Product Description

Product Description

Even the simplest of touches between Will Frost and Lauren McLean are forbidden.

To share love will surely mean death.

Since her granddad's passing, Lauren has existed a few steps out of sync with the world. Desperate to feel the love only he offered her as a child, Lauren returns to the haven they once shared — a snow-covered cabin at the foothills of the Rockies.

It's not the memory of her granddad that warms her ice-cold, frost-bitten body after being caught in a blizzard, though. It's the man in whose bed she wakes.

Along with bringing life to her soul, Will stirs deep-rooted memories in Lauren and brings out the love she seeks.

What Will knows about himself — the secrets of his kind — he keeps hidden, forcing Lauren to search for answers, to question and ultimately put her life, and his own existence, in danger.

In love, though, there is always a way.

Can Will get around the rules? Or will Lauren give up her life simply to have one last touch from Will Frost?

The story starts with Lauren at her late grandfather's cabin. After hitting a funk in life, she's escaped to her childhood retreat, and is out hiking when a snowstorm blows up. Next thing she knows, she wakes up in a stranger's bed, only that the stranger, a hunky mountain man named Will Frost, seems very familiar somehow. And Lauren is determined to find out why he stirs such feelings within her, even if it means putting her life in danger.

I like Will Frost's character. In fact, I adore him. A handsome, mysterious, rugged stranger possessing immense powers, yet he is reduced to a stuttering wreck in front of the woman he loves, because he fears his secrets would endanger her. How he cares for Lauren and nurses her back to health is sweet, and his talent with charcoal drawing reveals another softer layer to his character. And what can I say? Any story featuring a charismatic animal character is a winner in my books! :) In this case, Will Frost's lynx companion, Calla, steals the show on more than one occasion.

Sadly, I don't feel as much of a connection with Lauren. After a string of failed relationships, she returns to the cabin feeling jaded, and upon feeling Will is "the one," refuses to let him go without a fight. With the latter, her stubbornness and directness with Will belies her strong, willful character, and that I like, yet I couldn't help feeling that the opening scene, where she broods over her lack of love and purpose in life, makes her out to be a bit whiney and woe-is-me. Most of all, I don't appreciate how she treats her supposed best friend, brushing her off when she clearly wants to try and help make her feel better.

One person I'd have liked to learn more about, is Lauren's grandfather, whose influence is present throughout the book. The wood carving of a lynx, the cabin, the suggestion that he may have known of Will... I would've enjoyed it if Adams had elaborated on this kind but absent old man.

All in all, the story is unique and intriguing, and the ending, although predictable, is definitely satisfying. However, I would have liked to have seen more investments in character development.

a very enjoyable way to spend a winter's day 30 Jan 2012
By Danielle C. Smiley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Rating: * * * *

My Review:
This was a wonderful story. Connecting with Lauren was easy; she was very likable. The author has a way of bringing you into the story to where you are experiencing everything as Lauren does. You mourned. You felt the relaxing calm of nature. You froze. And you fell in love. Will was an amazing character. I loved the mystery of him. He was such an intriguing character and his rescuing a lynx cub and raising her endeared him to me immediately.

There were a few things that I thought that could have been better done. Word choice was sometimes an issue for me, despite the authors amazing ability to engulf me in the story. This was especially so for the sex scene. The story was so emotional and I felt the sex scene would've been better done focusing on the emotions. The verbiage fell flat for me here.

Overall, a very enjoyable way to spend a winter's day: cuddled on the couch, cup of hot tea, fire going, immersed in this story.

Cover Art:
What can I say? This is such a beautiful cover! The model is perfect (I like that the story doesn't tell us a lot about what Lauren looks like, but the cover gives us a visual to use) and her blank stare makes you wonder about Lauren's well being. The snow and spectrum of blues hint to the story without giving too much away. The composition is well balanced and the words are easily read. A flawless cover!

Touch of Frost will touch your heart! 23 Jan 2012
By Brenda Demko - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Touch of Frost was an excellent story about the tragedies and possibilities of forbidden love. It takes place in the snow covered rockies. Jocelyn Adams describes the scenery in a way that transports you there. You can easily envision every beautiful detail!

We begin the story with the main character, Lauren, reminiscing about her Grandfather. This is the first time She's been to the cabin that they shared since he passed away. She is sad and missing him terribly. He had been the male influence in her life. She decides to take a hike in the snow like the two of them used to do. She gets caught in a massive blizzard and then rescued by a mysterious mountain man. The story really takes off from there. I could say so much more, but I don't want to give anything away!

This was not just a story, but an emotional adventure. Ms. Adams has an amazing ability to make the story seem personal. You can't help but feel what Lauren feels and she goes through many emotions.

Touch of Frost has everything I look for in a good story. It has adventure, a little suspense, and romance all wound together in a wonderful plot. The characters were believable and the the scenery was breathtaking. I was enthralled with this story from the beginning, till the very end.

I would recommend this to everyone who wants to read a great romance. This is not a story that you read, it's a story that you experience!

I was touched by Frost and I liked it 2 Feb 2012
By Blakely Chorpenning - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Adams definitely knows how to enthrall readers. With little action to propel the storyline, TOUCH OF FROST could have easily melted away into oblivion. However, driven purely by two characters in a small cabin, their combustible lust and love prove momentous. At times I swore I could hear Lauren's heartbeat thrumming faster every time Will glanced her way.

Though Will's character was a tad obscure at times, the majority was loud and clear. If I ever end up in Will's cabin, there's no way either one of us is leaving. *wink, wink*

And, of course, the cover art is fabulous. Between that entrancing stare and a great synopsis, I was hooked, even though I rarely read a love story that doesn't involve weapons, ballsy women, and dead (-ish) things.

Bottom line:
TOUCH OF FROST offers the intense attraction found in TWILIGHT, and a divine heartache paralleling CITY OF ANGELS. Adams' characters resonate. There is a certain serenity achieved in this snowy, isolated world that might leave you as revived as Lauren.

I was touched by Frost and I liked it. ;)
