Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

For 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.

Review

Add best friend turned love interest, Kyler Quinn, to the list of swoon-worthy book boyfriends because he definitely fits every criteria and then some. He is so protective of Sydney, he puts her above everyone else including himself. And they can start a fire with the heat between these two. There is a bit of skinny love going on between the two best friends which they had thought was unrequited at first. Their dynamic starts getting a little rocky right when they leave for their trip, and even more so during and afterward. But soon their walls break down and the truth about their feelings for each other slips out. All the while surviving a brutal Nor'easter and someone who is out to kill them for bitter revenge. It's no easy feat for them to save their friendship, so working on getting back to the way things used to be or persuing a relationship is quite a challenge for these two. They say trips changes things, and Sydney and Kyler find out how.

Sydney's mom was hilarious, even over the phone. My mom and I's relationship is similar to Sydney's and her mom's relationship. I, like Sydney, am studying Psychology and whenever my mom and I are on the topic, she always mistakes it for therapist or psychiatrist just as Sydney's mom has. The conversations between them had me laughing tears, it sometimes took me a while to come up for air.

Frigid has romance, a ton of snow, one hilariously drunk Sydney moment, steamy bedroom scenes, mystery, and suspense to stir things up. The only thing missing was an epilogue. I would love see a bit more of where Sydney and Kyler ended up in their lives together. If Frigid 2 isn't about them, I'm guessing it'll be about their friends Andrea and Tanner. If you like a light read filled with romance and suspense in equal measure with an easy flow and a steady pace, this book is for you.
