It’s not all fun and games
Ethan
The Unity Games. Hundreds of hot, competitive, foreign women all staying in Italy for two weeks? Um… yes please! A no-pressure competition where I can show off my snowboard-X skills and time to party guilt-free? Talk about my ideal trip. But when I find out my old friend and partner Elle Ball is staying in the Village too, everything else becomes so shallow. After all, she’s the woman I’ve measured all others against. Now that she’s back in my life for such a short time, am I even good enough to move past “just friends”?
I love her passion and tenacity. She’s everything I’m not. After a terrible moment at the opening ceremonies and her own brush with death, she starts to think some of these “accidents” don’t seem so accidental. When Elle sets her mind to something, all I can do is help and try to hang on. Maybe then I can prove my worth.
Elle
This is what I’ve been working for my whole life. The sacrifice, the early mornings and late nights… It comes down to this. This competition will land me a spot in the US Olympic Figure Skating team for sure. All I have to do is keep my head down and eye on the prize. It would’ve been easy if it weren’t for Ethan McNally.
The last time I saw him, he was a gangly kid… and one of my best friends. Now he’s a major hunk and that poses a huge distraction. So why can’t I stop thinking about him?
I’m surprised to find help and support from new friends as I dive into the strange events going on behind the scenes. As I unravel a vast conspiracy, I can’t help but wonder about my reunion with Ethan. Is he all that he seems or is he saying things I want to hear? Or, like this the Unity Games, were we doomed from the start?
I absolutely loved that this wasn't your everyday sports romance! When I seen Elle was a figure skater I knew I had to read this book. You actually get more than just a romance. There is mystery added into this story.
This book takes place in Italy at the Unity Games. strange things start happening. People start getting hurt. Elle and Ethan try to figure it all out.
Maybe a second chance is all these two need.... I am so hoping that the following books revolve around secondary characters I really want to know more about!
This is the first book by Adele Huxley I have read. I know I will be back for more after this one.
~*~ A few lines I enjoyed from Bronze ~*~
"It's always been you, hasn't it? Even back then... I knew."

Elle wrapped her legs around his torso and laughed. With a little wiggle of her ass, she slid down to feel his hardness between her legs. The sensation made her breath quicken.
"I don't remember this hold when we skated together."
His eyes darted to her mouth before he replied.
"I fantasized about doing this a thousand times."
"Lifting me?"
A mischievous grin made his eyes glitter.
