Dylan and Sierra basically live on the rink, that is until recently. Sierra is struggling too make her comeback after a scary injury and Dylan got kicked of the hockey team. They decide to work together to achieve their dreams.

In my opinion this is one of, it not the best college romance series out there. It has spice, hilarious banter and emotional moments that tug on your heartstrings. And best of all mature characters that communicate well (for the most part).

I adore the way Dylan made sure Sierra was comfortable every step of the way. Both working together on the ice and in their relationship. They really are a perfect match.

I can’t wait too hear what everyone else has to say about this masterpiece.

3.5 stars. I really liked the characters, found the book very interesting to read, it was an easy read with alot of fun whilst also dealing with serious topics. However I can't give it a higher rating due to the plot, it wasn't a bad plot but it was one I've read so many times before, it wasn't exact, different characters affected, different way of partnership forming, but overall the same plot. I kept waiting and hoping for it to do something different enough but it never did. I did really really enjoy it though. I really liked how this book explored how goals and dreams can change as you grow and figure out who you are. The relationship that formed was sweet and honest and the really supported each other.

Thanks to @netgalley , and the publishers @bloomsburypublishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is absolutely giving Icebreaker vibes and I am here for it!

There's lots to like in the Dalton Universe - the dual POV, the spiciness, the found family. I think this is actually my favourite so far over Collide & Spiral. I think there's a lot of sports romance out here but Bal Khabra's books definitely have a different voice to them and it's refreshing rather than feeling samey.

I thought the mental health representation of Sierra's panic attacks was so well written and one of my favourite elements of the book. The ending was a touch too cliche for me but it did not spoil my enjoyment of the book and I literally zoomed though this because it was such a good read.

Big thanks to Bloomsbury/Netgalley for the eARC.

Another great book from Bal Khabra.
The world of characters all feel developed and like you are becoming part of these characters lives.
The pacing was great with the development feeling natural.
I recommend for romance lovers and especially for ice hockey or figure skating romance lovers (though this leans far more into figure skating than ice hockey).
I look forward to reading Bal’s next book.

There were some slight inconsistencies and a couple of spelling mistakes in the pdf but this may only be this version and when it was transferred over to Kindle.

Revolve was such a heartwarming and surprisingly emotional read! It was full of tender, hilarious and angsty moments and I simply could not put this book down. I absolutely adore the way Bal writes and how easy it is to fall in love with her characters instantly. Dylan and Sierra are such complex characters and although I couldn’t relate to anything they had been through, I felt so deeply for them and couldn’t help but root for a happy ending the whole time Sierras character development was done so well. Seeing her go from being so independent after her accident and not wanting to rely on anyone to trusting Dylan and letting him see her scars was so nice to see and made me love her that much more. Dylan was just the most perfect mmc ever. The way he was willing to change his ways and become more mature after realising he’s not a reckless freshman anymore was so moving and again just made me admire Dylan so much. The things he would do for Sierra was adorable and instantly made me fall in love with him. Not to mention their dynamic and chemistry had me swooning. The build up between them was so good and made this book so binge-worthy. Towards the end it did start feel a little dragged out, especially with the random conflict at the end. It just felt unnecessary, but overall it didn’t ruin my feelings toward this book! Thank you so much for the arc :)

I'll have to give this book another try once it's officially released, I just couldn't get past the formatting of the ARC. That said, the small portion I did read was genuinely entertaining.

Actual Rating: 3.75 Stars

Revolve follows Sierra who was once an Olympic level figure skater and is trying to rebuild her life after a traumatic accident that leaves her without a partner and full of self-doubt and anxiety. Meanwhile, Dylan had just been named captain of his hockey team when everything falls apart—failing a drug test and being suspended. Trying to redeem himself and find to keep his place on the team, Dylan agrees to partner with Sierra for her next figure skating competition... only of course, Sierra is less then thrilled about this partnership.

While this book was good, I didn't enjoy it as much as Spiral. Sierra felt too hot and cold towards Dylan and as soon as it got to the spice, I felt like I started to lost a bit of interest because it was just happening too many times. But I still love their chemistry and their banter, also the fact that Dylan was always there for her. Additionally, I felt like pacing towards the end was off. I won't go into any spoilers but I think some things just felt either out of character or didn't make any sense. However, one thing that I did really like was how well written Sierra's mental health was written and the healing process between Sierra and Dylan.

I do need the next book to be about Kian and Scarlett though! Like hello, coach's daughter and hockey player? give it to me right now.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for a honest review.

I love bal khabra's writing deeply, she has a way with perfect pacing and I couldn't put this down. I would love to see a little more difference in the stories as all 3 bare resemblance aside from the sports/on ice aspect of course, because I no doubt she can do it

This was such a heartwarming story between two college athletes who find each other after coming to a cross roads in their careers. Bal’s signature sports romance never gets old and her characters are always written so beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Sierra and Dylan, and I found Sierra especially empowering.

Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable story, that’s both fun and easy to read.

Bal Khabra knows how to write romance. I devoured this book.

Dylan is my favourite kind of MMC. I love when we have a player who’s secretly just as messed up and insecure as all the rest of us. We saw such great character development in Dylan throughout this book and I really enjoyed seeing how much he loved Sierra.

