Review:Seduction on the Slopes (Snow & Ice Games #2) by Tamsen Parker


Miles Palmer has dominated the downhill slalom in every Snow and Ice Games he’s competed in. Double gold, double gold, double gold, and he’s confident he can round out his career and his trophy case with two more medals in his last appearance at the games. The only thing that could stop him? Crash Delaney.

Crash is a young upstart who came out of nowhere and shocked the downhill world with his swagger and untraditional style. As a kid, Crash didn’t have the resources to learn how to race properly, but he begged, borrowed, and stole equipment, and went to any competition he could thumb a ride to. Now the only thing between him and his dreams coming true is his childhood hero, the man whose posters have graced his walls since before he’d ridden in his first chairlift.

Miles and Crash are technically teammates, but you wouldn’t know it from the way they fight. The veteran and the nobody have both got big things riding on this race, and neither can afford any distractions. Especially not each other.

What I thought about Seduction on the Slopes

Miles Palmer is a seasoned Olympic athlete probably looking at his final Snow and Ice Games. He covets that final gold medal too.  As a senior member of the team, he's also tasked with mentoring the younger athletes, in particular Crash Delaney.

Crash Delaney is the rising star on the team. At 21 years old, he is brash and cocky and likely to deal with his nerves with recreational marijuana.  He's not too thrilled about all the press they are obligated to at the games, and he has a serious case of stage fright that has him literally vomiting on stage. (yuk)
Miles steps in to help with Crash's nerves and there's only one thing that seems to help and it brings them close enough for them to develop an attraction for each other. Miles has been a bit of a idol to Crash and Crash has Miles secretly pining for him, even though Miles knows it would be wrong to take their activities to the next level.  Of course, that doesn't work, and things heat up nicely between these two.

This is an opposites attract story – as these two guys couldn’t be any more different, but it's those relationships that often work the best!  I loved these two together!  They complement each other well and there's some definite heat here.  The age and socialization differences between them made for some conflict and made their story interesting.

I love this series.  As a sports fan and with the Olympics starting in a few weeks, these stories are a great warm up for the real Olympic games!
