Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Love on the Tracks (Snow & Ice Games #1) in Books

May 7, 2019

This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a contemporary sports romance read. This book has very likeable characters, you will fall in love with as you read. I enjoyed this story and couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this novel and am still a bit surprised that it still hasn't been made into a movie. I thought the concept was pretty creative, and this first novel in particular was well told.

On the other hand, I do feel that the series drops off a bit in the subsequent books. They all connect seamlessly, and the stories are all satisfying, just not as engaging as some of its contemporary YA novels.

Arthur Conan Doyle's (more famous for his Sherlock Holmes creation) adventure novel, following a scientific expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America, where prehistoric animals still survive.

Interesting not solely from a plot standpoint, but also as a window into the then contemporary views on the Dinosauria family: who mostly come across as slow and dull-witted compared to more recent interpretations, such as those in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.
