When Glory Cormer’s father introduces her to ‘their’ new business partner, she’s appalled. Viking-like Rolf Johansson exudes the same alpha-intimidation that jocks used to torment her through high school. After nursing her mother the last several years, she’s trying to break out of her shell and secretly pursue a writing career, but Rolf insists she go through with the rotten deal her father struck with his brother to renovate an old chalet.

Rolf envisions this mountain as a world-class resort for elite athletes and other jet setters. As a downhill champion and owner of a world-renowned sports equipment empire, he knows what it takes to get what he wants. Nothing will stop him, especially not a hotheaded wallflower who turns the ice in his veins to lava.

Bonus Story! This book contains Glory’s novella Blessed Winter, a no-room-at-the-inn Christmas romance.

On the Edge

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2018

I have to admit, I had a hard time getting into this book from the beginning. But I decided to keep on trying. The story turned out to be pretty good although a bit different from most books I read.

After Glory’s mother passes away from cancer, her father decides to invest all of his money in a fixer-upper ski lodge in Montana. Glory is forced to go with him to help out even though she thinks it’s a bad idea. Glory has her own ideas of how she wants to live her life. She wants to be a romance writer just like her mother. So, she writes in her spare time. What Glory didn’t expect was to fall for Rolf, their new business partner. She hated from the start. He was stubborn and refuses to let anyone get in his way of building a world class ski resort. But as in a romance book, they finally end up falling for each other.

This book is like two in one, the main story and also the book that Glory is writing. The way it was written made it a bit more difficult to read. I had to keep going back and rereading parts because I would get confused. But all around, it is a good and entertaining story.

A complex story I couldn’t stop reading

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2018

Book one in the Blue Spruce Lodge series, On The Edge is all about having the courage to follow your convictions. Well that and having the courage to fall in love.
Glory Cormer has spent most of her adult life hiding her writing skills, though she’s plenty talented and has years of experience editing her romance writer mother’s books, writing her blog and updating her website, then updating her mother’s stories after her death. With her father throwing everything her mother has earned into renovating an old ski lodge, Glory is constantly worried that he’s spending money they don’t have. With royalties from her mother’s books dwindling and a story practically telling itself to her she starts writing in secret, planning to release the book under her mother’s name once it’s done.
I completely related to Glory. Writing fiction of any kind is intensely personal and when it has all the emotional push and pull of romance it is extra daunting. Having been teased for her writing as a teenager Glory’s fear of rejection was very real.
Rolf is a winner. He doesn’t know how to be anything else and with that winning attitude comes arrogance and an expectation that half the world is fawning over him. I respected his ability from the start but only really started to like him as he revealed tiny little cracks in his perfection.
This story is complex on many levels, yet it is also compelling. It took me a few pages to get into it because there are two story threads, the real one and the story that Glory is writing. Having said that, I’m glad I kept going because once I was hooked I couldn’t stop reading.

Sexy and sharp

Reviewed in Australia on 18 January 2018

Glory's mother was a successful romance author. Unfortunately she passed away and left everything to Glory's father. Glory is managing her mother's legacy, but her father is the one who can spend the money and he does that by buying a lodge. The lodge needs a lot of work, so Glory has no choice but to join her not very responsible father to make sure the project is being managed well. Glory wants to write instead and has no interest in running the place at all.

When Glory's father introduces his daughter to his business partner Rolf there's friction straight away. They're attracted to each other, but Rolf is an arrogant man who just wants to reach his goals and has no regards for anyone's feelings, Glory's especially. Glory's only escape is her laptop where she can continue working on her novella. Will she and Rolf eventually be able to be civil to each other and what will happen when they get to know one another?

On the Edge is an original romantic story. I was intrigued by both Glory and Rolf. Glory is unhappy. She feels like she can't live her own life and is always looking after her parents, first her ill mother, which she lovingly did, and now her irresponsible father, which she reluctantly does. She's frustrated and the same goes for Rolf. Rolf is moody and his constant dark frame of mind doesn't brighten Glory's days. However, there's something between them that's worth exploring and their mutual reluctance made their connection incredibly interesting. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen when they'd both give in to their feelings instead of suppressing everything that's going on inside them. It was definitely explosive, which was something I loved.

Dani Collins has written a fascinating love story combined with an equally captivating novella. I liked that she's included the story Glory is writing and gladly read this extra treat. It's a fun way to describe the life of an author. I enjoyed reading about Glory's quest to find undisturbed writing time and the recognizable insecurities that a lot of writers are dealing with. I also admired the strong bond she and her mother formed through romantic stories, that's a great basis for a book. On the Edge isn't a standard sweet true love story, it's different and there's plenty of tension. I really liked this sexy and sharp book.

Read It By The Fire

Reviewed in Australia on 1 July 2018

I did like this. The female lead was particularly real, with her insecurities and temper explosions. There were some great scenes, but some other places in the book felt slow. The snippets of what the lead character was writing were interesting, although I did get a bit muddled between characters in the stories, especially where one character was inspired by another. The attraction to Rolf was obvious, but I needed to see more of the real him to understand why Glory fell in love beyond lust.
A good book to read by the fire in winter.

Disappointing.

ARC provided by NetGalley and Publisher in exchange for an honest review.

What a poorly written book/romance. I have enjoyed some of this author's books in the past but this was a major disappointment.

The hero and heroine pretty much hate each other. The way they interact is pretty much toxic as far as I'm concerned. I enjoy romances were the two MC hate each other at the beginning and fall in love by the end, but at least there is a semblance of respect. Not between these two. The heroine's character was weak and her development flatlined.

Heroine/Glory was pulled into her father's business/scheme deal after her mother's death. She wasn't happy but went along with it. Her father wasn't much of a stellar character either and wasn't very respectful or caring towards his daughter.

Rolf, was pretty much a jerk. The way he spoke to and treated Glory with disdain and he was demeaning. I really didn't see and heroic actions from him through much of the book.

And I normally am not bothered with some swearing, but this one was over the top in my humble opinion. It became irritating and off-putting.

The writing was choppy and confusing as it went back and forth from the actual story to the story-line the heroine was writing (she was writing a romance). I at times felt lost.

Found it very difficult to finish but I did.

Not often I give this author such a low rating, but her track record is normally pretty good.

5 star winner of a read

Stick with this past the first few chapters because you won’t like Rolf at first and Glory has to hit her stride. The dialogue is great, the rows are particular fun and the eventual love scenes are hot. They don’t have the formulaic description that is so familiar and a bit boring tbh. Rolf is an ‘alpha male’ - can’t say that’s my particular thing but Glory doesn’t roll over for a tummy rub and it makes a great read!
I’m ready to read more from this author.

I loved this book so much that I couldn’t put it down. I read it in two days. The setting was perfect. Loved all the supporting characters. Rolf and Glory were hot. The sex scenes almost set my iPad on fire. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
