This book was just as good as the first two books. I am really enjoying reading her books. I really hope we get a fourth book soon because this series is one of my favorites this summer.

As someone who generally felt apathetic towards Khabra’s previous efforts , it is with utmost glee that I can report that Revolve is easily her best work!!! (imo) . The banter was sharp and funny. I enjoyed the pacing of the relationship and how their bickering , though maintained, changed as Sierra and Dylan got closer . I loved it and I can’t wait to re-read when the audio releases.

THANK YOU BOOK PUBLISHING GODS (AKA BERKLEY ROMANCE) FOR REUNITING ME WITH MY FAVOURITES !

I don't know what Bal Khabra keeps putting in her books, but I would like 15 more please!!

I LOVED Dylan and that he was down bad so quickly for Sierra. He is the epitome of a golden retriever boy/boyfriend.
I resonated with Sierra sooooo much! Especially when it came to her internal thoughts & feelings, some things she went through, and even her evolving relationship with Dylan.

I loved Dylan & Sierra together and seeing a reverse grumpy x sunshine with their dynamic!

Sierra is probably my favorite FMC in this universe now (sorry Summer oops)

e-ARC: 4⭐️ my favorite so far in this series, this was such a fun, feel-good adorable romcom – for which you have to 100% abandon reality and just fully ignore the absolute un-believability of the basic premise (but otherwise nearly perfect!)

in all seriousness, i loved these characters, i loved their banter, i loved their vulnerable moments and sincere connection……. you just really have to ignore the sports of it all (no spoilers or else i could go on for days about it lol)

but for real! thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the e-ARC, I absolutely enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the previous books in the series, or is just interested in the premise (could probably be read as a standalone without missing too much, but i definitely recommend reading the first two as well!)

4.5 stars!!!

“you seriously think that i’d drop you? after all you’ve been through, you think there’d be a second that i’d ever let you touch the ground before i could catch you?”

this was very close to being a 5 star read for me, but it was a little too spicy for my taste, but other than that, it checked all of the boxes for me!

💜 sizzling chemistry & witty banter
💜 the sweetest found family & hilarious best friend
💜 mental health rep & support through recovery
💜excellent pacing & beautiful character development

i really liked the fact that dylan was, not only a hockey player, but a figure skater as well. seeing him pair up with sierra and support her through her anxiety after an injury was so sweet. the way he handled her panic attacks with such care was really special to read.

p.s. if kian (dylan’s best friend) gets a book next i will scream because i love him!! he gave stiles stilinski energy & he was the perfect comedic relief 🥲🫶🏼

thank you to netgalley for sending an arc in exchange for my honest opinion!

I liked this one, the dynamic between the two main characters was fun but held a lot of depth as well as the FMC overcame the trauma surrounding her accident and injury. As usual, all the side characters in this series were so great and lovable. I will say there were a lot of errors and typos in this galley that I know will be cleaned up in final round of editing before publishing but it was honestly pretty distracting throughout the story.

4.5 Stars

This is definitely my favorite book so far in this series. I love a figure skater/hockey player romance and I ate this one up. I finished it in 2 days. Dylan and Sierra were both struggling with different things in their lives and skating brought them together. Great banter. I loved both of them.

I also really love the friendships in this book and the found family that all the hockey players have created. There is great mental health representation in this story.

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the ARC.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group, and Bal Khabra for the opportunity to read the e-arc of Revolve in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I really loved this book! This is the second book I have read in the Off the Ice series (I also read Collide), and it perfectly encapsulated everything I love about Bal's writing. The way she is able to keep a book feeling light, while introducing themes with serious undertones is really what I enjoy about her books - this one in particular - and I think this is what made this book seem "real".

Dylan's constant support of Sierra through her journey of self re-discovery after her accident was truly what kept me coming back for more when reading this book.

Two BIG thumbs up from me for this book - oh - and as always, the cover looks stunning. I am excited to add to my collection when it hits bookshelves in October!

