I don't know why I had it in my head this was a romcom given the synopsis and the title. Maybe it was the way the story began with Chloe Girard butting heads with her boss's, boss's, boss, Ethan Frost on her first day as an intern at Frost Industries. Of course, she didn't know who he was. How could she? No self-respecting CEO of a multimillion dollar company would be caught dead in surfer attire in the company cafeteria instructing others on the proper way to make the perfect smoothie. Pulleeze! And when the little redheaded spitfire gave him tit-for-tat...the chase was on. Then the light bulb came on. This was no fluffy, light romance. Chloe had serious issues in her past she was trying to overcome, deny, escape from. And while Ethan appeared strong, confident and comfortable in his own skin, he also had secrets he was keeping from everyone and sometimes from himself. Ethan's dogged pursuit of Chloe, his attempts to woo her, to gain her trust were so tender and heartwarming they brought a smile to my lips. His attempts to seduce her warmed other parts of me.;) Although neither realized it, their future was hurtling headlong into the issues of their past. The crash was gripping. The agony I felt at the end was compounded by the fact that I will have to wait until summer to continue their journey. Sigh!
