Hmm at the beginning I wasn't sure about this book. Because yes Smitha had an attitude problem, yes she was a spoiled brat and yes, she could have let the guy down easy. But then there was the fact, she was going out of her way to avoid the man, doing everything she could to let him know she's not interested. Dude if she's trying to go out the window to avoid you she's not interested! Still for me the story started picking up once the curse hit. 
 After the cold retribution befell her, Smitha started becoming a more interesting character for me. Before she was the stereotypical self absorbed mean girl, and to tell the truth I was skimming the pages at the beginning, but once she became cold, that was a different story. From the blurb on the back of the book I was under the impression the cold followed her around, surrounding her and making it so no one else could get close. However I was wrong and I love the descriptions of the fact she is truly cold, from the inside out, so cold she's basically a walking hypothermia patient. 
 Along with Smith Sadriel was an interesting character, (view spoiler)[ but then seeing as how he's death, that's not surprising. (hide spoiler)] He only shows up occasionally but you can still feel his presence all around particular since he impacts Smitha so much. 
 I liked Lo as well (view spoiler)[ you know at first I thought it was the prince she was going to fall for, because you know, typical story commoner girl catches prince's attention, because of some quirk she has, in this case causing a snow storm if she happens to fall asleep at night, the two bond and fall in love, etc, etc. But then the Prince bows out of the story and we have Lo.! and I was so happy about that. (hide spoiler)] Lo was a wonderful character, he was so atypical of the guys I've been encountering so frequently in books nowadays, he was cold, yes but you can't blame him in this case she was a virtual unknown and he's tasked with keeping the prince safe. But he doesn't start off leveling hate filled glares at the girl because reasons. And once he opens up he doesn't have her on an emotional roller coaster, being friendly one minute and cold the next. (view spoiler)[ Okay he didn't intentionally put her on an emotional roller coaster but hey that unknown fiance' just coming out of nowhere. Although to be fair he made it right and he didn't throw his decision in Smitha's face and make her feel guilty about being afraid to love him. (hide spoiler)] 
 The Prince was an interesting character, it amused me a little, that he was so oblivious to what Smitha actually needed as opposed to what he gave her. But then what can you expect his world purvue is completely different from his. 
 Overall I enjoyed the book, once I got pass the first couple chapters I found myself just flowing along with the story. I enjoyed the writing and the character arch Smitha went through. Although I'm glad she forgave the guy, You need to forgive others for yourself after all. But I felt it a little hard to wrap my mind the whole situation. (view spoiler)[ dude got mad because she didn't like him. where did he get off judging her because she didn't want to marry him? Being self-absorbed doesn't make you cold hearted. You just need life experience and to learn the world doesn't revolve around you. People can learn this without having near death experiences. (hide spoiler)] 
 Is this book recommended? Probably yes. It's quick easy to follow and not a bad plot. Not to mention clean. Give it a try if you need something quick to get through.
