Crossing the Ice

By: Jennifer Comeaux

Narrated by: Emily Stokes

Pair skaters Courtney and Mark have one shot left at their Olympic dream. They vow not to let anything get in their way, especially not Josh and Stephanie, the wealthy and talented brother and sister team.

The heart doesn't always listen to reason, though.

The more time Courtney spends with sweet, shy Josh, the harder she falls for him. But they are on opposite sides of the competition, and their futures are headed in opposite directions. Will their friendship blossom into more or are their paths too different to cross?

one of my favorites

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a sweet love story.

Sweet and charming romance!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would! If you're a fan of sweet romance and ice skating, like I am, this was a quick and enjoyable read. Courtney was real and likable. Josh was adorably sweet and shy.

What did you like best about this story?

As much as I enjoyed the competition aspect of this book – and the lessons learned along to the way – I'd be lying if I didn't say the romance was my favorite thing about this book. I adored Courtney and Josh separately, and liked them twice as much together. What developed between them was natural and believable. It wasn't hurried. It was also pretty tame by most new adult standards, which is a nice change every now and then.

Which character – as performed by Emily Stokes – was your favorite?

I think Emily did the best job voicing Courtney. She sounded just as I pictured Courtney. Her pacing was great and she wasn't overly-dramatic. I didn't love all the voices she provided, but I was totally sold on Courtney.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book served up lots of smiles and a couple laughs. I got a little teary-eyed at the end, but I'm a sap like that.

Super sweet

A super sweet story about young love and going after your dreams. Sometimes love gets in the way, sometimes it guides your way.

Sweet Contemporary Love Story - Perfect for Teens

What made the experience of listening to Crossing the Ice the most enjoyable?

The story brought me back to my teen years and the phenomenon that was Ice Castles. This contemporary view of the competitive world of ice skating. All the tantalizing components are there: evil villain, spunky heroine, shy creative boy etc. This series is an excellent addition to YA genre.

Have you listened to any of Emily Stokes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Emily Stokes does an excellent job with the various characters from toddlers to Russian coaches. The pacing was perfect adding to the build of the plot. I would like to another of her performances.

Any additional comments?

This book is PG rated. No hot, steamy love scenes so be confident in gifting to younger readers.
