Ski-Crossed Lovers by Allison Temple (Love On The Podium)

 

Kicking off a six book series celebrating queer love at the Olympics, Ski-Crossed Lovers brings us an emotional best friends to lovers story with so much more! 

From the blurb:

Winners don't always come first.

Canadian ski cross phenom Cedric Bérard has spent his life chasing speed, glory, and his best friend Austin down every mountain they could find. They’ve always pushed each other harder, faster, closer to the edge—until one night, Cedric falls in a different way.

One kiss. One touch. A tumble into something neither of them planned for. Suddenly Cedric’s dream isn’t just about Olympic medals—it’s about Austin. The way he makes Cedric feel weightless, the way desire hits harder than any crash on the snow, the way one night leaves Cedric craving more.

But every fall has consequences. One mistake on the mountain leaves Cedric’s future in pieces—his shot at the Games, his friendship with Austin, and the love he never expected to find. Because some falls don’t just end a race—they change the course of a life.

Ski-Crossed Lovers is part of the Love On The Podium shared queer romance series.
 
 
Heather's Review:
 
I am loving the concept of the Love on the Podium series - queer athletes at the top of their sports finding love and acceptance in an Olympic year!  Ski-Crossed Lovers is first out of the gate and it crashes into your heart almost immediately.  Exploring their connection, dealing with the medical and psychological issues of a failed event and crash, and balancing friendship and yearning... this book is an emotional roller coaster and a chance to watch love blossom on the Podium!  
 
I'm reading the whole series and next we'll turn to hockey with a sapphic romance - A Good Puck!
