Elizabeth Harmon has pinned a story that is about more than romance. It is a redemption song, an underdog story and a second chance at missed opportunities. I received an ARC of Getting It Back in exchange for an honest review. I have never had the chance to experience Ms. Harmon's work before but am glad to be getting the chance now. Misha and Amy's story was not perfect but it was a euphoric escape into one of my favorite sports. There was definite chemistry between the main characters that made the story more captivating and emotive. It was easy to get caught up in the sincerity of this story. ( ) I love figure skating. Seriously, I think its the best Olympic sport ever. So, needly to say, I jumped on reading this book!! Getting it Back combines skating and second chances for a great romance! Misha is a very well written character! He has some demons to battle-his injury and his strained relationship with his father. Amy is still a bit burned from Misha's brush off years earlier but when he asked for her help, she gave it. I loved Amy as well-she is such a 'fixer'. I also really enjoyed the comeback story of Misha. He wants to be a gold medalist again even though his injury is pretty significant. Amy really thinks he should find the joy in teaching and coaching because his body can't handle the demands of being a professional athlete any longer. There are just so many layers to the story that you can't put it down. However, Misha could be a bit of a jerk at times. He was so selfish and perhaps it seemed even more noticeable because Amy is so giving. Also, while I breezed through the first 1/2 of the book, the second 1/2 seemed a bit slow and I found myself skimming a bit. So, my final thoughts are that if you love second chance romance, figure skating, and comeback kids, you should check out Getting it Back! (PS-Its the first book in the series I have read even though its book 3; it totally can be read as a stand alone!) The Book Disciple ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
