Review of House of Payne: Ice by Stacy Gail


HOUSE OF PAYNE: ICE

When Atticus “Ice” Eisen strolls back into Sunny Fairfax's life, to say she's not thrilled at seeing him again is an understatement. But, the mask she wears, born of years of keeping her family's secrets, descends back onto her face, and she's able to shut Ice out. But only for an instant, because Ice is determined to have the second chance he feels he deserves with her. His Sunny day may feel differently, but Ice is confident he'll be able to win her over. But it's that supreme confidence that just may turn Sunny off, or is it?


I really liked Ice. Sunny and Ice's story is angsty af, super steamy, and so intriguing and suspenseful. I can't say Ice was my favorite character, or anywhere near one of my favorite heroes, as his confidence and cockiness really grated on my nerves, but I loved Sunny, and how willing to go to the mat for her family she was. I wish Ice had explained to her from the get go why he had hurt her the way he had, it would have gone a long way toward toning down the somewhat too much angst, and it would have made me like him a lot more. As he was written though, he was able to redeem himself by the end, and I was able to give him a pass for hurting Sunny so much before.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
