16122034For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn’t anything new. They’d been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the ‘man’ in man-whore. He’s never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn’t want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she’s perfect and she’s everything. But the feelings he has for her, he’s always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they’re stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor’easter, there’s nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

 

This month I went through like a week long phase where I wanted to read nothing but mushy new adult romances, and my target was J Lynn, also known as Jennifer L. Armentrout. I suck….I haven’t been trying out much books in the New Adult genre. I don’t know if I’ve really read any until now. They make me nervous, okay! When I think New Adult, it almost makes me thing of teen pornish stuff. I was wrong. I admit it! I was wrong. Please stop yelling at me now. New adult is definitely more sexy and…well…steamy…but it’s with adults! Honestly, little kids and younger teens probably shouldn’t be reading this stuff. I’m not for book censorship, but I definitely think that adults should take an interest in what their kids are reading. Back to the point, though, I was like obsessed for a week with new adult books. I’m highly anticipating another week full of smut, but I have no idea which New Adult author to try out next /= Frigid wasn’t as good as Wait For You, but I was still obsessed with it, and I had it finished in less than 48 hours. The characters were lovable (for the most part), the plot was definitely interesting AND steamy, and the writing was amazing. On the downside, the ending wasn’t that great, and, once again, the female character bugged me!

I don’t know how Armentrout does it, but ALL of her male characters are amazing. I don’t care what book it is, I always fall in love with her male characters. Kyler was hunky, fit, smart, sexy, caring, loyal, honest. He was everything that I could possibly ask for in a guy. It made it that much better that Kyler and Syd had been best friends their whole lives. I mean…come on. What girl out there doesn’t dream about falling in love with her best friend? It was just too cute! On the downside, Syd wasn’t my favorite character. Armentrout might create brilliant male characters, but I have never fallen in love with ANY of her female characters. They all turn out whiney, dramatic, and way too innocent. I want to see Armentrout create some fabulous kick ass female character. Not someone who is about to break apart at the drop of a pen.

Everything in this book was amazing and addicting except for the ending. Like in Wait For You, the ending tanked. It was too predictable and wayyyyyyy overdramatic. Whenever I start a contemp book of Armentrout’s, I usually know what’s going to happen at the end of the book by like the first 3 chapters. Just because you write contemporary does NOT mean that it has to be so predictable. Add a little twist! Do something that readers won’t expect! Yes, contemporary books help readers relate to reality, but having such a predictable ending almost makes me feel like the author think I’m stupid. Just do something a little out of the norm for once!

Even though the ending wasn’t that great, I did love the book. Not as much as other books that Armentrout has written, but I did enjoy it. Not to mention that Kyler was just too amazing to pass up. I was a big fan of this book!
