There aren’t a lot of romances set in those worlds (and, tbh, the women that compete in gymnastics are so young that I really don’t want to see any), so when Elyse found Pairing Off (and Sarah found another skating romance by the same author), I jumped on it.Īnd possibly swung my ereader around in a circle like this:Īnton is a Russian pairs skater who’s been competing with the same partner most of his life. On off years I only care about gymnastics and figure skating ( TOE PICK). (Also I would LOVE to know how Irina Slutskaya and Surya Bonaly would do under the modern scoring system.) (ALSO ALSO the Tara Lipinski/Johnny Weir commentariot duo on NBC is amazing.)ĭuring the Olympics, I care about most of the sports in existence. (If you don’t think I didn’t punch the air at Javier Fernandez SHUTTING SHIT DOWN or cry at my girl Ashley Wagner GETTING SHIT DONE you are wrong because I did both of those thing.)

If you follow me on Twitter, at the end of March/beginning of April you may have seen me live tweeting some of the World Figure Skating Championships. This review was originally published May 4, 2016.

That’s right, welcome to the world of figure skating romance! It’s also great for fans of the movie, The Cutting Edge.

NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! Since the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics are kicking off today, we want to revisit one our favorite winter sports-themed romances. Theme: Fish Out of Water, One Night Stand, Sports
