Synopsis

MITCH: Wings. That was the nickname they gave me in the lead-up to the Winter Olympics. I was ready to take home the gold for figure skating, ready to make all my dreams come true . . . all but one . . . the dream of finding love. That dream ended the night I lost the only man I ever wanted. It was a moment that led to my downfall on the ice rink. And so I fled my hometown of Mulligan's Mill, determined never to return. That is until I get the call from Doc Morgan, letting me know that my sister's hoarding habit is getting out of control. Now it seems Mulligan's Mill is calling me back. Is it possible for a fallen hero to find his dignity once more?

GAGE: He was the rising star of the ice-skating rink. I was the captain of the hockey team with my eyes on an Ivy League scholarship. We had everything. Then one night I freaked out, pushed him away, and nothing was ever the same. In the years since Mitch left, my life was turned upside-down by family tragedy. Now, as the sole carer of my niece, I spend every waking hour working part-time jobs. I barely get a minute to think about my shattered dreams, but I still think about him. When I find out that Mitch is returning, the news triggers a wave of excitement and regret. Would I find the courage to talk to him again, or would fear get the better of me just like it did on the night I broke both our hearts?

Let's start off by saying sign me up. I want to live in Mulligans Mill to meet this cast of zany loveable characters! Now, if you're expecting your run of the mill rom com, this is not it. It's so much more. The emotions are palpable. The pain of miscommunication changed the course of these men's li......more

Goodreads review by Chrissi on January 29, 2024

The book is a good example of why I sometimes approach second-chance books with skepticism. 7 years of separation, but they thought about each other every day and never got over it? A romance at 18??? Sorry, I can't take it seriously, even if it sounds very romantic. And then they see each other aga......more

Goodreads review by Fay on January 26, 2024

A fantastic start to the book as Mitch fights some emotions of the memories he wants to forget after he receives a phone call. Mitch, aka Wings was a champion figure skater who crashed at an important event of his career 7 years ago ending his dreams. Now he's in New York catching up on news from hom......more

Goodreads review by J.D. on December 01, 2025

The Invention of Wings by Robin Knight is a sweet M/M romance between a former Olympic figure skater, Mitch, and a former ice hockey captain, Gage. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, but I was disappointed by the lack of any figure skating in it. I am still on the hunt for books that heavily featur......more
