YUM!  That's what comes to mind when I think of the chemistry between Aidan and Annabel.  Oh, she was a prickly one, but she didn't stand a chance when it came to Aidan's sexy determination to have her.  And that's what drew me the most into this latest romance by Kat Black.

Melting Ms Frost was the story of Annabel Frost.  If I had to sum her up in a few words I would use ball buster.  She was definitely prickly, not letting anyone close, but she had her reasons.  She definitely met her match though when she got a new employee Aidan Flynn.  She was affected by him and he didn't seem to take no for an answer.  And watching the sparks fly between them was legendary.

I really enjoyed this story.  I thought the chemistry between Aidan and Annabel was palpable.  I could just about feel the sparks through my kindle.  

I also really appreciated what the under the surface in Annabel's life.  I really liked her more once I got a glimpse into what formed her opinions about men and relationships in general.  Because of her mom, I don't think she could have ended up any other way.  I'm just happy that Aidan was stubborn.

There were things that I didn't love about the story as well, and that's why it got 4 stars instead of 5.  I had a hard time suspending belief about Aidan's health.  It just didn't ring true for me. I'm not sure why.  And, I just thought Annabel's mother was just way too weak.  She infuriated me so much, I think I wanted her out of the story.

No matter, I still devoured this story and couldn't get enough of Annabel and Aidan.  I can't wait to see what's in store for them in the next book!
