The Verdict: A Top-Tier Sports Romance That Sets a High Bar
Let’s address the elephant in the room: yes, this book is spicy. The title Mile High isn't just a clever pun; the tension between Stella and Zane crackles from their very first interaction. The physical scenes are written with Tomforde’s signature style—steamy, emotional, and deeply connected to the character's growth.
However, the real romance happens in the quiet moments. It’s in the way Zane learns to read Stella’s silence. It’s in the way Stella allows herself to be vulnerable with someone who could jeopardize her career. The transition from "enemies with a professional barrier" to "partners who would burn the world for each other" is seamless. Mile High By Liz Tomforde Vk
1. Body Positivity and Representation
Unlike many romance novels where heroines are conventionally petite or athletic, Stevie is a plus-size woman who owns her curves but struggles with the world’s perception of her. Tomforde doesn’t fetishize or ignore her size; instead, she places Stevie’s self-acceptance at the core of the plot. Zanders’ attraction to her isn’t despite her body—it’s because of her confidence, humor, and strength. Their intimate scenes are tender, communicative, and refreshingly realistic.
Mile High by Liz Tomforde is more than just a sports romance; it’s a story about looking past the surface and finding someone who sees the real you. Whether you’re a die-hard hockey fan or just someone who loves a good "enemies-to-lovers" journey, this book is a must-read. Review: Mile High (Windy City Series #1) by
