# Frozen Hearts

I love Riley as a FMC! She is strong, has a back bone but also vulnerable, too. This is a story with twists and turns, angst, and sweet moments.

I absolutely adore Logan - he is the golden retriever of the group and hockey star. He needs Riley’s tutoring help so he doesn’t get benched and he is just gone for her. It makes his turnabout after believing Grayson that much more heartbreaking.

Grayson is Riley’s stepbrother and they haven’t seen each other in 3 years since his world crashed down. He harbors some serious hatred for Riley believing she had a part in his father’s downfall.

Royce aka Ruthless is a cage fighter with some serious brooding. I liked how each MMC had a different introduction to Riley. Each introduction showed the facets of Riley. With Logan, she is shy, hesitant and drawn in by him. With Royce/Ruthless, she is a firecracker and takes no shit. With Grayson, she is almost resigned to his misconceptions but does not bend to his will.

All I can say is the grovel for book two better be epic. Grayson…I don’t know how he can be redeemed. Since Logan knew Riley before he realized she was Grayson’s stepsister, he has a hard time reconciling what he’s been told about her and what he knows. He is the first to become skeptical and as much as he screwed up too, that made me happy.

I can’t wait for the next book! This book had me a such a grip I read it in one sitting.
