Review briefs are just like they sound, a briefer review (and usually for more
than one book) than my norm for books that I want or need to share about.
It's also a play off of legal briefs, which include just what you need to know...

Summary
Professional ice skater, Holly Opland is cut from a popular reality TV show Skating with the Stars, due to an old knee injury. When the media gets wind of her career-ending medical issues, Holly decides she needs to disappear. She flees to the small town of Ranchette Station, which also happens to be the hometown of Colden Holt--her skating partner from season one. When their old chemistry returns Holly has to decide whether an entire lifestyle change is worth the price of love.
My Review
ON THIN ICE is a story of a dream lost and learning that dreams can change. It's a sweet and short romance with great characters, small-town charm, and a little celebrity fame. It was easy to fall into this story and enjoy it to the end. An overall delightful story for romance lovers.

Summary
Eve Matthews is in charge of the biggest event of the holiday season—a charity Christmas Ball. Her planning committee is charging full steam ahead to throw the most romantic party of the decade until she discovers that her boyfriend Janus Clairbourne, head of Ranchette Station's Woodworkers Association, has double booked his tradeshow with her Christmas Ball. This misunderstanding could destroy a century-old charity organization and Eve's hopes for a romantic Christmas proposal.
My Review
DOUBLE BOOKED is set in a charming little town where a relationship is at risk as an activity center is double booked, ruining one of the character's plans and pitting her against her boyfriend. After loving the first book in this series, expectations were that this one would be just as good. It was an enjoyable story, but there were some issues with feeling the heroine was justified and the chemistry felt off. Thank goodness for a lovely happily-ever-after ending.

I would actually love a story involving the country singer and former actress that were introduced in ON THIN ICE. I think there's a lot of history and backstory there that can add some depth to the characters. The town is also quite charming, which adds to each of these stories.
