Kai Hunt is an American bull rider with the nickname of ‘Frost,’ who has been in Australia for the season. He acquires the name from his best friend, Sunny, and because he is so laser-focused on his craft. Sunny, also a bull rider, dies in a terrible car accident as the book begins, after a drunk driver hits them while Kai is driving. He feels a lot of guilt for the accident, as well as for his unexpressed feelings for Addie St. Clair, Sunny’s girlfriend. The accident injured Addie as well, but she survives with a noticeable facial scar. Kai adores Addie from afar, wishing that he had been the one to meet her first. Because he has had to lock up his feelings for Addie, he comes across as cold-hearted and rude. She is confused by his behavior toward her, even though she and Sunny always tried to include him when they went out.
Addie receives an assignment to write a series of articles about this team of American rodeo athletes. This includes traveling with the team and staying in the same hotels along the way as they travel to various rodeos across America. Her newspaper employer wants the scoop on Kai, who is notoriously private. They want to know about the accident and about his friendship with Sunny. Along the way, Kai and Addie begin to talk and clear up a few misunderstandings. They face some challenges along the way, and encounter some very difficult people. Addie handles them with class, grace and dignity and models behavior that would serve many people well!
There are so many beautiful things about this book! Addie and Kai have both been through pain and heartache and they are both strong enough to show compassion to others and to know when someone is behaving in a bigoted manner. This book tugs at your heartstrings in several places, but especially toward the end when the team is in Las Vegas. There are many heartfelt moments here…read and enjoy this fully!
Great Book…

This is the very first book I’ve had the pleasure of reading by Elle Thorpe and Oh my gosh this phenomenal.
I found myself rooting for Addie and Kai but there were moments that I wanted to smack one or the other on the back of the head.
Kai for his guilt over the accident that wasn’t his fault and Addie for pushing Kai away for his own good.
I look forward to reading more books by Elle Thorpe.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Addie and Kai are beautiful and HOT together!!
I was so excited to get back to Elle Thorpe’s hot, dirty talking cowboys, and she did not disappoint!!
Kai and Addie were together with his bestfriend, and her boyfriend, Sunny when he died and Addie was badly injured.
Addie was then invited by her paper to go to the US for the continuing rodeo season, and she was dreading it. Knowing Kai had always hated her, she was embarrassed to be seen using Sunny’s death for forward momentum in her journalism career, but she knew she was never meant to stay in the tiny Australian town she was born in.
Kai was stunned when he saw Addie the next morning being introduced by the head of the Rodeo circuit, and then when he realized she was going to be interviewing him, Kai was incredibly angry.
Kai knew he didn’t deserve to be around the woman that was his best friends girlfriend, he didn’t deserve her at all after what he had done to her and Sunny. He thought she could never find him attractive, especially when she’d spent the last few months with Sunny. Then there was his family situation, he could never let her find out what he grew up with – no one would forgive him if they knew the truth. But the truth is always more clear to everyone except the person who lived it.
When Addie suddenly finds out about Kai’s family she knows for sure why he’s always hated her, and this attraction she’s been suffering all these months is definitely one sided. Kai only has one shot to show her exactly what he thinks about her, and if he gets it wrong he’ll never win the girl.
A gorgeous, insanely sexy book that shows people can recover from what they were forced to live as children. Elle has blown me out of the water with the story of Kai and Addie, and the choices made after Addie finds out exactly how Kai feels. An action-packed, fast-paced novel of love overcoming every obstacle thrown in its way. I devoured it in one sitting, and couldn’t look away from even one sentence! Worth far more than 5
