Summary
When you spend your life at the top, there's only one direction you can go.
Pro alpine skier Aspen Archer's downfall happened in the worst possible way - a career-ending crash on a gold medal run at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Aspen packed up her broken life, picked up her broken body, and now hides in comfortable obscurity at ski resorts around the world, coaching tourists and ignoring her problems.
Cate Tierney knows who Aspen Archer is, but the last place she expected to meet the former Olympian was during a ski trip to Australia. Hurt by a past relationship, and with a teenage daughter to protect, Cate's initial reluctance is quickly overcome by her intense attraction. But with Cate's vacation ending in a few short weeks and Aspen's aversion to staying in one place, can their encounter be anything more than a fling?
When Cate discovers Aspen's secrets, Aspen is forced to face everything she'd been trying to forget. And everything she'd forgotten she wanted. Aspen already knows the route from start to finish doesn't always go as planned. Now she needs to figure out how to get herself back on course for good.

highly recommended
My 2nd E J Noyes book and I already bought a third, excellent writing that draws you in and makes you care about the characters . Aspen is my favourite character and I love her flaws are woven in you as the reader go a journey with her as she comes to term with aspects of life.
I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend Gold to anyone who likes romance with great characters and character development
Abby Craden narration was the brilliant and really gelled together perfect with EJ Noyes writing style

Great story with believeable characters
EJ Noyes is a skilled writer and has written an engaging story. She convey's the complex emotions of the characters without overdoing it too much. My heart went out to Aspen, overcoming her difficulties made the story especially moving.
Abbey Craden is good at vocally differentiating between the characters, which makes the story easy to follow in audiobook format. Her somewhat irritating style of speech is improved by upping the narration speed of the audiobook, which you can do on Audible.

Good character development
I know there are no murders etc which is usually how lesbian romances play out, but in this story, it is about the characters themselves, their development, and frustrations with their lives, and that was interesting.

An Avalanche Of Emotions!
I don't think it's possible for me to quite articulate how amazing this book is. The storyline, the complex wonderful characters, the narrator, everything about this audiobook is phenomenal!
E.J Noyes is one of my favourite novelists, she has the ability to make the reader feel a 1000 different things all at once. Combine that with the exceptional Abby Craden and you will find yourself a blubbering, laughing, sweaty mess.
The characters in this story are so complex and so real that it makes everything feel more intense than any other book I've read. I adored E.J's "Ask, Tell" series, especially the "If I don't ask" book. However, I've never been in the army nor do I know anyone that has been in the army. So, certain aspects of it, although heartbreaking, I wasn't able to connect with it fully. This book, on the other hand, felt very real and personal to me.
I saw myself in both leading ladies and know what it's like to try and overcome real world trauma that doesn't always have to be associated with an actual war. Sometimes, the worst kind of trauma a person can face is a war that wages inside a person soul and E.J Noyes manages to capture that battle perfectly in this fantastic book!

great story
I loved the growth as they navigated their attraction, dealing with their demons. Full rounded characters. And brilliantly written sex scenes.

The narration
Review left at 3am because I haven’t been able to stop listening to this book. The storyline is beautiful and how the characters interact with each other is to die for. The narration is the best I ever heard. I am now in love with the characters. Couldn’t stop blushing. Great work
