Beth Sabatino
Take the Ice, Ch. 1-7

I am a big hockey fan, so when I heard there was a new Hockeyward in town, I jumped right on it. What I didn't expect, but was pleasantly surprised to find, was a new favorite Bella.

Why I love this Bella is that her world has been completely swept out from under her, as a pro-figure skater whose knee has been wrecked, but she is not crying into her Cheerios. She is taking stock, and re-establishing goals. As an Olympic medalled skater, she has spent her whole life having everything done for her while she trains. Faced with this adverse situation, she has decided to strike out on her own, find some independence, and seek the assistance of a renown doctor to see if she can ever get back to where she was.

I have loved watching her as she goes from wallowing to finding her routine again, but most of all, seeing a 24 year old who has friends for the first time in her life. To have people who love and care for her, just for her, and not for who she is. Also, to be on the cusp of love for the first time.

Edward, a pro hockey player, is patient and kind. He is encouraging and supportive, but at the same time, isn't going to let Bella wallow either.

But the best part of this story so far, is chapter 6. Bella has rented a rink, and is anxious about actually doing some real skating since the accident. Turns out Edward has found her there. She does a sexy skate inspired by Edward, and soon he joins her, and one of the sexiest moments with clothes on happens on that ice. LOVED it.

Looking forward to a LOT more from this story.
