Publisher Description
For Caroline Saunders, beauty is a curse. Everywhere she goes, she is surrounded by men who worship her. But Caroline knows none of them could ever love her just for herself.
She treats her court of suitors with cool disdain, gaining herself the title of the Ice Queen.
After an ugly altercation with an insistent suitor, Caroline decides it is time to escape the crowded ballrooms of London.
With a heart scarred by his parent's disastrous marriage Julian Palmer, Earl Newhall has been in no particular hurry to take on a wife. But men with titles need heirs.
He reluctantly agrees to allow his aunt to arrange a week-long party at his Derbyshire estate. A handpicked group of eligible young women and their chaperones will be in attendance.
When a sudden heavy snowstorm stops all but one carriage from making the journey to Newhall Castle, Julian decides he should make the best of a bad situation.
However, matters turn from bad to worse when he discovers that it is Caroline Saunders who has arrived wet and freezing cold on his doorstep in the middle of the night.
The Ice Queen is the one woman in all of London society he knows he could never be prevailed upon to marry, let alone love.
But when Newhall Castle becomes Caroline's only place of sanctuary, Julian quickly discovers that beneath her icy demeanor there beats a passionate heart.
Two stubborn souls come together in this beautiful tale of enemies to lovers.

Very good romance
This is book 7 in the Duke of Strathmore series by Sasha Cottman. I enjoyed this book. I felt is was a bit too long. However, I love enemies to lovers tropes and this one had some great laugh out loud moments. Caroline is the perfect frosty ice queen and Julian Palmer is a great combination of hunk and sometimes jerk. Loved it. Looking forward to more
Silly
A little silly. Could have been better. Girl said whatever she wanted. Told her mother. Crude. Maybe .99 cents. Not worth the $4 charged.
A GREAT AND ENJOYABLE READ!
There is so much more to a person than their looks! The Ice Queen is book 7 in The Duke of Strathmore series and what a great series. Though in a series this story can be read as a standalone. I found this story of enemies to lovers a true delight. The story is original and so very creative and It was simply a joy to read. Sasha has a way of building such wonderful and lovable characters and she can really write great evil characters as well. Her descriptions give you a real feel for the regency era. This story has an evil mother, coldness, being rude, realizing a change is needed, kindness, schemes, a house party, injury, hurt, a forced betrothal, protection, misunderstandings, scandal, acceptance, hesitance and falling in love. I highly recommend this book!
