Blurb:
Olympic rings and an engagement ring.
Courtney Carlton is ready for both.
She and her boyfriend Josh have skated together and dated for four years, and they’ve reached a critical point in their partnership both on and off the ice. With the Winter Games coming up and their career nearing an end, they are fighting to win a spot on the Olympic team, something Courtney has dreamed of since she was ten years old. She also has another wish she hopes comes true soon. She’s waiting for a marriage proposal from Josh that she expected to happen by now. Will she realize either dream or will her heart be broken from disappointment?

Cindy's Review:
Taking the Ice leads us to the conclusion of Courtney and Josh. This is the dream come true. Some say it's an ending. Some say it's the beginning of something new. I say it's a wonderful way to wrap up Courtney and Josh's relationship.
It's time Courtney achieved her long-time goals and this time SHE IS GOING TO DO IT. No on can stop her. No bustling future mother-in-law that's trying to get in her face. No plotting rivalry's crudeness will get to her. Not even her own complicated mindset and mistakes. Courtney will get into the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and nothing can stop her. The only thing out of her control is that she can't really get Josh to propose to her sooner.
Taking the Ice is a short, yet satisfying closure to Courtney and Josh. There isn't really a huge plot, but the question mark to whether Courtney gets a happy ending or not. And the answer is obvious. Not getting a happy ending means this isn't the last book of the series. And I'm pretty sure I just said this is. Oops, not trying to spoil anything. Yes, there isn't much plot, but the emotions you feel when you live through the end with Courtney is rewarding. That's the point of Taking the Ice. It's not about knowing how it ends. It's about feeling how it ends.
Thanks for participating!
