About this listen

AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

He’s on edge while she’s en pointe in this fake-dating sports romance from the author of the smash hit Collide.

Elias Westbrook, a newly drafted hockey player for the Toronto Thunder, is facing the challenges of fame and media scrutiny. With a growing fan base and too many expectations on his shoulders, he’s struggling to make his first career goal. The tabloids are reporting on his every move, including which woman he was last seen with, but all he wants to do is escape the spotlight.

Enter from stage left Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina with dreams of joining the Aurora Ballet Theatre, but her lack of popularity online leaves her at a major disadvantage for securing the lead role. When Sage finds herself with the perfect opportunity to make her dreams come true by fake dating Elias, she takes her shot.

Soon enough, the flimsy fake-dating rules they set in place fall away in the face of their sizzling connection. But before things spiral out of control, Sage and Elias will have to decide if they’re willing to take the leap together or if they'll call it quits.

What the critics say

“Bal Khabra is a master of banter, swoon, and lovable characters. I dare you to try and read one of her novels in more than one sitting—they're simply unputdownable."—Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out on a Limb

Spiral is fake dating goodness filled with delicious tension and overwhelming tenderness. These two had me kicking my feet.”—Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny

“Khabra’s skillful portrayal of her characters’ personal struggles and their growing bond makes for an engaging read that goes beyond the typical sports romance formula. Thanks to its well-paced narrative and ample steamy moments, readers will find themselves engrossed in this hockey-meets-ballet romance.”—Library Journal

DEFINITELY A WINTER READ

4.5/5⭐️
2.5 🌶️

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW! 🩷

The audiobook felt almost perfect! I KNOW DON’T HATE ME! I would say it’s 4/5 stars for the audiobook! I honestly felt that Aaron was fantastic, you could feel he connected with Elias’s character! In terms of Nia Serge, I loved her narration work but I will say I wish we felt more with her! It almost felt like there was a tiny distance between her and Saje. But the story was fantastic for both characters and their development both separately and together! I honestly believe a Duet style narration would have worked perfectly here and could make it a 4.75/5 ⭐️. But either way still an amazing book and such a good rating!

PHYSICAL REVIEW🩷

I absolutely adored this book! It was just as incredible as Collide! I only wish I could’ve finished it faster, but let’s blame that on school! Elias and Sage’s journey was everything—I loved their chemistry and how naturally their story unfolded. The pacing was smooth and seamless, never feeling forced or unrealistic.

Speaking of unrealistic… let’s just say their connection was anything but fake! From their very first interaction, the spark between them was undeniable. Elias is such a sweetheart, always willing to protect Sage, but what makes their relationship so special is that she truly sees him for who he is.

Sage was an absolute firecracker—witty, flirty, and bursting with confidence (which I love in a leading lady). And then there’s Elias, our soft-hearted, shy, and reserved hockey player. Having a male lead in sports romance who isn’t cocky, arrogant, or full of ego was such a refreshing change—one I didn’t realize I needed!

Their dynamic? Absolute perfection.

This book was so overdue! I needed this sooo much sooner but I am so glad it finally got released and I read it! It was a great way to end January of 2025!
