BOOK REVIEW- Frozen In Ice (Ice Breaker Cold Case Romance # 1) by Cynthia Eden

   

Is he a drop dead gorgeous…killer?

Delilah “Lila” Darrow doesn’t belong in the world of the rich and famous, but for one night, she’s going to wear the fanciest dress she can find and pretend that she does. Her plan—get close to reclusive billionaire Archer Radcliffe and find out…is he a murderer?

She knows exactly what Archer likes. She knows how to slip beneath his guard. She knows how to make him fall for her. With the right tools, Delilah believes she can finally make Archer pay for the crime he committed so long ago.

Payback is calling…and she’s wearing a dress made for sin.

Delilah is part of a group of crime solvers called the Ice Breakers—an online team made up of individuals who have the goal of solving cold cases. Five years ago, Delilah’s sister disappeared without a trace. Since then, Delilah has made it her mission to close as many unsolved cases as possible. Archer Radcliffe will be the latest target in her quest.

Except…Archer turns the tables on her. He sees through her lies. Tries to seduce
her. And, he also swears his innocence.

Can she trust him? Or is he playing her?

Now that he has Delilah at his side, Archer can finally get the justice—the vengeance—he has craved. The only problem? The beautiful Delilah will be in danger. But Archer intends to stick close to her. So close that the world will believe they are completely in love. So close that a deadly enemy will want to strike. So close that just maybe—if he’s not careful—Archer might begin to fall for the woman he intends to use…

Author’s note: Archer is rich, powerful, and definitely not a man you want as an enemy. Desire can be deadly, and revenge is always best served ice cold. Looking for danger, suspense, scorching scenes, and maybe even a few cold chills? FROZEN IN ICE has you covered.
4.5 STARS
What a good journey this was.   It kept me involved all the way.  Delilah was one sharp, cunning woman and she starts the story by setting her "trap" to take Archer down in quite the interesting way.  Unusual to say the least but it did what she wanted,  catapulted her into his circle.  She also cracked me up with some of her bold responses to Archer.  She began to not only fascinate him but also somewhat confuse him at times too.  
 The mystery villain is so well done too and once revealed, it was shocking the delusions that the person suffered right down to the end.  Well done author. So was the emotions and Archer's often stoic facial expressions that hid some deep hurts and emotions.  Not a lot of people were in the number that he could really trust.  While Delilah did have some trustworthy people all having her back, who some of them were was a welcome surprise.
I also enjoyed the ending.
