"3 out of 5 stars. Two lost souls find each other and start up a relationship that grows into something neither expected, while dealing with their own personal issues. This novel was more of a "real" Hollywood love story then I think I was ready for, as I was hoping for something a little romantic then this was. Nevertheless, this fast paced novel keeps you on your toes and riveted while throwing twist after twist at you."

Lovely story! This page turner book entertained me till the last page.
I liked the sexy tattooed rock star and his transformations. Also sweet Ella earned my heart.
While reading the book I realized how much I would like to be kind and strong as Maddy was. Loved her answers to different situations.
This is a very sensitive story worth reading. There are turning points and emotional moments that spiced up everything.
Would love to meet Maddy and Asher in the next Rachel Cross’s book, I already miss them.

They are many quotes I've liked in this book. Here are just some:
“...placing too much trust in other people to manage vast sums of money – and people – was ill advised.”
“...my feelings for you don’t have an off switch.”
“Sometimes doing the right thing could be disastrous.”… (mer)

The last thing former figure skating champion, Amelia Astor, wants to do is become a coach. However, she has been given an offer she could not refuse to teach Hollywood actor Shane Marx to skate for a potential role in a hockey film.

Amelia was an interesting heroine. She is nearing the end of her skating career and wants to perform one last season before she retires. She struggled with personal issues that make her believable and endearing.

Shane Marx has issues of his own, coming from nothing and then making it big. He needs to stay out of trouble and clean up his bad-boy act. Hoping that a pretend relationship with Amelia will benefit his career.

The unlikely couple actually had more in common than someone on the outside would think. They make an enjoyable couple that I wanted to prosper. They complement each other well and helped each other grow.

I really enjoyed Spiraling by Rachel Cross. The story was extremely believable and was well written. I enjoyed everything about this book. It was face pace and kept me engaged. I felt invested in the characters and loved the story.
