Book Review: Quite the Pair

 



She’s the feisty figure skater he can’t resist. He’s the rugged former hockey player who gets under her skin. Together, they’re quite the pair.

Isla Covington is ready for a comeback. Losing both her pairs skating partner and her marriage last year crushed her, but she’s never surrendered to a challenge. She’s determined to prove everyone wrong about her reputation as a difficult ice queen and climb her way back to the top of the podium.

Wes Davidson is a notorious grump, but he’ll sacrifice anything for the people he loves. After the devastation of his divorce five years ago, Wes prefers his single life, running his business, playing hockey with his friends, and holding his family together.

Until Isla enters his life and partners with his figure skater brother.

Now, she’s sitting across from Wes at family dinners, skating in his rink, and invading his simple life. He hates that he can’t get enough of her. Isla won’t allow her intense attraction to the unfairly hot man to distract from her goal, but Wes’s smoldering glares and quiet strength test her discipline.

It isn’t long before their bickering turns to flirty banter, affection, and an irresistible heat that burns every time they’re together. When cracks begin to form in the walls they’ve built to protect themselves, Wes and Isla face the hardest decision of their lives: to open their hearts to love or continue to run from it.

QUITE THE PAIR is a spicy figure skating romance from the Breaking Barrier series, featuring grumpy x grumpy, forced proximity, dislike to love, and he falls first and harder tropes.


My Review

Isla needs a new skating partner. It just so happens that Spencer is in need of a new skating partner as well. His last partner retired. Spencer's brother, Wes was Isla's first kiss when they were younger. Isla and Wes's first meeting after all these years does not go off smoothly. In fact, they end in a fender bender and Wes ends up being known as "parking lot terrorist" in Isla's phone. Yet these two go from frenemies to lovers. 

Wes may have seem like a grump in the beginning, but when it really counted, he had a heart of gold. He was so protective and caring towards Isla. You could tell that there was something there between Wes and Isla. These two share tons of spice!

This book is witty, steamy, emotional, and all-around great read. It scores a perfect ten and gets the gold medal.
