These "Love Stories" books are sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. They take about two hours to read, which is perfect for a lazy weekend, and they're nothing too heavy. The plots are usually pretty interesting, and this one is no exception... In fact, it's probably one of the best in the series.

Kai and Kirsten are skaters. Kirsten dreams of the Olympics; Kai is only doing figures to keep himself "in shape" from an "injury" until he can go back to his "real sport," hockey. Kai is obnoxious at first, but (of course) that means that Kirsten will fall in love with him.

The aspect of this book that most grabbed me was the use of first person narrative. Some of the books in the "Love Stories" series are in the third person, which gets to be a bit unbelievable in parts. But this story was told from Kirsten's point of view, in her voice, which made it easier to "get into" and really enjoy, without all of the crappy adult romance "Kirsten felt a rush of warmth in her hand when Kai touched her..." sort of junk. Since the book is labeled for young adults, it's a bit more realistic.

My only problem with the book was the character development of Kirsten's boyfriend, Troy. I just felt like he was more of a "stock" character, and I don't think a girl as smart as Kirsten would go for him and then later go for Kai. Whatever, it's still a good, fun book.

This book seemed like nothing at first, until it got rolling. This is one of my favorite books in the series so far, since I just started reading them. Kirsten Hayes dreams of the Olympics and her solo-skating debut. But all her dreams come crashing down, as her new coach tells her she'll never make it. He decides to pair her and she, reluctantly, agrees. Her new partner, Kai Bergstrom, is anything but good. Sure, he's a "hunk", a great figure-skater, and an ex-hockey champ, but Kai is also arrogant and rude with nothing but regret at being partnered up with Kirsten. And when their coach signs them up for the Sectionals, they really have to practice. One night, as Kai and Kirsten stay late to work on the "death spiral", they share a magical kiss that only confuses and joys them even more. To make it to the Sectionals, they must overcome Kai's choice of quitting, the difficult routine and their new found love. You will love this book! I highly recommend it to all Love Stories readers.

For anyone who thinks that teen love is a joke needs to readthis book. It will keep you on your toes all throughout the story andyou won't be able to put it down. Kristen Hayes is the talentedskater who gets a new coach and then he flushes her olympic dream of her winning the gold down the drain. The only way he said she'll ever make it to the olympics is if she pair skates and who else would be her partner but the obnoxious and big-headed Kai Bergstrom. This book will leave you smiling and happy and then wishing you were an olympic skater with a handsome and mysterious partner too! END

I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!! I am also an ice-skater, so I understood how Kirstin felt about her dreams. It was fate that her old coach dumped her! I really liked the way it ended- I almost cried! A must-read for anyone who likes romance, and a TOTAL must-read for the billions of people who like ice-skating!

With the popularity of ice-skating and romance novels, this book is a treat for fans of both. Every scene with gorgeous ex-hockey star, Kai, is interesting --- from his temperamental tantrums to his mischievous teasing. The reader can't help but hope that Kirsten realizes how irresistible he is..

This book is one of my favorite book... once you get started you won't be able to stop...at least I couldn't. take my word for it and buy it!!!!
