Kiss To Defy

Kiss To Defy A Multicultural College Sports Romance

Anna B. Doe2021
They belong to two completely different worlds... After dedicating her entire life to figure skating, Rei Mitchell-Nagasaki is ready for a little bit of normal. And what's more normal than attending college? Zane West has had a rough life, but he's found his way out of Ashton Heights and he isn't about to lose it all when the demons of his past come knocking at the door. ... that are about to collide on the ice. Rei has one semester to show her father that she can have it all-a normal life and making it to the Winter Games-but it's not so easy when there is a broody hockey player standing in her way. Once heated arguments turn into sharing the rink and late-night kisses, neither of them will be able to resist the pull. Will they manage to defy the odds or was their love doomed from the very beginning?

I’m loving all of Anna’s books and this one was pretty amazing. I loved Rei and Zane and how they came together. Zane is a hockey player and we knew him from the previous books, he’s friends with Nix and like family with Hayden and I really wanted to read more about him. Rei is new to Blairwood and determined to balance her college life with her figure skating life. She becomes fast friends with Grace, Yasmin’s best friend and Jade, Nixon’s sister. We read some of their interactions and how they help Rei loosen up and have fun besides all the work she does. At first she and Zane don’t get along but little by little they start getting to know one another and despite being from opposites worlds they have a lot in common and they start having feelings for each other. I really enjoyed their interactions, Zane always felt he wasn’t good enough for her but Rei never cared about that so I loved how she always tried to tell him he was what she wanted. It was hard for them to be together thanks to her dad and coach but at the end nothing mattered that what they both felt for each other. Now I can’t wait to read more about Grace and maybe Jade and Maddox’s story too. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
