Frozen Heart Face-Off by Siena Trap
5.0
Frozen Heart Face-off begins with the following dedication:
"To all the women who have had to weather the storm."
I knew going in that this book could break me. I am one of the women who I believe Siena Trap dedicated this book to, and I know firsthand that not every version of this story gets the HEA. I want to commend her for writing this incredibly complex and painful story with grace and sensitivity. My husband and I share much of our infertility journey with Evie and Jenner, so emotionally, this book had me feeling very exposed at times. I credit the writing with being able to relate such heart wrenching character arcs without falling into melodrama.
Unexplained infertility is a dream crusher, and while I understand that some people may see Evie as a selfish character early on in the story, I understand too well that pain, and how much it can make you willing to sacrifice to get relief. Her journey throughout this book takes you from the lowest of lows, to the ultimate joy. It feels almost cathartic to see her and Jenner get their HEA, while at the same time that bittersweet ache still lingers for me.
Daddy Jenner is a whole lot of man. He's been all in for Evie since the moment he laid eyes on her in college, and even in their darkest moments, all he wants to do is comfort and protect her from pain. And while he has been incredibly successful on the ice, even through the tumultuous personal issues he's been dealing with, his light shines brightest for me in the spice. He's a protective, cinnamon roll of a man with a deliciously dirty side when it comes to Evie. The way this book had me crying, swooning, and blushing is a thing of beauty.
For all of us who love an emotional ride of a book that's not afraid to tackle the harsh realities of life and love, I highly recommend Frozen Heart Face-Off. I have read The Connecticut Comets series, as well as the previous book in the Indy Speed series, and while it definitely gives some richer background for all of the side characters in this book, I definitely think this book can be read as a stand alone story and still enjoyed.
Thank you to Siena Trap for the ARC opportunity to review this incredible book.
