Going for Gold: Sweet Cravings Book 3 is by Ivy Smoak. This book is really cute and deals with the Olympics where off screen, almost everything goes. Condoms are just given away to the athletes. as well as food and drinks. The athletes want to win that gold medal at any cost. They have trained for years to get to this point and won’t give up. Some resort to unethical tactics to win, while others are eager to win on their own merits.

This book was awesome Ivy!! The prank they pulled on the gymnast was priceless. I couldn’t stop laughing. I like the books setting in the Olympics. Keira is on the Us volleyball team and her boyfriend Chris on the Us swim team. While looking at her phone she accidentally walks into the men’s locker room right into this guy. His towel drops and she sees all of his glory. She drops her phone and runs out the locker room. She tells her friend Kristen what happened.They go watch Chris win the gold.

Alina had had worked hard, she had overcome obstacles, heartbreak, and challenges to get to where she was today, and where she was, was the Summer games, desperate to win a gold medal so she could make her dreams come true. What she didn't count on though, was being pitted against her arch nemesis, a woman who had done everything she could to sabotage her. She must stay focused, keep the gold firmly in her sights, but how can she when the hottest hunk at the games keeps staring at her like that?

OH DEAR LORD, this has ending that leaves you hot and bothered and something you would never expect. Alina is sweet and driven, an athlete through and through. Her ex is a POS. Bryce is a sexy, hot athlete, that wants her for all the right reasons. The chaos in this story, is what really put all things into motion. You will not want to stop reading this one. I love Alina and Bryce and when you know you know. Even if it is quick.
Awsome. Hilarious. Sexy.
This book was super funny and sexy.
Its not often that i am reading and i start laughing out loud. I did it so often my husband was wondering what was so funny.
To make the characters come to life to the point that you are laugjing with them is awsome. It makes you feel like your in the story.
Ivy Smoak is absolutley an amazong authour and anything she has written ive enjoyed.
So if its by her you reallt cant go wrong.

Loved the playfulness of Alina and Bryce and the instant connection. It was great seeing a sweet side to both. Struggled waiting for the juicy parts that was the only thing missing but they were such amazing characters it made sense for their story. I definitely wouldn’t mind more though!
Trouble in book form lol
I literally just read all of her books in less than a week’s time. I just couldn’t put them down. Well done

Always keeps us guessing
Usually I can figure somethings out in Ivy’s book but this one had me on edge page after page. She does a great job of drawing us into her story. Alina was not quite the damsel in distress that we normally see and I loved that!

Hilarious
I’m a fan. Her books make me laugh out loud. Great, if eccentric, characters. I have read most of her books, because sometimes you need a good laugh..

Going for Gold was everything you want in a book. It had mystery, action, broken hearts, sex, spice, happy endings, and everything nice. Ivy Smoak sure knows how to pull her readers in and get them hooked. I've read nearly all of her books in the past 3 weeks and can not get enough! Highly recommended!

Hilarious! The pranks are Olympic sized in this steamy novel. The tie breaker for the final gold medal is over the top sexual. Will it get the gold medal or will the go go crying. Ivy is addicting.
