This series is one that kind of snuck up on me. I
find dark romance really hit and miss but so far everything I've read from this
author has been a hit. I couldn't wait to see the story of Winter and Asher
unfold. I have loved everything about their tension in the previous books and
this just made me like them even more.
Winter has always been the ultimate ice queen and I
honestly had this picture in my head that the banter between Winter and Asher
was left over sexual tension from a previous encounter. And so, I started this
book not expecting the animosity to be so strong. Learning where it had come
from and seeing it for what it really was had me loving both characters.
Asher was just coming back into his role as an ice
god. But he was still his normal confident, self-assured self. Whereas Winters
confidence was all a facade to cover her insecurity and fears.
Asher and Winter came together in a way that I
wouldn't have expected. And the things I was expecting to be issues weren't.
Which was lucky because there was so much that I wasn't expecting going on that
I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what's next from this author.

Meet Mila Kane
I'm
obsessed with cats, coffee, and anti-heroes just the right side of insane.
I write dark and dirty romance with the alpha-holes of your most filthy
nightmares.
While I like my heroes obsessed and powerful, I like my heroines smart and
independent. My headstrong, capable women will bring their own personal demons
to their knees, and capture their hearts at the same time.
I only write SAFE stories, there is never a place for another woman in my
heroes sights, once he's caught the scent of the heroine, and there will always
be, no matter how dark and twisted the story might be... a HEA guaranteed.

I can't even describe how quickly I've fallen under
the spell of this author. I picked up one book on a recommendation and then
ended up binging a few and adding more to my TBR. Then I had to wait for this
one. I read the blurb and it kind of confused me. Then I had to wait for this
to land on my kindle and I sort of forgot all about the ice gods and the
premise of this book.
So when I started reading this I was expecting the
situation the blurb describes, then as I started reading it all came flooding
back. I remembered the weird tension between Beckett and Eve from the previous
book. And then I was so invested in everything going on with these guys that I
couldn't care if the blurb was a picture of a squirrel with an oversized
scrotum.
Every time Beckett thought of himself as broken, I
kept hearing pink sing “we're not broken just bent” and I don't think it ever
fit a character more. My heart bled for Beckett and everything that he had
lived through and the way it had been used against him. I can't even imagine
how alone he must have felt. But Eve was the perfect fit for him.
Eve was one of those characters that I want to
shake. She was so perfect and yet her insecurities made her feel so lacking.
Thankfully Beckett was there to show her how perfect she was and spoil her like
the princess she deserves.
This story had so much going on, with so many
different people I was obsessed. I hated having to put it down to adult and I
am absolutely dying to get the rest of the ice gods books. I cannot wait to get
my grabby hands on Asher and Winter. But right now, I'm off to stalk the back
catalogue and load up my kindle for the next time I can binge them.
So,
it’s not really a secret that my reading tastes have become a little on the
wussy side over the years. Every now and then I look back over the books I’ve
read and realise just how drastically my reading tastes and my reading style
has changed. But the thing is I still want to read some of those books that I
used to devour I just always feel like I need to be in the right head space and
to be honest with a houseful of kids running around along with a handful of
adult or mostly adult kids my head space can change on a dime.
Then
you have the fact that the books labelled as dark, and bully can vary so
drastically and the things that I like in those books are hard to discover when
just reading the blurb and warnings and tags. So, I tend to steer away as I
would rather read a book I’m pretty much guaranteed to like rather than read a
book I hate and can’t review fairly because it’s my own personal preference as
to why it didn’t work for me. Then a book like this comes from left field. Like
seriously never heard of the author or the book but while looking for a
different book spotted a teaser and had all my kinks jump out at me and make me
instantly one click it. Plus, it’s a KU title so bonus.
From
the first page I was so in. Lily was so sweet and drove herself so hard to be
perfect without realising the only one putting that pressure on her was
herself. But she was no push over either. She had grown up in such a safe and
loving and perfect family and place that she knew her own worth and knew she
was safe even when she was picked on by the queen bees. Plus, she had an
awesome friend who had her back. But then we meet Cayden and suddenly the story
just grabbed hold even tighter.
Cayden
was a character that I can kind of relate to and I swear I read half of this
book with tears in my eyes. His actions are so understandable when you see the
trauma he has lived through and having his point of view and knowing how he
felt made me love him so much. Even if I wanted to slap him for his self-sabotage
and tell Lily that she deserved more I couldn’t help but want her to stand up
and push back and see where his actions came from. And the fact that Lily
didn’t let him walk all over her but that she did forgive him and see past his
front made her the perfect match.
I
literally couldn’t be happier that I picked up this book even if I did it on a
whim. And now I’m going to go beg for the next one. Oh, and I need to know more
about Nikolai and see if I can see if my big girl panties can handle that now.
Toodles.
