Shot on Gold: 14 (A Play-by-Play Novel)

Me encanta como entrelaza los personajes de todos los libros, cada libro es un romance muy diferente. Espero que llegue pronto el prpximo.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was one of my favorites from the Play by Play series. It was spicy, entertaining, and a real page turner. I wanted to keep reading to see how Will and Amber's story played out.A true introvert and an extrovert get together and they compliment each other greatly. They are super supportive of each other in regards to each others sports that they play, Will a professional hockey player, and Amber a professional figure skater. They hit it off right away but will outside forces and insecurities be their downfall?Romance, love, and a happily ever after with a few bumps in the road, very much a great read!

Shot on Gold by Jaci Burton was the fourteenth book in the Play-by-Play series.USA Olympians Will “Mad Dog” Madigan (hockey) and Amber Sloan (figure skating) met in Vancouver as they were seeking the coveted Gold medal in their sport. They were both competitive, dedicated, hard working, committed and understood each other’s drive. I enjoyed reading this story as we are currently experiencing a Winter Olympics in real life.Not only did Burton highlight the meeting and relationship development between Amber and Will, but she had multiple secondary storylines running simultaneously. For example, we experienced Amber’s reluctance to avoid seclusion as she prepared for her events. She had always been taught to avoid making friends and to stay focused by not forming any bonds while competing. Burton also demonstrated Amber’s struggles with a controlling mother - one who made many sacrifices throughout the years and couldn’t quite give it up the control. We were also blessed with details for pursuing Gold within both hockey and figure skating. It’s never an easy road and it was an enjoyable read to get the various challenges and ranges of emotion involved during each stage of the respective Olympic event.Lastly, Burton had a great supporting cast through the involvement of other athletes. I enjoyed the camaraderie and appreciated that it wasn’t hateful drama, but was a healthy competitive streak amongst friends.All in all, it was enjoyable and entertaining. I’m not sure where book fifteen will take us, but I’m a fan of the series and can’t wait to see where Burton leads us next.

Amber Sloane is a figure skater who has led a very sheltered life. Her mother is her manager and very strict. She makes sure that Amber has all her focus on her skating. This year she is going to the Winter Olympics. It is her third time and being twenty-four she knows this is her last chance to win gold. Each time she has been to the Olympics before she kept to herself, didn't socialize and made no friends. She is determined that this time will be different.Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is at the Winter Olympics to play for the U.S. hockey team. He's been here before and hopes to go home with a gold medal this time. When he and Amber meet he is mesmerized by her. She is so different from the many other girls he has gone out with. She is beautiful, smart and funny and he is extremely attracted to her. Amber feels the connection too but feels that compared to Will she is very naive.This is a wonderful hockey romance . From the first page you are drawn in. I loved every minute of it and was sorry to see it end. Try it, you'll like it!

I love sports romances! I’ve read all of the books in this series and liked them, even loved some. This book was pretty tame. The premise was mildly intriguing - Olympic figure skater and hockey player fall in love at the games. The heroine, Amber, was mildly compelling - pretty and talented but naive for her age. The hero, Will, was more compelling - handsome, talented, famous, rich, sweet, and sexy. The writing style and storyline were so matter-of-fact that they didn’t leave much room for chemistry or sizzle. Overall, a pretty good book that never quite captured my fancy.
