At the last Snow and Ice Games, Jubilee Buford and her husband and partner Stephen Wallace were on top of the pairs figure skating world. The newlyweds won gold and their future looked bright. But just months after she thought her world couldn’t get any more perfect, Jubilee lost everything. After a scrapped attempt at a solo career, her coach found her a new partner and new possibilities in Beckett Hughes.
Beckett’s had a hard time finding a partner to compete with. Someone who’s as aggressive as he is, someone who’s given up as much of their life as he has for success. He finally found a fit with Jubilee two years ago. She’s not much fun to skate with, but Beckett doesn’t need fun; he needs precision and effort and there Jubilee delivers.
When a housing mix-up in the Snow and Ice village forces them to room with each other, they’re suddenly compelled to recognize each other’s human side. And as Jubilee and Beckett start to see each other as people instead of robots on skates, they discover that they’ve got chemistry between the sheets as well as on the ice. But the flames between them in the bedroom might melt any chance they have at medaling, and that outcome is not acceptable to either one, or the country that’s counting on them to bring home the gold and the glory.

What I thought about On the Brink of Passion
Jubilee is at the latest Snow & Ice Games looking for another gold medal in pairs figure skating with her partner Beck. When a snafu has Jubilee and Beck rooming together everything is about to change between them.
Beck doesn't care that he's rooming with his platonic skating partner -- he's at the games to have some fun in addition to winning a gold medal and he's a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. He's ready to experience the games in all their condom-loving glory, if you know what I mean.He's worried he won't be able to bring his conquests back to their suite until Jubilee gives him an alternative plan -- which is for Beck to contain his extracurricular activities to sleeping with her.
These two are a quite the team as they go from being super uncomfortable during sex to something ever so sweet, but it all goes up in smoke when Jubilee can't seem to get over the fact that she's lost one spouse and skating partner and she can't go through that again. Ever.
I really loved the evolution of the relationship between Beck and Jubilee. From colleagues on the ice to being much more than that, their relationship grows between the agonies they both have experienced in their past. I really felt for Jubilee's grief and how closed off she was. Beck knows he's going to have to work hard to get Jubilie to take a chance on love again.
This is such a sweet story of a widow finding love again and a determined man who didn't give up, even when he had good reason to. Once these two find their groove with each other, the heat level is on high -- I really did love the way their sex life went from almost disastrous and very uncomfortable to something meaningful by the end of the book.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. Tamsen Parker saved the best for last with On the Brink of Passion.
