Ice (House of Payne, #8)
by
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.
