Book Summary
Nine months ago, Amaliya Marcell’s world was rocked when she nearly lost her parents in a devastating accident. In that moment, everything changed, and it was with no small amount of determination that the former ballerina rebuilt her life into something wonderful alongside the man she loves, her pair's ice-skating partner, Tyler.
Since he was a child, Tyler Linden has dreamed of Olympic gold. And with Amaliya by his side, he’s confident that his goal is finally within reach. The pair is on track to compete in the Winter Games in Leningrad, but the path to gold turns out to be rougher than they expected. A painful injury on the ice shakes Amaliya’s confidence, and it will take every ounce of willpower to keep working toward the competition of her life. But when the discovery of a family secret connects her to the Soviet Union, the truth of her history forges within Amaliya a renewed determination to make her Olympic dreams a reality.
My Review
The Winter Olympics was such a fabulous time to release this new book, Dreams of Gold by Traci Hunter Abramson. This book takes place soon after the last book ended in An Unlikely Pair. Of course, the thing all readers were wondering was whether or not pair's ice-skating partners Tyler and Amaliya would someday make it to the Olympics. Let's just say, it's a long, hard road getting there. There were many obstacles in the way that shocked me. Both Tyler and Amaliya struggle as Amaliya's parents come back home and adjust to their daughter's new partner/boyfriend. There is a stalker causing problems, injuries needing to heal, and fears that must be faced. There are a few trigger warnings of an assault and the trauma behind that.
You could just pick up this book and be fine. Here's a BIG but...you will enjoy and "feel" more and understand the characters better by reading the first book. If you really want to become emotionally involved in the characters found in this series, you must read the previous novellas that tell Amaliya's parents' story and their skating coach's story too.
The tension builds so much midway in the book and doesn't falter until the very last page. I could not hold still as I waited for competition skating results. I felt like I was watching the drama taking place in real life. Dreams of Gold had such a satisfying ending with no cliffhangers this time. It leads beautifully into the next book. I'm excited for more books to come in this series.
