KILLER COMPETITION
A champion ski jumper, Nick Walsh wants one thing: to win the gold for his late brother. Nick has always blamed himself for his family’s tragic loss—and so does everyone else. To complicate things, sweet and shy reporter Julie Frost insists on doing a story about him. But as Nick gets closer to achieving his dream, someone will do anything to stop him. Somehow, Nick must keep Julie from getting too close as they confront a threat that can destroy them both. Julie and Nick are on the verge of discovering the truth about his brother’s death…unless an unknown murderer finds them first.
My take:
Treacherous Slopes was a fun read. I liked the setting and that the main character was an athlete. The romance was sweet, mainly because the characters knew each other growing up and this was kind of their “second chance”.
The villain was not a surprise, as I saw it coming, but it was still good. I can’t believe all the things he/she tried to do to harm him!
All in all, a good read. It wasn’t that gripping of a story, but I did still like the book.
I’m an avid reader who loves books that keep me glued to the page, anticipating what is going to happen next, and suspense books definitely give me that!
