About the Book:
Montgomery is the perfect billionaire’s fiancé.
Or she would be, if she existed.
A dark past. A smile that hides everything. At nineteen, Rae Grove escapes her
disaster life by pretending to be other people—specifically, whoever the man
paying her that night wants her to be.
Until she’s offered enough money for a one-way ticket to a better life. All she
has to do is fly to Paris and pretend to be the fiancé of young business tycoon
Cohen Ashworth for one month. Within an hour of meeting Cohen, Rae knows three
things about him:
1. He hates everyone and everything.
2. He has abundant wit and a knife-sharp tongue.
3. He uses 2 to make everyone aware of 1.
Before long, Rae’s determined to crack open his unbreakable shell. Cohen’s
determined to stay unbroken.
But no one escapes unscathed when two opposite worlds collide.
My Review:
Lessons’ and ‘James Games’ where very enjoyable books so I was totally looking
forward to reading ‘Icy Pretty Love’.
hates. When Rae gets the opportunity to get a lot of money pretending to be a
rich guy’s fiancée, she immediately decides to take the job. With the money Rae
earns for this job she can finally start over and leave her miserable life
behind. But soon Rae finds out that this job isn’t going to be as easy as she
first thought. Sure, she is in Paris but the rich guy is Cohen Ashworth, a guy
with an reputation to be an all-people-hating-guy. But after Rae spends a
little time with him she slowly starts to believe that there is more to the
billionaire than meets the eye. And soon Rae starts a quest to make Cohen a
nicer person.
Love’ is a book you get pulled in immediately. The writing is fast paced,
romantic and at times incredibly funny. I seriously laughed out loud a few
times (made my boyfriend look at my funny, HAHA). ‘Icy Pretty Love’ is kind of
a ‘Pretty Woman’ sort of story but it definitely has his own thing. I just
loved it and read it in one day.
romantic. I loved the chemistry between Rae and Cohen. They are two very
different people, and if it hadn’t been for this arrangement they would have
never met. I mean Cohen would definitely not have looked at Rae if they met
differently.
definitely Rae. Her life has been very hard on her, and although you never
really find out what happened to her to become what she is today, I thought she
was a very brave person. I loved how stubborn she was and how she kept rambling
at Cohen, even though he really didn’t seem to be listening at first. I loved
how she saw the good in Cohen, even though everyone told her it would be
pointless.
just a perfect book for a rainy Sunday. If you’re a fan of romance novels this
is definitely one for you. There are some light sexy scenes but nothing to
sexy. This book definitely gets my recommendation.

I’m very familiar with that shadow in his voice, because it’s been in my heart
for years. Self-loathing. At least I can escape myself by being other people.
He doesn’t even have that luxury.

perfect lips.

not-quite-recovered romance addict. She’s a big believer in laughter as
