Review: Butterfly in Frost

Butterfly in Frost by Sylvia Day

My Review

I wish i could say i enjoyed this, i really do.

It is well written. The plot moves well. The characters have good chemistry and have a way of meeting that almost hits you like a speeding car.

Unfortunately, it cuts a bit to close to home for me and sadly, many moments of it left me reeling. 

You see the premise is of a woman suffering with depression, and a man who has lost a child. Having been through such a thing myself, it is difficult to enjoy, even though the situations were different. Also, having been through it first hand, the empathy and strong feeling of the male lead were somewhat in contradiction to my own stony isolation. Then again, we all handle personal tragedy differently so don't mind me. 

The ending also through me somewhat. You see, you're never actually told where the heroine's  depression stems from but it is suggested it's due to her recent divorce. This is thrown out the window by the ending and it's all so hastily done, it just leaves me wondering WTF?.

That being said, a good read, but rather lacking on the steamy scenes that made Bared to You so memorable. It does have them, but they're few and far between.

Blurb

A Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestseller.

From #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Sylvia Day comes a hotly anticipated and passionate new love story.

Once, I would never have imagined myself here. But I’m settled now. In a place I love, in a home I renovated, spending time with new friends I adore, and working a job that fulfills me. I am reconciling the past and laying the groundwork for the future.

Then Garrett Frost moves in next door.

He’s obstinate and too bold, a raging force of nature that disrupts the careful order of my life. I recognize the ghosts that haunt him, the torment driving him. Garrett would be risky in any form, but wounded, he’s far more dangerous. I fear I’m too fragile for the storm raging inside him, too delicate to withstand the pain that buffets him. But he’s too determined…and too tempting.

And sometimes hope soars above even the iciest desolation.

Emotional and heartrending, Butterfly in Frost marks a brilliant return by global sensation Sylvia Day, the #1 international multimillion bestselling author of the Crossfire saga.
