The Dream's Edge series is so good. It began with the novella Dancing to Freedom. The final book, Worlds Collide, brings the series full circle.

I have loved getting to know the characters. Tyler and Amaliya are very talented. After winning Olympic Gold they head to Canada to participate in the World's competition. There is more at stake than winning gold, Amaliya's mother wants to see her brother. She defected from Russia and knows she is at risk if she comes near the KGB or her brother. This book is intense with political intrigue, high-speed chases, romance, and reunions. I loved it!

Traci Hunter Abramson's writing pulled me in. Her pacing and story are excellent. I highly recommend this series. I wouldn't mind if there is a spin-off series and I can reconnect with the characters.

This wonderful series follows two very ambitious skaters, Tyler, and Amaliya as they head to the Olympics. This story starts right after the couple have won at the Olympics, and they hope to do even better in the World games. One of my favorite things to watch at the Winter Olympics is the pairs figure skating competition. They are so graceful and do amazing dance moves and tricks. I’m always blown away by their free style programs and the music they choose.

This author does an amazing job of capturing the day in the life of these two champions, with the pressure these two are under to stay focused on their training, hoping to do the same or even better the World games. The competition is steep. Tyler had fallen a few times in practice. Their coach does an incredible job of keeping the couple on track. Encouraging them when they fall and for them not to be overwhelmed. Then there is the decision of what to do next in their life. Do they go pro? Do they have an endorsement contract or two on the table they need to decide on? Yes, Yes, and Yes. Oh, and there is this little thing called “marriage” where does that fit in?

Then there is the suspense and drama around Amallya’s mother, Katerina and her possibly meeting up with her brother and family from Russia. Since the World games were in Canada, they had a chance. This had nail biting suspense with this family and the KGB. Loved it.

I adored hanging out with this couple and their family and friends. Everyone wants the best for them. They don’t know what is best for them now. There is a lot of soul searching for the couple and their families. It's a group effort. Everyone had their input, but the ultimate choice was with Tyler, and Amallya. I felt for this skating team and the impossible choices they had to make. I enjoyed every minute I spent with this skating team and their family. I hate to see the series end.
