When Kate Finley falls through some thin ice, she never expected to find herself face to face with Jack Frost, let alone married to him. Afraid of commitment, marriage and love, Kate finds a loophole with Jack that allows her to come back to her world. She's unaware that her separation from Jack has dire consequences, until she finds herself in Denver right before the Winter Solstice and once again face to face with Jack. Can Kate trust in herself and Jack while letting go of the past?
This was a really cute story about finding a second chance at love. The author didn't spend a lot of time on the fairy tale aspect of the story, but instead focused on the emotional connection between Jack and Kate. They both had their own emotional short-comings to get over in order to get their relationship on solid footing, but they were finally able to get there.
A satisfying read and a cute twist on the story of Jack Frost.

3.5 to 4 stars
Quick, cute read. Kate had a few character inconsistencies, but they didn't drive me totally nuts. Ending resolution was too easily won, but the pacing was steady and the characters were likable.

That. What the hell was THAT? Completely out of left field a wonderfully perfectly structured little modern fairy tale retelling when I least expected it. Just a lovely way to cap an otherwise dreary day. Brava, Ms Sparrow. Brava.

I have to start this review off by saying I'm really picky with romances. There are some things I can't stand in a romance and there are also things I have to have in a romance read. This book was pretty much an okay read for me - it had a lot of problems in my opinion, but it also had its moments.
It was mostly the characters that threw me with Frosted. Jack Frost had a lot of potential as a character - he was complicated and mysterious, but while he had loads of depth, he wasn't developed enough to keep me interested in the end. I had a similar problem with Kate. I understood where she was coming from in her decisions but it just wasn't there for me. There wasn't enough of a justification for leaving Jack in the first place when I couldn't understand why she felt the way she did - it didn't go deep enough for me. Kate's excuse is her family life making her into an incredibly independent woman who doesn't trust enough to commit to a relationship - but in the story she already mentioned she loved Jack from the beginning. The problem was that I felt I hadn't gotten to know her well enough before the story ended.
Another problem was that I found the plot really cliché. Sometimes it can come across as charming but in this case it was a little overwhelming. I knew what was going to happen from the first few pages of the book so, of course, I felt there wasn't much point in reading on in that case.
However, what I did like about this read was that the interactions between Jack and Kate were really sweet. Every time they were brought together Jack would say or think things that would make my heart melt and wish that someone would say these things to me. Part of reading a romance novel I think!
It was also an incredibly quick read. That's not always a good thing and I would have liked to get to know the characters better but it was still an entertaining read. You can literally finish it in an hour if you're a quick reader.
