Join me and readers across the globe to celebrate With Love, From Cold World book release! It’s my stop in the With Love, From Cold World Blog Tour hosted by @Berkley. I’m here to spotlight With Love, From Cold World by Alicia Thompson and have a mini book review so let’s dive in!
BOOK DETAILS
Lauren Fox is the bookkeeper for Cold World, a tourist destination that’s always a winter wonderland despite being located in humid Orlando, Florida. Sure, it’s ranked way below any of the trademarked amusement parks and maybe foot traffic could be better. But it’s a fun place to work, even if “fun” isn’t exactly Lauren’s middle name.
Her coworker Asa Williamson, on the other hand, is all about finding ways to enliven his days at Cold World—whether that means organizing the Secret Santa or teasing Lauren. When the owner asks Lauren and Asa to propose something (anything, really) to raise more revenue, their rivalry heats up as they compete to come up with the best idea. But the situation is more dire than they thought, and it might take these polar opposites working together to save the day.
If Asa thought Lauren didn’t know how to enjoy herself, he’s surprised by how much he enjoys spending time together. And if Lauren thought Asa wasn’t serious about anything, she’s surprised by how seriously he seems to take her.
the review
When it comes to romance I want to escape from my day-to-day and enter a world that has me feeling gooey (in a good way, like that extra dollop of frosting on a freshly baked cinnamon role) and grinning from pure joy.
And judging by this cute cover and fun title, I was hoping this book would do just that.
Sadly, With Love, From Cold World wasn’t for me. There was little character development, a number of heavy topics that didn’t get enough page time to give us the scope and depth of what the author was trying to convey in the overall story.
As for the romance, it felt rushed. I didn’t fully believe that these two wanted a relationship, beyond the physical, based on the length of time (which is like a week) these two are interacting in the book.
Even though this one wasn’t for me, if you enjoy a workplace romance, rivals-to-lovers trope, opposites attract, and a quirky setting for a romance, then check out With Love, From Cold World.
Happy Reading ~ Cece
