Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Their tale is emotional with plenty of heat. The way their relationship builds, all in the mist of the Olympics, is riveting. Their entire lives have been driven by the politics of their sports and countries. Seriously, the pressure put on Mikhail is horrific. Knowing this is based on realistic events is devastating.
One of my favorite parts, other than one amazingly steamy moment, is the way the teams end up interacting in the end. It's perfectly written and just endeared me to the girls.
The writing is classic Keira Andrews, full of complex and likeable characters. Told in alternating third person pov, the reader easily comes to understand and care for both men. The author does a great job exploring the difficulties of falling for the competition, as well as the highs and lows of being an athlete. She also delves into two different heritages and ways of life, bringing these cultures alive for the reader.
Cold War is a riveting story of grabbing onto love even if it's an impossible situation. It's a story about freedom, priorities, and love. Not only is this Kiera Andrews book memorable, it's a definite re-read.
