He gives her swimming lessons to help rehab her soccer injury.
She times his swims as he trains for the Olympic trials.
Now she wants to be more than friends.
Margot Sinclair had her entire life planned out until the car accident last Christmas. With her D1 soccer career on hold and her goal of going pro, she packed up her dorm room to move home and work with a specialist to heal her injury for good.
Dax Krune has always been successful, from high school swimming to a college scholarship, and now the Olympic trials. Dax expects to spend the holiday training at the rec center a town over, not to rekindle a high school friendship with Margot Sinclair. But, their friendship and common goals become mutually beneficial.
Margot still feels frozen in place. She has never allowed anything to distract her from soccer, but she wonders if her priorities are in all the wrong places. Maybe there’s more for her than just soccer, but will allowing for more room in her life completely derail her dreams?

From my experience reading 'Frozen as Friends,' what truly stands out is how the author beautifully portrays the emotional recovery alongside the physical healing process. Margot's struggle with her soccer injury and the uncertainty about her future felt incredibly relatable, especially for anyone who has faced unexpected setbacks in their athletic careers. The dynamic between Margot and Dax is refreshingly genuine. Their friendship rekindled through swimming lessons and timed swims creates a natural, slow-burn romance that keeps readers engaged without rushing the connection. I loved how their shared goals not only brought them closer but also motivated them individually to pursue their dreams despite obstacles. One memorable element is the playful and candid moments, like their skinny dipping and making lists, which add a lighthearted touch to the story. These scenes humanize them, showing vulnerability and fun, which made me root for their relationship even more. If you are into character-driven stories that combine sports, healing, and romance with a dash of humorous and tender moments, this book will definitely hit the mark. It also highlights the importance of friendship evolving into something deeper when life veers off the planned path. The balance between personal ambition and emotional growth is what makes this novel a compelling read for romantasy and sports romance lovers alike.
