"She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family's support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating-and each other-to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and rollercoaster relationship. Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end. As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the "real story" through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary. But she can't stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy either. So, after a decade of silence, she's telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines"--

If you are counting down the days until the next Winter Olympics, explore the drama and determination of getting a gold in The Favorites. It is filled with drama. It's a nod to Wuthering Heights, but with ice dancing. There are the figure skating rivalries, the international intrigue, the off-rink backstabbing, the on-rink backstabbing, the oscillation of love and hate between partners, and many angry walks through the rain. Honestly, there is too much drama. This book is packed with it. But I don't care--I enjoyed it. It was a great winter distraction. -Anne M
