When a promotion has the West Coast sister relocating to New York City, she packs all her belongings and brings along memories of all the shoulda, coulda, woulda her Momma always told her not to think about.

And as her romantic prospects go from zero to sixty, Leah’s putting on her running shoes. This time it’s not just her first love at her heels; Scottish rock star Sean Andrews isn’t far behind in the race for her heart.
REVIEW
This book came highly recommended to me by a friend and
fellow book lover. This book has been on
my TBR for some time now. I must admit, I was a bit hesitant to start the book
based on several of the reviews that I read, which did not put the book in a
favourable light. In addition to that I
had no experience with the author’s work. However, I reminded myself that what
works for one reader does not necessarily works for another reader. As a result, I decided to move past my doubts
and gave the book a shot.

I found Frost on my Window to be a unique read. First of all
I must say I don’t consider this to be a romance. There are romantic elements,
but the way in which it was portrayed would put it more in the category of women’s
fiction. I say this because most of the
focus was placed on the female protagonist and the struggles she faced in her
everyday life.

The author’s writing style made for a compelling read, which
pulls you into the story and holds your attention to the end. The characters who are faced with real life
issues are likable and easy to relate to. I thought the characters were well
developed, however I would have loved it if the main characters were given
equal exposure. It would have been great
to learn more about the male protagonist. The little that was mentioned
indicated that he was an interesting character.

The story is about a young college graduate, Leah, who was
in love with her best friend, Lance, however her feelings were not
reciprocated. When he chose to marry her
nemesis from college instead of facing him and telling him the truth, she ran
away and started a new life in a new city.
While there she met Scott a handsome Scottish rocker. A friendship
developed between them and before Leah knew what hit her feelings for Scott
evolved into more than just a mere friendship. Will Leah be able to move past
her feelings for Lance and cease what Sean has to offer? Will she be able to
handle the exposure that comes with being involved with a famous rock star and last
but not least can she handle the stigma that comes with being involved in an interracial
relationship? We see Leah trying to juggle her life, work, family, friends,
past and former love. Although she has
come to terms with how she felt about Sean she was somewhat guarded. I am not
sure it was a case of being cautious, but there were times I found her actions
quite frustrating.

The story moves smoothly between past and present. We see
Leah having flashbacks about her life prior to and after relocating. The story
was told from Leah’s POV. Every event is
seen through her eyes. The pacing was balanced,
which is perfect for this type of story.

After completing this story I somehow understood the reason
for the negative reviews. I guess most readers went into this story thinking
they would be getting a hot sexy romance, but the story did not live up to
their expectations. I could understand why they would believe that based on how
the book was marketed. However, if you are willing to move past that initial
let down, then you will find yourself enjoying Frost on my Window. With that
being said, if you are the type of reader who is only interested in hot sexy romance
then this book is not for you. However, if you are looking for a light read
with romantic elements and a strong female character, then this book is for
you.
