2.75-3⭐

Ummm. I liked the first couple of chapters… and the last couple of chapters. I hated everything else in between.

Brooke and Taushen as a couple were just not it for me. I think it’s mostly because of Brooke. I didn’t enjoy the miscommunication aspect of their relationship, in general, but she was kind of dumb and infuriating with her contribution to it. Like, bffr Brooke- you were very clear to Taushen at the beginning about how you were not interested with your words but when you changed you mind you suddenly FORGET HOW TO COMMUNICATE?!? Dumb. I hated it. And I hated how she was getting annoyed with Taushen not getting her hints.

Poor Taushen was just trying to respect her verbalized wishes the whole time.

And, previously, I was all for the innuendos when it came to Summer and Warrek talking dirty with chess. But Brooke and Taushen using I-Spy and then making it dirty? Nope. Hated that too.

I did LOVE the last few chapters and how it opened the doors for all the stories in the Ice Home series though 😊 And leave it to Liz to show up with her hilarious commentary that I adore. (I feel like I will like Hannah a lot whenever her story shows up as well)

TWs: for non-con in the beginning of the book.
