As the Ice Melts by R.J. Jones

4.0

When I first started this story, I wasn’t overwhelmed. I didn’t like either of the characters much at all which I know isn’t fair to Adam since he was just reacting to Marcus’ ill behavior. As Marcus got back to his old self and further away from the jerk he became while in London, you see what a sweet, caring, giving man he is. The disorder he suffers from is one I’ve never heard of and I am fascinated by it. He owns a little piece of my heart because of it as I have a dyslexic son and know how hard it is when basic skills are compromised. He has surrounded himself with some pretty amazing people – I especially love Collin and Jerry, but Gran is special too. When Adam realizes he just got a really bad first impression of Marcus, he shows his true colors and he’s pretty amazing too. I hate the position he was put in but he has handled it well for someone so young. As Colin predicted, they are pretty great together.

There is a scene near the end that had me in tears – my heart totally broke for Marcus. I literally could feel his pain.

This is a pretty quick read and is written and developed just as well as book 1. You could probably read this as a standalone as the author does a good job of telling us what happened with Marcus in that story.