4.5 stars

I absolutely loved Collide and Spiral, but Revolve has truly claimed a special place in my heart. Sierra and Dylan were such a compelling pair, and I found their connection irresistible. Their banter was amazing, their emotional chemistry palpable, and I couldn’t tear myself away from the pages. What resonated with me most was the thoughtful portrayal of mental health within the context of sports, especially Sierra’s journey with PTSD from her skating accident. I also really appreciated watching Dylan come into his own after two books filled with chaos, poor choices, and hangovers. His growth felt hard-earned and deeply satisfying.

Thank you Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The author did such a wonderful job portraying the emotions for the main characters. I felt like as if I was courtside watching everything. I did appreciate how each book is separate yet still connected because of the characters. I would be promoting this series to my patrons.

Revolve is an emotional yet fun/flirty sport romance. This story had me hooked from the first time Sierra and Dylan met. I loved the push and pull throughout the book and the passionate connection Dylan and Sierra shared.

Sierra was once an Olympic level figure skater but her career was derailed when she had a near death experience on the ice. After much physical and emotional trauma she's ready to get back on the ice. One major problem... her partner ditched her when she was injured and she has to find another partner quickly.
Enter Dylan...a playboy hockey player with a hot head and major fanily drama. When he's sidelined for a failed drug test, he realizes how much he's spiraled.
Forced into an unlikely partnership, Sierra and Dylan immediately have an intense physical chemistry. Their banter had me chuckling throughout the book. They both have deep emotional wounds that they need to work through and the slow-burn builds into a perfect explosion. Watching them struggle, fight and ultimately bring out the best in each other not only physically but emotionally was very moving.

What I really loved about this book is how it gives us a glimpse into the intensity of sports and what athletes go through. The writing for the skating scenes are so vivid, I feel like I'm watching from the stands. The emotional connection that formed between Sierra and Dylan was so strong and they will definitely live on in my head for a long time.

I do feel like the end was a bit rushed. I feel like some of the chapters could have been shortened to make the ending longer but I was still satisfied with the end!

I am such a huge fan of Bal Khabra! She is one of my auto buy authors. Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for chance to read and review this book early!

Revolve is book 3 in the Off the Ice Series.

This was the first book I've read from this author and in this series. I absolutely loved this book! IMO you don't have to read in order but I would recommend it because it's a great story! I think the author did a great job with the stories progression, and the characters. I had a hard time putting this book down! This is a easy read that if I had time I would've finished all at once. The MMC had a troubled home life, went and partied, and test positive for drugs and could cost him his chance at a hockey career. The FMC is was a figure skater who's injury almost cost her the ability to skate. Now that she is back on the ice she is fighting against the odds to reach her goals. If you enjoy slow burn romance, with a happy ending then I would recommend adding this book to your TBR.

I normally love her books, but this one felt too similar to Ice breaker. I loved the mental health aspect, and I understand that her trauma from her ex partner and pressure on herself caused her to be so distrust full, but in the beginning she was annoying with how she blamed him for being her partner when he was being stuck with the same situation. It just felt like a lot of repetition of the same issues with no full conflict head, and the resolution was him saving her? I loved Spiral so much, this one felt flat compared to it?

I also recognized that my digital arc had MANY errors and it constantly took me out of the story. So I am willing to give a finished copy another chance. I love hockey romance, and I had real,y high hopes for this one

thank you net galley and berkley publishing for the arc in exchange for an honest review!

i read collide when it was indie published and absolutely loved it—five stars all the way! then i picked up spiral and gave it three stars because the story just didn’t click with me. still, since i love a good hockey romance, i decided to give the series another shot with revolve. unfortunately, this one just didn’t connect with me either.

i felt like the story could’ve been tighter and shorter. i also got confused a lot with the timelines and chapter endings. for example, in the same chapter it would be a monday and they’d be having dinner, then suddenly on the next page they’d be ice skating. maybe this was an arc formatting issue, but it made me skim because i kept losing track.

that said, i totally see why others love this series and understand the positive reviews. it just wasn’t for me personally. it felt kind of eternal—like the story just kept going without a satisfying end but there were cute moments and thats why I gave it three stars!

Revolve was a great addition to the Off the Ice series. I love the found family in these books as well as the way Khabra writes the hockey/skating aspects. It all feels very well balanced. The 180 that happens with Dylan in this book was fun to read and Sierra was very easy to root for. Really looking forward to book four and hopefully getting Scarlett and Kian's story.

