Don’t let the title fool you, Cold Spell is anything but cold! A hotness level 10!! A wonderful finish to a hot and sexy series. Wow! I just loved getting to know this trio of girls. Wonderful friends, each with their own problems, but loyal to each other. Liddy is no different. She is sweet and wonderful. Always thinking of others, yet thinking she is not worthy enough for someone to love. Oh how wrong she is.
Luke is hot and sexy. He puts off that he is an arrogant, egotistical asshole, but he is anything but. He is sweet and kind. He is just looking to live a normal life and for someone to love him for him. That is why he was not looking nor expecting to find someone, until Liddy walked into the room.
Overall this story is fast paced and exciting. It is full of fun and romance, add in a hot sexy man and you got yourself one hot read that is sure to leave you begging for more. Like its books before this, this book is about hot guys, spending time with your friends and falling in love. With amazing and wonderful characters you are sure to fall in love. Sad to see it end, but it has been a fun ride.
I have enjoyed the entire Sweet Escape series, and Cold Spell is no exception. So, glad to see Liddy get her story. I loved learning more about Liddy and her background. And Luke – sigh . He was a charmer with a heart of gold. The chemistry is hot, the story witty and charming and the slopes are cold . Come join Sam, Jordan and Liddy on their final sweet escape.
5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
I want to start off by saying how incredibly sad I am to see this series ending. I sincerely hope the authors give us updated on the characters as some point. Cold Spell was everything and more for me. This is book three in the Sweet Escape series. I must say, I’ve loved every book in this series, so don’t ask me to choose a favorite. These books are witty, fast paced, and entertaining. Plus the hotness is off the charts.
Liddy has watched her friends get their HEA and now it’s her turn. Calling on her best friends, the girls take a trip to Colorado to ski. When an accident puts Liddy out of commission, Luke is there to make it all better. Luke has a past, one that he wants to stay hidden, but sometimes things have a way of coming out. It was fun watching these two fall. To say they started out bad, would be an understatement. But the end was all worth it.
I love this story and this series. If your looking for great books that take you on wonderful adventures, these are it. I loved reading each story and following these couples.
This is book 3 in the Sweet Escape series and it features Liddy and Luke. Sure, her past hasn’t been great but she’s fighting this attraction as hard as she can. Luke is great albeit a little forward. What was up with that butt slap? That was unexpected and great! I love that he tells her exactly how he feels. He’s a fun guy and never gives up.
This is a sweet, funny romance! The story line was smooth and had fantastic characters.
The intrepid trio are back and now it’s Liddy’s chance at love.
Liddy is a tad clingy and each boyfriend becomes “The One”. After her last break up the girls head off somewhere different for their girls only vacation. But things go from bad to worse when not only does Liddy injure herself on day one, she does it right in front of Mr Arrogant!
Liddy has vowed No More Men but Luke, said ski instructor, seems to have made nursing her back to health his mission. With the added bonus of maybe accelerating her heating in his bed!
But is Luke all that he appears or will he be another man willing to say anything to get into Liddy’s bed and her heart and then crush her dreams?
Great end to the series. Luke and Liddy are anything but cold. Your kindle may just seize up with the heat these two generate. Liddy is caring and self effacing, never thinking that she is “good enough” for love. Luke on the other hand has a tough and arrogant façade that actually hides a heart of gold that has been taken advantage of a time or two.
Cold Spell (Sweet Escape Book 3) by Mia London and Susan Sheehey. This is
Liddy “Lydia Michelle” Drake and Luke Sawyer Rothchild’s story.
Liddy may not have liked Luke at first and in fact hated him but there was definitely intense chemistry between them. I guess there is a fine line between hate and love or is it hate and lust in their case. Luke and Liddy’s relationship seemed more like a fling at the beginning but as the story progresses you see that it could be more. How will their relationship ever be more with Luke hiding who he really is, Liddy struggling with believing everyone will leave her, and the fact that long distance relationships don’t have a good record of working out?
I loved how as the story progressed I got to see the real Luke and Liddy. These two are really sweet and both have a passion for helping others. We may not have a lot of money to donate to charities but there are so many ways that we can give to others in need as the characters have in the Sweet Escape series.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I loved this series, I’m sorry to see it end, though I’m hoping the authors do some novella’s for each couple!
Follow the story of clingy Liddy, who’s lost out on finding the right guy over and over! When her and her bff’s take another vacation, this time to Colorado for some skiing, she finds an arrogant guy, Luke Sawyer and she can’t stand him but he sure does fancy her! He pursue’s her relentlessly, will she finally give in? After all this is supposed to be a man free getaway!
Read along as she confronts her past and tries to move on with the help of Luke! 4 1/2 stars for this one, I enjoyed these two characters! Grab it when it releases!!
