Publisher Description
THIS JUST IN: HOCKEY BAD BOY AND POP STAR EXTRAORDINAIRE ENGAGED!
That was the headline we'd wanted. If only I’d known the cost to get it.
Aleksander Suter has been my best friend since high school—and the only man who’s ever been able to truly get under my skin. With his reputation for trouble and a smirk that could melt ice, he’s also the NHL’s favorite bad boy.
When my publicist’s plan to fix my image collides with his need to clean up his own, we find ourselves in a fake engagement that feels too real from the start.
Now, I’m releasing my new album, putting on a show for the paparazzi I usually try to dodge, and falling too fast for a man who never falls for anyone. Every stolen glance, every heated touch blurs the lines between us until I’m wondering where the lies end and the truth begins.
And when a hurricane traps us together in his high-rise condo, all my carefully built walls collapse, and resisting the pull between us becomes a losing game.
Suddenly, the stakes are higher than just headlines, and the risks feel more personal than ever.
But as our past resurfaces and old feelings reignite, I realize the biggest risk isn’t losing my career—it’s losing my heart to the one person I thought would never be mine.
Save Your Breath is book four in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees. They do not need to be listened to in order, but you will gain glimpses of future characters/couples in each book.

Pro athlete/pop star fake relationship
Save Your Breath is the latest installment in Kandi Steiner's Kings of the Ice series. This time around, we have Aleks, who needs a reputation rehab, and his high school best friend, pop star Mia, who also needs to fix the media's opinion of her ahead of her next album release. And so we have a fake relationship between two best friends who have secretly been in love with one another. And the "fake" feelings end up not being very fake at all.
This book was a wonderful slow burn, feel-good romance. There is so much mutual pining between Aleks and Mia, with each of them afraid to tell the other how they really feel. She's afraid of being hurt again, after he turned her down back in high school, and for Aleks, Mia has always been "it." Their story draws upon the rich history between them, and there's this simmering sexual tension that just grows and grows until it combusts.
With a pro athlete MC and pop star FMC, Save Your Breath definitely gives off some Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce vibes. It's pretty low-angst (other than just wanting to scream at Aleks and Mia to get on the same page!) and a feel-good romance that is an easy read. Along with the ebook, I listened to the audio. Talia Wilkerson Grove and Walker Williams are both new-to-me narrators, but I very much enjoyed how they voiced Mia and Aleks.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
