The Duke of Ice by Darcy Burke
3.0
In the seventh Untouchles book, we have a second chance romance between former lovers Violet and Nicholas. Violet's parents refuse to let her be with Nicholas due to his low place in society, and forces her to marry another cruel and uncaring man. Several years later, the two meet again at a party, both now widows and very different. Nick is now known as The Duke of Ice, for being cold, distant and rude, and Violet slowly starts to realise that the old Nick is still there behind the exterior, and swears to help him through his trauma and get back to his true self.
This wasn't a favourite of mine in the series, but it was still better than some of the others. Nick was a little frustrating towards the end, just because his rude behaviour was so prolonged and got old pretty quickly. Violet was such a patient and caring woman, and thus the pair fit together perfectly, and the angst was off the charts. A good edition to the series. I am super excited for the next book, because Simon was one of my favourite parts of this book!
