I wanted a second chance. What I got was a repeat.She was too beautiful. Too smart. And her emerald green eyes saw too much. I wanted space-she took it away.I craved her lips-she gave me her kiss. I screwed it up-she got smart. Avoiding me is the right thing to do. I’m messed up, tortured, and probably always will be.But I still want her. Her mind. Her body. Her heart. I want it all. And this … mind. Her body. Her heart.
I want it all.
And this time, I’m in control.
No matter what I have to do, I will make her mine.
Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Three-Fox.

Wow!!!!! That’s really the only word that can completely describe how I felt the entire time I was reading Cold.
This second book in the trilogy pretty much picks up where Stone left off and CANNOT be read as a standalone. I have yet to read a book by this duo that I haven’t absolutely loved so I think it’s 100% worth to jump on this trilogy. It’s suspenseful, hot, and intense. I’m counting down the days until I can have Fox in my hands!!!!
*This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*
Another stunning story in this series. You just never know what is going to happen in this series and it really keeps you turning the page. After reading Stone you thought the story was going one direction and then while reading Cold you realized you were wrong. Ivy has a hard time dealing with Stone kissing her twin sister Camilla and is not dealing with it well. Levi knows he was wrong with what he did and he knew it as he was doing it but he had been closed off since the murder of his friend & partner Grace that he didn’t know how to deal with the feelings he was having. Levi does a good job of trying to be open and make up for what he did to Ivy but she still has anger towards him.
The ending will leave in in shock and clamoring for the final book, Fox. This whole series has been a departure from the usual story that Max Monroe writes but wow have they done an awesome job! Everyone needs to read this book/series. It is fabulous!
I thought I was going to kick the bucket, WAITING impatiently for Cold to release after reading Stone. But, NOW….now I’m putting my life on hold, closing the drapes on all my windows, and living off of simple foods like licorice and dry cereal, until the time comes when Fox gets here. Do you hear that Max & Monroe?…I’m subjecting myself to misery. All because of YOU. That’s right…this is all YOUR fault. Because after the EPIC cliffy you just left me with, MISERY loves company, and that company is ME.
Seriously…HOW am I going to function now after reading this book? HOW?!? I just….I can’t even….I want….I NEED FOX RIGHT NOW!!! **hysterical sobs of desperation**
This book…MY GOD, this book gutted me, played around with my innards like a child’s play-thing, and haphazardly put me back together again. The sadness, the pain, the heartbreak, the SUSPENSE….y’all take pleasure in torturing us, I just know it!
To say this series is a must-read is like asking if bears sh*t in the woods. It’s a no-freaking-brainer. With that said, if you haven’t picked up this book yet, or Stone for that matter, DO. IT. NOW. Do it. Read them, then come join me in my pit of despair. I’ll share my food, I promise.
5+ Stars!

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
Firstly, please excuse me while I go and throttle Max and Monroe for that ending…
Ok, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way….holy cow! This book was amazing. I truly love this trilogy and the characters.
After the ending in the first book, I was wondering how things would play out, and how they would move on from the incident. But Max and Monroe have done a wonderful job with this storyline. It moves well, things get explained well, and the characters have me captivated.
Every time I would need to put the book down because my break time was over at work, or I had to go to bed so I could function at work the next day, I was disappointed. Because I just wanted to keep reading. I HAVE to know how this will play out. I HAVE to know whats in store for these characters. I’ve grown attached to them, all the rude and angry comments included.
While there are some things that had me annoyed at particular characters, it all added to the depth of the story. The emotional reactions the characters have and bring out in each other is fantastic, even if a lot of the time it can feel over the top or unwarranted.
And of course, we all expect a cliff hanger, because we know this book isn’t the end of the story, but that ending? So many things were just thrown at me, and its so much to take in, that SOMEONE PLEASE JUST GIVE ME FOX RIGHT NOW. STAT. DID I MENTION RIGHT NOW? K THANKS.
Anyhooo…There are so many possibly theories for what could happen in Fox, that its going to be a hell of a wait until we get to find out, even if it is only a month away.
I always enjoy Max Monroe books, and their romcoms are fab, but this series, this is a whole new style of writing from them which I ADORE. I really hope that after this trilogy, we get more thrilling and intense books like this too.
Gah, it seems like forever since we had book 1, Stone. I know, it is has only been a few weeks, however I have been impatiently waiting for Cold since the second I finished Cold.
Boy, was it worth the wait!
Right from the get go we were taken on another ride with Levi and Ivy.
But ugh, Ivy! She spent most of the book irrationally mad at Levi for things that happened at the end of book one, even though she knows what really happened. To me she felt quite immature for most of the book and I wanted to shake some sense into her. She eventually kinda comes around but boy did she test me in this installment.
Levi is just everything. The more we learn the more we love him.
We know this is going to be another cliffy, ready for book 3, so I was wondering as I read “what can be the things that we end on this time?”
Oh. My. God. You are going to be shocked with things happen.
Now I can’t wait for the final installment. Is it May yet?
5 Star Review of Cold (Stone Cold Fox Trilogy #2) by Max Monroe
Cold continues on from the first book Stone and Max Monroe take you on one heck of a roller coaster ride with Ivy and Levi.I fell for Levi in the first book and now after reading Cold I am more enamoured than ever.
Fighting to get Ivy to forgive him, Levi just about melted my heart when Ivy’s stubborn determination to avoid and ignore him continues.However Ivy has no idea just how determined Levi is to make it up to her, having finally started to live again thanks to Ivy, he has no intention of retreating.
There is so much angst, passion, heat, love and hate woven throughout this book that I was on the edge of my seat. The emotions that were brought to the surface at times had me in tears and I freely admit that there are no words to do justice to this book.
Just when I thought I knew what was coming, Max Monroe blind sided me. Not going to say more for fear of accidentally revealing spoilers.
Is it May 20 yet? That is when Fox, the conclusion to this trilogy releases and I cannot wait t. I cannot recommend this series more highly, it is a must read
Book 2 in the Stone Cold Trilogy picks up right where book 1 finished and from page one you are right back in Levi and Ivy’s world. Levi needs to explain what happened on the night he betrayed Ivy but will she listen, Levi is prepared to lay all on the line for the woman he is falling for, he knows what he wants and he is happy to give her the space she needs to realise what she wants and he is hopping and praying it’s him…….
The very talented writing duo of Max Monroe have once again shown us just how diverse their writing skills are, this is a love story but it’s also a mystery and even though I’m not a fan of cliffhangers I can see why they left this book where they did. Great read that I would recommend to any romance or mystery lover.