Plus hockey player turned figure skater…who doesn’t love that?🥰

Sierra is damaged, a bit broken and so so strong and I loved that about her. These two made a perfect pair and I could not put this book down

4⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I had a really fun time with this book! Really loved the characters both individually but also together. Their relationship was so sweet and Dylan was such a good mmc!! Their banter was so well done and I loved the mental health rep!

How cute this was, i had such a lovely time with these impossibly mature college aged characters and the cute building of trust.

Revolve follows the story of Sierra, an ice skater trying to rebuild her confidence and career after a traumatic fall, and Dylan, the hockey team captain who’s forced to confront his own demons after a failed drug test gets him kicked off the team.

While the plot is somewhat predictable, this cosy sports romance shines in its portrayal of emotional resilience, personal growth, and the complexities of family dynamics. Bal Khabra does a great job weaving mental health and second chances into a heartfelt story.

If you enjoyed Collide and Spiral, you’re bound to love this next chapter in the Off the Ice series. It’s another warm, emotionally driven read that fans of the genre will appreciate.

Going a bit full circle here as my first approved book was Spiral and I have been waiting for Revolve ever since...

I wanted so badly to like this one, but I didn’t. With Spiral, I loved the chemistry between our two mains, but as per my previous review, I had issues with some plot points. With this one, I had issues with both. I just couldn’t connect with either characters, and didn’t root for them in the way I would have liked. Our love interest did not make me swoon. He reminded me of a frat boy. And he was, so like you know what, fair, but that isn’t for me anymore. I have had enough of frat boys after spending my early 20s at frat parties. Am I getting old? Maybe.

Will I still continue to read this series? Absolutely. I am weak for a college sport romance. Always will be probably, they are so much fun. This one just didn’t do the trick this time around and that’s fine. I am still excited for the next and will eagerly await it.

I enjoyed this book but it felt very stilted in the overall story. The jump in between chapters felt a bit jarring and the fact it was only over a couple of months made it a little hard to believe all the different events that happened in such a small space of time. I liked both the characters and the side characters were all enjoyable but the story fell a little flat for me.

I couldn’t get into this book, I’m not sure why , it seems like a book I could thoroughly enjoy I couldn’t get my head into it

I really enjoy Bal Khabra’s books, and this one is exceptional. I love the way the author develops the characters, you feel like you really get to know them. This is a fabulous story with just the right amount of spice! Lovely to read and it was so difficult to put down! I already can’t wait for this authors next book!

Dylan has just been named captain of his NCAA hockey team when everything falls apart—he fails a drug test and is suspended. Meanwhile, Sierra is trying to rebuild her life on the ice after a traumatic accident left her without a partner and full of self-doubt. In a bid to redeem himself and reclaim his place on the team, Dylan agrees to partner with Sierra for her next figure skating competition… though she’s far from thrilled about it.

Let me start by saying: I loved the first two books in this series, but I was hesitant going into this one. The hockey player/figure skater trope has never really been my thing, and my last attempt (yes, Icebreaker, I’m talking about you) left me seriously underwhelmed. So, I kept putting this book off—and now I really regret that!

This story is a perfect example of the modern “reformed rake” trope done right. I adored Dylan in the first book and was so excited to see him get his own story. Bal Khabra has a real talent for creating original, layered characters, especially her leading men—so much so that you often forget who you originally shipped them with.

The friendships in this book were a standout for me. And the way trauma is portrayed—deeply personal, sometimes oddly specific—somehow still manages to be entirely relatable. It pulls you in emotionally and makes you feel like you're right there with the characters.

One of the things I appreciated most was how the relationship struggles felt real and grounded. There was no unnecessary “other woman” drama, no overdone third-act breakup—just two flawed people navigating real obstacles. It’s always refreshing when an author avoids those tired clichés.

As always, Bal Khabra leaves me eagerly awaiting the next book. I already have my hopes pinned on a certain character for the next installment, but honestly? Whatever she writes, I know it’ll hit all the right notes and deliver more than I expected.

Tropes:

Figure skater

Reformed rake

Found family

Thanks to the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
“Revolve” is a steamy, emotionally charged sports romance that brings together figure skating and hockey in a way that feels fresh, if a bit tropey at times.
Sierra and Dylan have undeniable chemistry. She's a former Olympic skater battling panic attacks after a traumatic accident, and he's a cocky hockey player on thin ice with his future. Their banter is sharp, their connection electric, and the slow-burn tension on (and off) the ice is a definite highlight.

What I liked:
⛸️The skating scenes were vivid and immersive — I could almost hear the blades on the ice.
⛸️Sierra’s mental health journey was handled with care, and her growth felt genuine.
⛸️Dylan's chaotic energy and emotional vulnerability balanced surprisingly well.

What didn’t fully land for me:
⛸️ Some dialogue felt overly scripted or cliché.
⛸️The pacing dragged a bit in the middle, and the ending felt a little too neat.
⛸️A few side characters felt underdeveloped, though the focus stayed tight on the main duo.

Overall, “Revolve” is a fun, heartfelt romance with an icy edge — perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers and sports settings. While it didn’t completely blow me away, it definitely left a strong impression and had moments of real emotional depth.

This wasn’t for me. It felt LONG, it was a slog to get through the last 50%, and even though I think lots happened it just felt like it was dragging. I wasn’t fussed about the romance, possibly because I didn’t really like either of the MCs.
I suspect if you enjoyed the other books in this series you’ll enjoy this, but unfortunately I didn’t.
