4.5 Fillet Knife Stars ⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

A Viking, A Billionaire and A Caveman walk into a bar... and no that's not a joke!!!!

This culmination of the series shows what a spectacular masterpiece this is and what a fantastic Author Pam Godwin is. I still cannot believe how intricately woven the plot was and how perfectly it was built together from the first word of book 1. The unexpected twists and turns I did not see coming, and the way the plot took my mind through a mental roller-coaster... I AM STILL REELING!

NOTE: This is the final book in the Frozen Fate series and cannot be read out of order. While I will try my very best to keep this spoiler-free, there might be spoilers for the previous books. If you don't want to see them, please stop reading. If you do it's either because you do not care about spoilers or you have already read book 1 and book 2... either way, if you spoil something for yourself - I tried to warn you...

Frankie and her boys, Leo and Kody are finally out of the frozen wilderness and back in society. Only now they have to learn how to readjust and survive in the modern world while dealing with their trauma, a stalker and Monty who is desperate to get his wife back (into his bed and heart).

Wow! Just bloody wow. I sat in a stupor at the end of the book coming to terms that it's over...and what a fantastic ride it was. There are many things I loved about this book but I am going to touch on a few things that were exceptional standouts...

Firstly I loved how this showed that human relationships are not always black and white. People are not always good and evil, right or wrong or defined by their choices. People and their relationships can be a convoluted mix and mashup of thoughts, past interactions, history and connections. But most importantly they can be driven by emotion, and often emotions are the biggest factor causing a war with a mind and logic. All our characters are tested to their limits, emotionally challenged and forced to find a way for all their relationships to work in this new world. A new world that might be more dangerous than the one they escaped from.

I also liked that I inadvertently read a subgenre I don't like and enjoyed it. I don't typically read thrillers. I don't like that they make my heart race, give me anxiety, turn me into a nervous wreck and freak me the fuck out because I hate the unknown... EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A MASSIVE AVERSION TO THILLERS, I still loved this. While some of it might have been due to the spicy reprieve that was sprinkled in chapters, I actually loved the thrill of the chase! The mystery to closing off Denver's final riddle and trying to figure out who the stalker was, with all the unexpected twists and surprises (THANK GOD FOR ONE OF THEM) I LOVED IT! Yes, my heart rate was averaging 120bpm but I WAS ENJOYING IT! A genre I dislike!!! LIKE WHAT??? Again applauding Pam Godwin because she made me like something I WOULD NOT TYPICALLY PICK UP MYSELF. And not only that - she's made this series one of the best series I have ever read and WILL THINK ABOUT for a long long time!

It had this amazing element that it is not only an incredibly fast burn but also has a superbly spectacular slow burn. If you're a fan of either you're going to love it because you'll have your spice fix while also having the tension, the pull and slow buildup to that ultimate payoff.

I love that it was "Pro-Therapy". Everyone has been through an ordeal, they have unresolved issues and trauma and need to talk to someone to help them recover to be able to properly function in society. I appreciated that therapy and getting help for your issues was such a positive and prominent factor in this. Its presence in the book I believe helps remove aspects of the stigma around therapy because if three alpha males can do it...anyone can!

The boys: Monty, Leo and Kody each bring their own unique elements into the relationship and it was sweet to see how Frankie is the glue that holds them all together. But the relationship that builds and forms between them is also something magical. It's like a found family in their actual family because they have one seriously messed up family- tree... The way Monty changes from who he was perceived to be in book 1 into the brother he was at the end of this was such an amazing character arc! His kindness, sincerity, generosity and patience were amazing and I couldn't believe why I hated him so much in the beginning. Frankie was a brilliant FMC, she is so strong-willed, stubborn and a born survivor. Her resilience and tenacity are so admirable and her heart is so big and so full of love...

There are a couple of things that did detract a little from the story for me... The first is there are a lot of "pissing contests", which I know is expected if you put 3 alpha males in close proximity and ask them to play nice but it started getting a little annoying. This coupled with them seeing red and going all "animalistic" every time another man so much as looked at her started feeling repetitive. The first time was fine, it was cute how possessive they all were... the second time was ok too...but then it happened again, and again, and again. I was so happy when they finally started behaving like civilised adults.

The second is the weird change of pace. Book 1 and Book 2 see a lot of action that's often situations of life and death. It moves quickly. But this...not much happens - IT TOOK A SLOW DOWN where not much was happening and I had already read 300 pages. However, there was still enough to keep me hooked.

This book is rough, some of the scenes are disgusting, deplorable and very difficult to stomach - so please if you have a sensitivity to triggers I would make sure you are comfortable reading this before diving in...

Overall I am so sad this series is finished. I grew so attached to these characters and their harrowing story and while my heart is happy to see how it ended I am going to miss them... but hopefully not too much....iykyk!!!!

Do yourself a favour, if you like psychologically dark romance or suspenseful thriller and ALSO LOVE some spice...this book (and series) will be perfect for you!

I swear this entire series be like...

Thank you to Pam Godwin for my gifted copy.
