Book Summary

A lifetime ago, Maggie Alexander’s parents narrowly missed medaling in the Olympics as pairs figure skaters. Now a coach, her father Gordon is living his dreams through the skaters he trains—until Maggie is forced to deliver heartbreaking news: her mother’s battle against cancer will be a losing one. Shattered, her father loses his dreams in an instant—his beloved wife and his will to coach. Left to pick up the pieces, a devastated Maggie finds herself relying on the steadfast support of her childhood best friend, Lance Whitmore. 

Despite the fact that Maggie has never seen Lance as more than a friend, his heart has always been hers. Lance does what he can to help Maggie work through her grief, and soon their friendship blossoms into love. But when distance threatens their relationship, Maggie is torn between building a life with the man she loves and helping her broken father rebuild his life.



My Review

Broken Dreams is a novella in the Dream's Edge Series. It centers around the life of Gordon Alexander, an Olympic Figure Skating coach who readers met in the novel, An Unlikely Pair. The novella shows how Gordon eventually became the coach to Amaliya and Tyler. Much of this novella can be heartwrenching as we see how Gordon and his daughter Maggie learn to deal with the loss of Gordon's wife and Maggie's mom. 


Another wonderful aspect of this novella is we see the Whitmore family (Remember Senator Jim Whitmore from the Saint Squad Series?) that live next door to Gordon and Maggie. Lance has been Maggie's best friend for years. We see why the Whitmores are such super people in that they truly supported the Alexander family as Irene went through her cancer struggle and after she passed. We also see the love that went into Gordon and Maggie healing from their loss.


I simply love this new series, Dream's Edge, and the world of competitive figure skating. Traci is so amazing at what she does, in that she can make a novella seem like a complete novel. This author creates such magic with her characters as she brings them to life. I'm always pulled into the characters' lives, thoughts, and feelings. It will be hard to wait until February when the next novel, Dream's of Gold comes out. You definitely want to read this novella that firmly stitches together your view and insight into more characters in the Dream's Edge series.
