I honestly can say I didn't know what to expect when picking up Frosted.  Hmmm, a story about Jack Frost meeting a girl who falls through the ice and making her queen and then letting her go and finally chasing her down to convince her one last time.  Sounds interesting, but can it work in a novella?  The guy on the front was telling me it could and I honestly don't even go for blondes (my husband is dark headed and I've found my type is mostly dark-headed men).  I mean look at him, doesn't he scream read this book :)  So I did and I was delighted.Yes I will be honest and say both characters, Kate and Jack frustrated me at times.  But that was part of the story. They were both in love but both afraid to admit it or didn't know how to admit it. One was scarred by life, one hadn't really lived a life.  I found them both to be interesting characters and once the novella really started moving and the story started really revealing itself I found myself understanding them and when I understod them, I liked them more and more and I fell in love with them and the story.  Wendy does that, she makes you fall in love with the story which is magic itself.I loved the use of the Jack Frost tale as the background with the winter kingdom and an immortal who controls the weather, even goes so far as controlling the weather for the woman he loves.  It was a fascinating read with a different background even though as Wendy simply states it is at it's core a book of boy meets girl.  However she does add layers to it that make it so much more.Frosted becomes a very a very enjoyable read that I could hardly put down.  I love the novella because it ensures a quick read, yet it's a complete read.  It develops characters and develops a storyline without leaving you wanting too much more like a short story does.  Frosted willl read quickly and you will want more but only because you will grow to love Kate and Jack.  So grab you hot cocoa and a blanket and if it's cold enough, bundle up near a nice warm fire and enjoy Frosted.  It may take away some of the chill of these waning winter days.My Rating: 4.5/5.0
