You will all say I didn't get the point of this series if I keep complaining about the fact that there's such a slow building that it always drives me insane and that it always leaves me cold.

Caressed by Ice is written in third person with moderate amounts of sexual content (not erotically graphic but detailed) and adult wording throughout with a HEA ending. As this world is very different from reality and set in the future, all the series stands up over time, no matter when you pick up these books, it doesn’t feel dated at all, making each story enjoyable for rereading, because we all know we reread our favorites several times! This book came out third, but chronologically the...
