Elle isn't looking for love. Hardened by years on the streets, she's learned to take care of herself by covering her heart with ice and keeping men at arm's length. She's not weak and she doesn't need to be saved. But she wouldn't mind getting laid a little more often.
J's covered his heart with steel. He owe's his life to an MC that is not what it seems. Since he knows his priority must be to the club's demands, no matter how illegal, he decided a long time ago that love didn't fit anywhere in his life.
A not so chance, but definitely hot encounter on a crowded dance floor should be enough for J, but he can't seem to stay away from Elle. As she begins to melt his steel, and he manages to chip away her ice, his forced loyalty to the MC threatens to tear them apart. When the risk becomes greater than J expected, will love be enough to keep Elle from freezing her heart to him?

Elle is happy as she is, she's been doing things her way and taking care of herself for years. She doesn't take shit from people but few ever get to see the real her. With her height few men interest her and even fewer can keep her attention, when one man manages both she does what she does best. Elle runs. But J is persistent and slowly melts the ice around her heart. What she sees from him though is much of the same he's got steel around his heart and Elle is getting to him too. They both have things in their lives they don't talk about but can they trust each other to not break it?

Elle is tough as nails, makes no apologies for who she is and doesn't give a flying F what you think of her. She took charge of her life at an early age and is determined to make the most of it. It took her awhile to figure things out but throughout the story you see where her passions lie and what she does to make he life what she wants it to be. Elle is fearless and I loved that about her.
J is an alpha male in every way, who he is makes you just want to get him to grab you up and have his way with you. He's thoughtful and intense all at once. You see the strength of his devotion to Elle in everything he does. He has his secrets but you see that he's a good guy.
Great story I loved the way the characters interacted and you feel like you're right there with them. I'll definitely be looking for the next book in this series that's for sure!
Emily is a Midwestern Gal, but could be anywhere as you read this. She gypsy's the country, as well as south of the border. Adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material. She loves kids and working with teens, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for the people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of.

Hindsight and 20/20 you know how it is. J looks back to what brought him to where he is now after having shot Elle. We see how he got entangled in the life he's living and when he really first saw Elle. This tells what we wondered he was feeling throughout Steel & Ice and shows what it did to him keeping secrets from Elle. And how he's willing to do anything to get her back.
J might have his bad points but inside he's a good guy. I loved seeing how POV on everything with Elle and how he felt about her all along. His story helps you connect with him even more and makes you want to see him get everything he wants and deserves. Great companion to Steel & Ice and it's makes you even more desperate for the next book to come out!
