What I’m Talking About:
When the Unseelie King, Iomlan, discovered his favorite lover, Inuit Queen Cikuq, slept with Jack Frost and has been passing off their love child as Iomlan’s, he banished the girl to another planet. Talini has spent 300 years alone on an ice planet, with only two reminders of home, her mahogany bed and her pet fox, Tiktok.
Kian was hired by Jack Frost to find his long-lost daughter. Kian and a small crew have been searching for five long years to find Tal. During this time, Kian has become a bit obsessed with Tal and imagines a little more than just a rescue when he finally finds her.
I enjoyed Kian and Tal together. The pair’s childish verbal sparring is cute and funny. Once the pair gets past the silliness, and Kian is honest with his heart, the pair’s romance becomes touching and their sex is hot. There is a side-story about a soul-angel, which I think is a lot like “soul mates;” however, it was a little strange and confusing.
Rescue and such aside, the ending is sweet. Everything is tied up in a bow like a lovely Christmas package. I enjoyed Kian and Tal’s chemistry, even with the silliness.
Rating: B- Liked It – But I had a few small issues
