Some stories burn, Others start COLD.

Dear book lovers,

Iced Out by C. E. Ricci isn't a soft romance. It’s hot. That’s exactly what melts that ice. The kind of story where emotions are buried deep beneath control, pride, and everything left unsaid.

From the very beginning, there’s distance. Walls are built high. Feelings locked away where no one can touch them. But beneath all that cold? Something is shifting. Slowly. Quietly. Inevitably.

Because this isn’t about instant love. It’s about resistance.

The tension builds in glances, in silence, in the moments where something almost breaks through. You feel it before it’s ever spoken.

And that’s what makes it so addictive. The anticipation of when the ice will finally crack.

And when it does? It’s not gentle.

It’s messy. Emotional. Real in a way that feels earned, not given.

This story understands that love doesn’t always arrive warm. Sometimes it has to fight its way through everything we’ve built to protect ourselves. Sometimes it has to melt something that was never meant to soften.

It's been a breeze
