Review: Thrown for a Loop

Thrown for a Loop Thrown for a Loop by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

Ten years ago Zoe Carson was an Olympic hopeful figure skater and Chase Merritt was an ice hockey hopeful picking up some extra cash as the boys' dorm leader at skating summer camp. They met, they fell in love, they sneaked around, the got caught. Things went badly wrong and they've never spoken since.

Now newly divorced Olympic silver medalist Zoe has accepted a part-time job coaching the New York Legends ice hockey team. Its the only job she has managed to secure and she desperately needs it to become permanent to be able to actually afford to live and work in NYC, too bad if the boy who broke her heart a decade ago is one of their star players.

Its an uphill battle trying to coax NHL players to listen to a diminutive figure skater, even if she can help them improve speed and accuracy, especially when someone clearly wants to bully her out of her job.

This was fun, low on the scorch-o-meter, but a bit predictable. I guessed very early on who it was who wanted to get rid of Zoe - they just had to think about motive.
