Who doesn’t love a good bodyguard romance? I know I’m a sucker for them! I am also totally a sucker for a petite heroine and a huge hero- and this book delivers both!

Our hero is hired to be an undercover bodyguard for an Olympic ice skater by her father. Only problem? Our hero gets one look at our heroine and it’s game over. He is attracted to her right from the start and it is definitely reciprocated. Undercover bodyguard however, goes right out the window when our heroine is kidnapped and our hero will do anything to get to her and keep her safe.

I’m the first to admit the Insta-love romances aren’t normally my thing. However, Cynthia Eden should give master classes in them because she has me hook, line and sinker every time! While both main characters are head over heels to start with they still keep building their connection. A great romantic suspense that can be read as a stand alone.

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Ice Cold Kiss through Net Galley . I absolutely loved reading this story . It's suspenseful and intriguing and so action packed . Wow this story took me on a twisting ride of suspense. I couldn't put it down . Midas Monroe has a dark past but he protects people for a living . Olympic contender ice skater Alina Bellamy is in danger due to her father's secrets . He hires Midas to protect her but doesn't want her knowing .
That secret gets out when Alina is taken . Midas is fast retrieving her . Midas decides there's definitely more going on then they realize and enlists the help of the Ice Breakers . Things get intense and Midas finds things are getting very personal along with his feelings for Alina . Some pasts don't stay in the past . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

Love these Icebreaker stories. This is Midas and Alina’s story. Idas the son of a serial killer whose is desperately trying to prove he’s nothing like his father. Alina the charge he has been hired to protect. Can he protect her without his heart being involved? Will his secret make her a killers target?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review this book

4.25stars-ICE COLD KISS is the eight instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult ICE BREAKER COLD CASE romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Ice Breakers, an online team of crime solvers whose goal is to solve cold cases. This is security specialist/body guard Midas Monroe, and Olympic ice skating contender Alina Bellamy’s story line. ICE COLD KISS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Midas and Alina ICE COLD KISS follows in the wake of threats against our story line heroine. Alina Bellamy is preparing for the qualifications for the US women’s Olympic figure skating team but unbeknownst to Alina, threats have been made, and her father has hired the best of the best.

What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Midas and Alina, and the potential fall out as secrets and lies threaten everyone involved.

The world building focuses on Alina’s quest for the Olympics; Midas’ past that refuses to let go; and the secrets that continue to betray our story line couple.

The relationship between Alina and Midas begins as an assignment of which Alina knows nothing about. Alina believes Midas is the new head of security at the rink but Midas has been tasked with protecting the woman with whom he will fall in love. Their attraction is immediate but Midas knows that to cross the line would mean no turning back.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow, just when I think these cold case guys/gals can't get into a worse situation, Midas comes along and meets Alina. I am trying to not give away any spoilers but when your father is a serial killer and Alina's mother "died" it is not shocking to find out that the two are connected.

There are so many twists and turns and red herrings in this story that it keeps you guessing!

It was a book filled with so much feeling that you hurt when the character is hurting.

I could not put the book down and was another winner for the Cold Case series, and as always, I can't wait for the next one to come out.

This series just gets better. I loved Midas and Alina. Their chemistry is sizzling. The suspense is high and there is plenty of action. We see a couple of favorite characters which I also loved. The premise of this one was fresh and it kept me hooked. I'm never disappointed by this author!

Once again we are entering the world of the Ice Breaker Cold Case crew and this time we get Midas Monroe we have met him in previous books and I have been looking forward to his story

He is placed as the new head of security at the ice rink where Alina Bellamy is preparing for the qualifications for the US women’s Olympic figure skating team but he is really there to protect her as there has been threats against her. The only problem is soon there is a connection between them but Midas knows he can't mix business and pleasure Soon he realises the threat is stemming from Ryker Bellamy who is Alina's fathers past Can he keep her safe Can they get a HEA You will have to read to see

Midas's father is a horrible human being. Midas is nothing like him. Good thing for Alina's sake. Even when her world is falling apart she truly trust him completely. This book is full of a lot of suspense. I love reading it.

