Book review: SKATING THE BLUE LINE, by Jocelyne Soto

Chicago Dark Knights #1

Liam & Chloe

Delightful story and delightful characters!  I love the surprise pregnancy and sports romance, so I was enjoying the story very much!  Two athletes in the prime of their career, they meet, they like, they have a one-night stand but to their surprise, it felt like much more than a one night stand, so it turned into a one-week stand.  Then, they go their separate ways because hockey season started and ballet rehearsals for the winter shows also started.  

Both Chloe and Liam were dedicated to their careers, so family and settling down had been shoved into a future when they weren’t so focused on rising to the top.  But those two blue lines in a pregnancy test put a temporary stop to Chloe’s career.  

I loved how the author developed the characters! Chloe was enchanting, sweet and kind, very sexy when they were together, a sweet daughter to her Mami and Papi.  Liam was also very kindhearted and understanding.  I loved his stand when he learned Chloe is pregnant, supportive of her choices.  There were some very fun and relatable moments during the pregnancy and I loved seeing how this couple get closer.

In spite of being a very entertaining story, I couldn’t help but notice that the story construction and composition needed some editing.  This was an ARC so misspells are expected and they don’t affect my enjoyment nor my review, but I suspect there are sentence compositions, vocabulary chosen and verb conjugation that needed to be addressed.  I truly hope they’re fixed with the final version because it made the book feel very amateurish.  Also, the author didn’t include an epilogue, which is a part I always look after, to see how the characters are doing in the near future.
