Blurb

I wanted a second chance. What I got was a repeat.

She was too beautiful. Too smart. And her emerald green eyes saw too much.

I wanted space—she took it away.
I craved her lips—she gave me her kiss.
I screwed it up—she got smart.

Avoiding me is the right thing to do. I’m messed up, tortured, and probably always will be.
But I still want her.
Her mind. Her body. Her heart.
I want it all.

And this time, I’m in control.
No matter what I have to do, I will make her mine.

Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Three—Fox.

Review

4.5 stars!

Cold, the second book of the Stone Cold Fox Trilogy, is here. Levi and Ivy’s story continues and it is as addictive as ever. It will knock your socks off!  There is more of everything – more angst, more emotion, more sexual tension, and more twists to suck you in. I easily finished it in one sitting because I couldn’t get enough!

Levi screwed up royally in Stone. He’s dug himself in a hole deep enough that he may never find his way out. Ivy tries to make it through the filming as fast as possible so she can leave the pain Levi’s inflicted on her. She wants nothing to do with him now but he’s willing to do anything to change her mind.

We were two ships passing in the night, and when this was all over, we’d be miles in opposite directions.

Cold is fast-paced, entertaining and it gives us new depth to the story and characters! Levi has grown so much and though change is difficult he is willing to try for Ivy. We get to see a kinder, softer side of Levi and I loved it. Honestly, I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to redeem himself after what he did but he realizes what a total asshole he was and owns his actions. He grovels and shows how actions speak louder than words. I loved that he shows Ivy his insecurities making him human and vulnerable.

With the way I’d been from the very first day she’d arrived in Cold, I was the exact kind of man Ivy Stone should avoid.
But I didn’t want to be that kind of man anymore. I wanted to be the man Ivy would run toward with open arms. The kind of man she could trust and rely on. Someone who only made her feel good and safe and fucking happy.

Ivy was crushed by Levi and her pain and frustration are palpable. She pushes Levi away a little too hard as he is trying to make things right but I understand why she does it and I would have made him work for forgiveness as well. I liked that she recognizes his sincerity and is able to move on from the pain when she realizes who Levi really is and why he acted the way he did even if it was unacceptable.

From the beginning there was something between Levi and Ivy, and no matter how much they want to deny and run from it they couldn’t escape what they were feeling. The chemistry is sizzling and the pent-up sexual tension is unmistakable. You can feel it building until there was nothing else for it to do but explode. And when it does, it’s an inferno.

However, nothing is easy when you bring baggage to a new relationship and we see first-hand the challenges Levi and Ivy face. From the past and the murders, to the movie and the future, there is much that threatens their relationship. Even though Levi opens up to Ivy and we get some much needed answers, there are still so many unanswered questions and theories running through my head. I feel like I am missing a huge part of the story and I can’t wait for more.

Like the first book, this one will take you on an emotional rollercoaster only it kicks it up a notch. There are twists that will surprise you and turns that will devastate you. I was crushed by the way things went down in Stone but now I am gutted by the turn of events in Cold. The cliffhanger is brutal and guaranteed start the waterworks.

Max Monroe – why do you torture us so?! The tears won’t ebb and I am still in shock. Now I am even more desperate to get my hands on Fox to find out how this story plays out. I am not sure I can deal with it all as I am still reeling from the ending of this book and need someone to hold me.
