February 2026: the Italian Winter Olympics. The only thing on Sam Harrington’s mind is winning her first medal for snowboarding.
Enter Finn Bradley. They've had a 'friends forever' pact for, well, forever, so Sam pushes her growing feelings aside and tries to focus on training.
But when a major team sponsorship falls through, Sam needs to find funding, and fast. When they're told that pretending to be a couple will give them a better chance at finding sponsors, Sam and Finn agree to fake a relationship. They spend all their time together already, surely pretending to be a couple won't be a slippery slope…
There's only one problem. Finn's secretly been in love with her for years, and this Olympic season, he's decided that as well as a medal, he wants to win Sam over.

A flirty, sporty, cozy read perfect for the winter! "Melting Point" reminds me of "Chalet Girl" paired with the Olympic competition vibes of "The Cutting Edge". Bundle up and get ready to hit the slopes for this wild ride!
Sam and Finn, teammates in more than one way, are juggling the pressures to earn sponsorships, family expectations, and the pursuit of Olympic medals. When the sponsorship opportunity of their dreams rolls around - they jump at the chance to make it happen, even if it means pretending to be a couple. What seems like a real relationship on the outside is more real on the inside than they're each willing to admit. Neither Sam nor Finn ever let previous relationships stick - not ever opening up enough to let something happen - as if they knew they were waiting on each other.
They lean on each other as they face the real and proverbial mountains in front of them. Finn faces big feelings for Sam and the challenge to provide a great life for his mom. Sam faces broken relationships with her brother and father.
This book delivers:
- Best Friends-to-Lovers
- Olympic Competition Drama
- Fake Dating
- Slow Burn and SPICE
While the pacing lagged in a few places, there were shining moments that pulled me right back in. I was on the edge of my seat each time they competed, as if I was watching their events live. And the tender realization of their feelings was sweet, rewarding, and well worth the wait.
A great pick for readers who love sporty romances with heart, friends-to-lovers, and the nail-biting thrill of competition.
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books, and Cici Williams for early access to this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this spicy romance novel. I was hooked from the very first page and kept reading until the end as I wanted to know what happened. The story was cute and easy to follow and had a great cast of characters. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more by the author.
