I kinda prefer this book over the first one. The story starts of just after the first book. Again the two mains already know each other but nothing happened yet. I loved both of them and their interactions were just great. Just like the first one the plot outside of the romance is good and I really liked to see more of Rendu.

I binge-read the books, and I liked Cold Temptation even more than Cold Attraction. To be honest, I had a rough time lately and felt emotionally drained, and these stories kept my mind off my struggles.
It's easy to get lost in a story with strong yet vulnerable characters, suspenseful storyline, adventure, and spicy moments.

Buckle up because you're in for a ride! I LOVED this sequel to Cold Attraction!!
I was eagerly waiting this story because a) Zoe writes fantastic erotic romances and b) alien world!!
*
Obviously the tension between Mika and Kol did not disappoint. It was a great will they, won't they vibe. There were some great scenes set up between them, I especially liked when Mika wants to go explore an alien animal in some ice caves and Kol reluctantly takes her there. Chaos and sexual tensions ensues.
*
I also just love Mika in general. She's very unsure of herself when it comes to building relationships with other people and being in social settings but her love for animals knows no bounds. I love her belief that all animals are beautiful and should be respected. Her determination for writing the first zoologist/biology book for Rendu is heartwarming and I like that she has a goal and passion outside of just fulfilling her sexual desires.
*
I was definitely looking forward to reading more about Rendu and its world- the animals, climate, how it affects humans, etc. If you haven't read the first book, Rendu is an ice planet and very very cold. There were some great tidbits thrown in here that gave you a better understanding of what secrets this place holds and how versatile the Rendu aliens are. Also, how one small detail of another planet's biology could seriously affect humans. I live in Canada with 7 months of the year being cold and snowy so really, I can relate on a human scale ;)
*
I do sense a lead up to a third story within the series, perhaps between Queen Zeema and Steven (human) as Zeema has been in both stories now and a bridging of politics/love between Rendu/Earth would be very delightful. Zeema is also just doing her best after the events of the first novel so I am really hoping we jump into her head to see what's really going on!
*
Again, another fantastic alien sci-fi romance in the books! It was great and definitely gave me the warm - tingly feeling, definitely rated R! I most definitely recommend although, I do recommend reading Cold Attraction before Cold Temptation for a better understanding of the story.
Happy Reading!
