Author: Angela Steed ISBN: 9780979325250 11/2007 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: BLACK LYON PUBLISHING

The "God of Snow" has met his match. He never followed the rules. Vince Evans, professional snowboarder, is a black-haired, green-eyed charmer no woman can tame and no man can match on the slopes. Followed by a flurry of bad publicity and a trail of ex-managers, his Olympic dreams teeter on the brink unless he can orchestrate a career turnaround. And fast. Her rules were unbendable. After a year-long hiatus, public relations extraordinaire Morgan Price is ready to resume her high-profile job resurrecting musicians fallen from grace. A bad-boy athlete is not the type of client she expects—or wants. But then she sees a side of the "God of Snow" no one has seen before, a side she just might break all the rules of business for.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Angela Steed's debut release, 1080 KISS, is an enjoyable, contemporary romance that had me hooked from the first page. It's filled with witty dialogue and attractive characters that make this story a smooth and entertaining read. Steed is an author to be on the lookout for!

After having her heart broken by a client, high profile public relations manager Morgan Price has finally returned to her job. She's now determined to not become emotionally attached to her clients... that is, until the parents of professional snow boarder Vince Evans (aka "God of Snow") proposition her into taking Vince on as a client. Morgan is about to test her resolve when she sets eyes on the devilishly handsome athlete!

Vince Evans is on the road to losing his dream of being in the Olympics. His reckless attitude and irresponsibility has left him in need of sponsors. Although he doesn't want to have to adhere to any rules, he knows that Morgan is the best of the best in her profession, and if she says he needs to change, than that's just what he'll try to do.

Vince and Morgan have both been hurt in the past. One by a relationship, and the other by bad management. By working together, they become close friends and eventually begin to fall in love. But it wouldn't be any fun if something didn't happen to cause a rift in their blossoming relationship!

1080 KISS by Angela Steed is a sweet romance that is a perfect read for those snowed-in days. You'll easily fall in love with Vince and Morgan, and root for their happily-ever-after!
