I've always enjoyed this author's more fanciful novels, and this certainly fits the bill. It's an amalgamation of Jack Frost mythos, combined with a soulmates story and it works for the most part. The writing sincere and the characters are worthy.
I just thought the tension lagged a bit in the middle to the point that I thought about giving up, but once I realised what was going to happen, I was reinvested enough to keep on reading.

Frost by [a:Jaclyn Osborn|13856506|Jaclyn Osborn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1500392888p2/13856506.jpg] is the love story of the mythical Jack Frost and human Luka Summers. (Sidenote: I love their surnames)

Being the personification of all things winter has its perks but it can also be lonely. Jack is immortal; meaning he was to watch the mortals he love pass. He has this at the forefront of his mind when he meets Luka, but he can't fight the connection between them.

The majority of Frost takes place in a snowy cabin in the woods. It provides the perfect backdrop for Luka and Jack's love to bloom. Although, Jack's ice cave does not seem even remotely comfy, for Luka at least

Hoje foi o dia que fazer essas reviews valeu a pena. Queria uma "base de dados" p/ lembrar melhor dos livros e autores que tenho lido pra não me perder tanto e me guiar melhor nas próximas leituras.

Há um mês li um romance contemporâneo da Jaclyn Osborn que não me prendeu nada. Era o primeiro de uma série que abandonei fácil fácil.
Aí ontem Frost apareceu pra mim na aba de romendações do Goodreads (e mais uma vez sou muito grato a esse site) e eu resolvi ler pq amo o Jack Frost. Só depois me dei conta de que já tinha lido algo da Osborn (pq vi nas minhas reviews) e fiquei chocado – no bom sentido – pq Frost é incrivelmente superior.
Comecei achando que seria ridículo porque a ideia de um romance gay contemporâneo com o Jack Frost como MC parecia piada, mas não é que deu certo?
De primeira o relacionamento entre os dois MCs foi meio insta-love e meio ... inquietante? confuso? no começo, mas o feeling não durou muitas páginas. Ela soube desenvolver muito bem tudo. A escrita mto linda ajudou demais, o que me deixou meio confuso porque os dois livros que li dela têm só alguns meses de diferença. Acho que o que explica é que Frost envolve mitologia grega (assim como vários outros livros da autora) e, pelo visto, mitologia looks good on her.
Também me incomodei um pouco com algumas dúvidas que ficaram no final do livro. Coisas que seria legal saber, mas não interferem com a ideia geral da história. Se eu fosse uma pessoa que economiza estrelas nos ratings das minhas reviews o livro não levaria 5 estrelas, mas só pelo amor que essa mulher conseguiu narrar meti ★★★★★ sem pensar duas vezes. Já to com saudade desse livro.

Com certeza meu TBR vai incluir muita Jaclyn Osborn a partir de hoje [mas por favore evitar romance contemporâneo].

This story was amazing! It's been a while that I couldn't see pages anymore through my tears.. Even though not much happens in this story, it's all about Jack and Luka's magical love story and that's more than fine. I agree with some that it may seem like obsession at first but the way it grows into something so beautiful.. I love soulmates, true love.