Midas Monroe lived through a devastating childhood. He was temporarily jailed for crimes he didn’t commit; crimes committed by his serial killer father. Thanks to the Ice Breakers, a private cold case unit funded by a wealthy man, he was exonerated. He has been hired to protect Olympic hopeful ice skater Alina Bellamy. Stunned would not be an exaggeration when he first meets her. She is beautiful, naïve, petite and he is an overly large, strong man who is not fit to touch her. He knows he must remain detached from her, but her innocence has him ensnared. When she is kidnapped, he is able to track her, but now needs to be with her twenty-four seven. She has never had someone care so much for her and innocently wants to explore this heat, this chemistry between them. Can he keep her safe while trying to find out, from his father, where other loved ones are buried and begging to be found? A beautiful and emotionally charged addition to this amazing series. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Ice Cold Kiss is part of the Cold Case Series by Cynthia Eden. While Midas Monroe does not actually work for the agency, he is friends with several of the agents. This time his bodyguard duty causes him to need their help. It is a twisty story suspense wise with villains both near and far to Alina Bellamy.

Alina is a strong Olympic hopeful that has spend her life training on the ice. She has had little time for much else so it is no surprise that she sets her sites on Midas. As for Midas he falls hard for her too but has a terrible self-image thanks to his atrocious psychopath father. However, the danger and threat to Alina’s life keeps these two together where lust then love becomes impossible to ignore.

A strong alpha and a determined woman who fight to survive, finding love when they do. Romantic suspense fans will want to read this book.

An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Steaming up the ice...

I really was blown away by Ice Cold Kiss, which is anything but cold. Its steamy, fast paced and kind of a beauty and the beast on ice.

Midas is a badA. He doesn't give a S, because he's had to, as the offspring of a serial killer. Alina is the ice princess. Hey, those blades are real killers, too. Midas' job is to be her bodyguard and he does love her body. He's super protective and will do anything to protect Alina.
Recommend.
Buckle up, babes!

Phenomenal!

Midas and Alina have a riveting story that is utterly fascinating. The characters are genuine and pull you in. This is my favorite in this series!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Ice Cold Kiss by the incredible Cynthia Eden is the latest book in the Ice Breaker Cold Case Series but there is nothing cold about this storyline except maybe Henry – Henry is definitely cold, but I digress – This is Midas and Alina’s story and it starts out with a roar and never slows down. As with the other books in this series, they are all standalones, but I suggest reading them in order since many of the characters appear in subsequent books and I personally think it’s more fun when you recognize them when reading the current one. As the title implies, there’s always a “cold case” somewhere in the story that needs solving but this one had a ton of twists and turns. Just when I think I’ve figured it out, Ms. Eden throws me for a loop and I’m ready to throw my Kindle out the window. Ms. Eden is an excellent story teller in the romantic suspense genre and she never fails to surprise me with each and every new release. I don’t know how she creates such new, diverse and interesting books, but I hope she never stops! Another crazy dangerous romantic suspense with intrigue, drama, terror, suspense, laughter and tears – it’s all in here and you don’t want to miss it! Another 5+ star read. I'm very grateful to have been given an opportunity to read and review an advance copy of this book through NetGalley.

“Sometimes, something special can be right in front of you, but you miss it because you don’t take a chance.”

Alina Bellamy is in danger so her father hires a bodyguard without her knowledge. Her life revolves around ice skating. When she meets Midas there attraction is immediate.

“You’re in every dream I have.” She was his dream. The only thing that mattered.

Midas is larger than life in body and personality.
We met him before and I knew he would be my favorite. So physically strong yet mentally vulnerable. These Ice Breakers fall hard and fast.

“Isn’t it strange, the way monsters can hide right in front of us, and we don’t see them?” He raised his brows. “Chills you right to the bone, doesn’t it?”

Ice Cold Kiss (Ice Breaker Cold Case #8) by Cynthia Eden
Everyone of the Ice Breaker books gets better and better - they only let me give it 5*. Midas Monroe is back bigger and better than ever. He is hired to guard Alina Bellamy - but she can't know he is guarding her. His father is a serial killer, she is an ice skater going for the gold, they have nothing in common - but then opposites attract. There is angst, past murders, kidnapping, terror, suspense, evil, old friends and colleagues, some laughs, some tears, attraction, and lots of steam to get us to a HEA.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Scary Tear-jerker Witty Twisted Entertaining Action-packed Happily Ever After Romantic Wonderful characters Page-turner Great world building Haunting Easy-to-read Tragic Steamy.
