us. And the title-1080 Kiss? I'll let you read the book to see what that is all about!" Brenda Talley The Romance Studio

5.0 out of 5 stars A very entertaining read with lush descriptions, May 22, 2008

This review is from: 1080 Kiss (Paperback)

Length:: 1:17 Mins

1080 Kiss is a very entertaining read involving the romance of Morgan and Vince, both strong-minded individuals who have not previously been happy in love. The two meet when Morgan is hired to manage Vince's snowboarding career. Vince has all the potential in the world as he is very talented, but his unreliable and sometimes troublesome personality has prevented him from rising to the top.

The plot is full of surprises as Vince's rival becomes enamored with Morgan, and even a rock star gets involved as the story unfolds. The romance in 1080 Kiss is one that you root for as you grow fond of both characters. One point that meant a lot to me is the theme supports healthy relationships as opposed to self-deprecating ones.

The writing style is smooth with lots of beautiful descriptions. Having enjoyed snow skiing in the past, I loved reliving the vivid scenery in Steed's story. She is a very talented writer, and I look forward to her future releases.

This review is from: 1080 Kiss (Paperback)

Newly recovered from a broken heart, Morgan Price, the Public Relations dynamo, returns to her New York City office after a year's hiatus, determined to get back down to business. The last thing she needs is to get physically involved with another client, but when sexy pro snowboarder Vince Evans comes sailing into her life it seems inevitable. Against her better judgment Morgan takes him on as a client. As his career begins to take off, so does their tumultuous relationship...

I really enjoyed this book. The author has created a fast-paced and well layered plot peppered with interesting, likeable characters and love scenes to make the heart flutter. Her use of snappy, realistic dialogue and colorful situations make 1080 Kiss a fun and delightful book to read. I'll definitely be looking forward to more works by Ms. Angela Steed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, May 11, 2008

This review is from: 1080 Kiss (Paperback)

A very good friend of mine loaned me this book while I was on vacation and looking for a good read. I usually only read biographies, so I did not think I would like this book so much. I will now read more romance novels because this book was so good. It is fun and light and it will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy after reading it. I will definitely buy the next book from this author!
