Frigid by J. Lynn 3/5 Stars

J. Lynn creates these unconventional love affairs in a tangible way. Some of her novels have fueled a few of my sweetest dreams. However, I found Frigid to be infuriating. The writing is the same but the basis for the storyline is unbelievable. Kyler Quinn is your male lead. He is handsome and determined. He is resourceful and sincere. He is intuitive up to the point that he cannot tell that his best friend since he was a child has harbored feelings for him. Kyler feels as strongly for her as she does for him but does not act on these feelings. This I have a hard time believing because it is not meeting with his character. Sydney is no better. Her insecurities take a toll on the patience when reading the book. She is constantly second-guessing the meaning behind what Kyler says (which I admit is typical of a 21-year old woman and a 35 year old woman). Anyway it is Sydney's insecurities that cause the most problems in their burgeoning affair. I will stop there because I do not want to spoil the book. Positive feedback: love the setting in the mountains during a snow storm. It seems cliched but this is where J. Lynn works her magic and takes a formulaic convention and still manages to add some interesting plot points. Kyler meets the requirements for sexy book boyfriend with flying colors. SWOON-WORTHY MOMENT: Wait until you find out the meaning behind his tattoo.
