I couldn't get into the book Life on the edge by Jennifer Comeaux and I was unable to finish the book..sorry

I was given the opportunity via NetGalley to read an electronic copy of Life on the Edge. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.

It has been four months since Emily and Chris placed second at their first national championship in pairs skating, with the ultimate goal being the Olympic Games. Having made a move to Cape Cod with their coach Sergei, Emily takes the opportunity to make some money as Sergei's assistant for one of the new novice pair teams. After going to a concert together as friends, will the lines be blurred between a personal and professional relationship for Sergei and Emily?

This sports romance has the potential for a good story, but missed the mark somewhat. Everything was just too easy for Emily and Chris, with the romance aspect both predictable and unrealistic. The author clearly knows the skating world, as the descriptions of the skating technique and the competition process were on par. I really did not feel that I got to know Sergei, Emily, or Chris all that well, leaving the story unbalanced. Readers who are fans of sports romances, and ice skating in particular, will most likely enjoy reading Life on the Edge.

This was a good book just not for me. I will however give Comeaux another chance.

If the synopsis intrigues you, there's a decent chance you'll like the story line. Unfortunately, this NetGalley reviewer found the writing style too robotic/mechanical most of the time. However, she did a really good job describing the actual skating scenes. She obviously knows a lot about this sport, but I needed better character development/interaction and dialog outside the skating rink.

Title: Life on the Edge, Author: Jennifer Comeaux, Pages: 435, did not finish, 19 year old heroine/25 year old hero, young adult.

(These comments are based on a NetGalley ARC received in exchange for an unbiased opinion. They will not be posted on retail sites as I am respectfully declining to write a full review since the writing style did not appeal to me personally.)

Readers will enjoy this lovely romance. Drama unfolds on and off the ice when Olympic hopeful, Emily, falls for her coach, Sergei. Will their love be enough to overcome the obstacles in their path? Readers will be anxiously turning pages to find out. Definitely recommend!
