Madelyn Spier spends hours each day holding the hand of the most popular boy at school...on the ice.  She wants more than their figure skating partnership, and a romantic new program could be her big break.  Or a big break-up, since the only thing that rivals Gabriel Nielsen's number of medals is his number of ex-girlfriends.  But just like her father, Senator Spier, Maddy is dedicated, determined, and driven.  She's not about to let a few crash landings get in her way.  

Gabe knows Maddy has a crush on him but he hasn't spent years braving a freezing ice rink at five in the morning to have his Olympic hopes shattered by yet another break-up.  He's not getting involved with Maddy – until their coach convinces him to pretend to be in love with her.  As the line between pretend and reality blurs, Maddy and Gabe discover the Senator's hiding a secret of his own.  Can they keep their trust in each other and achieve their golden dreams as their families crack apart?

Patrice is a figure skater and she spent half of her life in competitions and the other half in academics. Her life is almost perfect. She has everything except for him: Louise. He is not the guy she wished and dreamed of. He's totally a worry freak, a bully, and a bit snobby, but still, she cared for him more than anyone else. Would Patrice confess? Or will she just let Louise figure it out for himself?

To Love Asher Cole by Bella_Williams123

Asher Cole could be more interested in a rock than Oakleigh Keating. And yet, Oakleigh could not be more interested in Asher. Oakleigh Keating has had a crush on Asher Cole, a close friend of hers, since before she could remember. Yeah, Oakleigh and every other girl that's ever met him. Star football player, criminally good looks and a panty melting smile? It's no wonder. But despite spending years trying to get him to notice her, Asher only seems to see Oakleigh as his little sister's friend or someone to tease or laugh at. But after seventeen years of hopefully pining after a boy who couldn't care less, Oakleigh decides it's time to grow up. Leave Asher Cole in the dust and move onto bigger and better things - like the Royal Albert Hall. Like her career as a ballerina. Like getting skinnier. Like the promise she made to her father. The answer is simple: Forget Asher Cole. So why can't she get this damn boy out of her head? --- TW: The main character of this book suffers from an undiagnosed eating disorder. This book is not designed to harm, trigger or offend anyone. Not everyone in the world of ballet has these experiences, but some do, and if this work of fiction offends you please stop reading.

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance) by DomiSotto

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).

However, when the two of them meet for the first time, Fiona doesn't know how to react, because she's seen him before, in a photograph that she spent time daydreaming about, thinking what it would be like to meet the goalie and to fall in love. But the difference is now that it's real, she realizes that it's a lot scarier than it was in her head. Will Cohen be able to help her face her fears, or will their love story remain a fantasy? *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ For all those who dream of having their own book-worthy romance, don't be scared; I have faith that you'll find it. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ #1 collegeromance #1 collegesports #3 collegehockey #3 goalie #4 iceskating #9 jockxnerd #16 goodgirlxbadboy
