About This Audiobook
Jasmine Santos has spent nearly two decades in competitive figure skating, enduring injuries, setbacks, and fading opportunities. When a chance to extend her career arrives, it comes with an unbearable catch: partnering with Ivan Lukov, the infuriatingly arrogant skater she has loathed for years. Forced together on the ice, the two must navigate a slow, combative thaw as rivalry gives way to something neither of them planned for. Mariana Zapata's signature slow-burn style stretches across a nearly fifteen-hour runtime, letting the tension between Jasmine and Ivan build with deliberate, satisfying patience.
Callie Dalton and Teddy Hamilton bring sharp contrast to the dual narration, with Dalton capturing Jasmine's stubborn wit and internal fire while Hamilton delivers Ivan's teasing charm with just the right edge of sincerity. The long runtime, which might drag in lesser hands, works in the story's favor here, mirroring the glacial pace at which these two stop fighting what's obvious to everyone around them.