I wanna start the review by appreciating the author, cuz the first book in this series,which is Collide, was my first ever hockey romance and that is the reason that I love hockey romances now.

Honestly, I was bored for the first 30%, but thennn.... Then, the book actually started and I was hooked, like, I couldn't put my phone down and stop reading cuz this book was a mixture of fun and laughter and tension, but it was emotional as well.

Now, I LOVE both the main characters, but Sierra... Did I mention that I love feisty female leads? Idk why, but I just love them and I love Sierra. But what I love about her the most is that aside from being feisty, she's also really caring. Now let's move on to DYLAN FCKING DONOVAN. This guy!!! Gahhhh!!! I have no words to describe this guy,but all I can say is that he's the best (not really, cuz I love Aiden more).

I'm not really giving any spoilers here but... The alcohol scene at the party🤭 anddd... The ice scene- 🤭🛐 (Thanks Bal, for fulfilling our fantasies).

I loved Dylan in Collide so I was so excited for this book but I loved it even more than I could have imagined. Dylan Donovan definitely has my whole heart. It was so eye opening to see the backstory to his character and watch him work through his emotions and learn to lean on sierra and lean on his friends and that it’s okay to do so. It was emotional and moving and I loved it. Although I was screaming true whole time at him to open up to his friends to tell them what was going on that he didn’t have to be the funny guy all the time that they’d love him and support him no matter what and it wouldn’t be burdening them. So when he finally did and they were all so great it was so amazing to see that weight lifted off Dylan. He was also just such a good boyfriend and always there for sierra their chemistry and relationship was so well written and I just binged this book. I also loved the cameos with summer and Aiden and the jokes about them fighting and flirting. I don’t want to give anything away but I loved them so much and you definitely need to give this one a read.

I might come back and put a more composed and detailed review together but for now all that you need to know is that this one was so good and you definitely need to go pick it up.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Bal Kahbra for the ARC. This review is my opinions and I left it voluntarily.

This was so fun to read! After reading book 1, I had high hopes and this did not disappoint. The way the author wrote the nuances of sport injuries and pressure on the playing field felt way beyond a "typical" contemporary-hockey romance. The character dynamics were great and the male love interest had an enjoyable pov to read about too! It went beyond the typical life-entirely-for-the-fmc and explored the stereotypical "playboy" archetype. Overall, I would recommend this to fans of the genre, but also beyond that because of how well done it was written.

I loved this story! I really enjoyed The Cutting Edge vibes! I loved getting to learn about their pasts and seeing how their relationship grew.

Thank you for the ARC copy, all opinions are my own.

this book was absolutely everything!!!! i wish i could reread it for the first time again because i just had the absolute best time with it. It involved so many tropes, plot points, and character traits that i love and it made it so so perfect. Dylan and Sierra are perfect in every way and i loved how this story developed in emotional ways, involved ice skating (my love), and brought to life a story of love and surrender. Bal Khabra has done it yet again and i can't wait for everyone to experience this beautiful book.

DYLAN!!! my king, he reminded me so much of Noah in the Notebook and how he was constantly willing to go as far as humanly possible for Sierra he is the standard of a soft golden retriever, hopelessly devoted to you man!! he was so perfect, loving, kind everything a girl wants to read in a mmc i wish he was real!!!! the way he cared so deeply for others around him and often shielded those he loved from his problems because he thought he was too much was just so selfless. i love him so much he's also incredibly hot?! im melting.

SIERRA!!! my girl forever she is the personified version of mirrorball by Taylor Swift i am just so in love with her and the way she carried herself, always trying to be strong for others while she was hurting but here comes by boy DYLAN shifting her perspective, i really felt that she learned to love and value herself through his devotion to her and she realized she is worthy of all the good in the world.

this book is definitely without a doubt my favorite in the series i would rank revolve, collide, and spiral. i loved revolve so so much and i will definitely be buying a physical copy and rereading soon because this couple now means everything to me!!! also the spice was spicing!! i love bal khabra i am a stan forever and ever.
