content: Juliane and Ulrich really are legends in their time. She has the dubious honor of being the Queen of the Frigid and he has the sole distinction of being the King of Seduction. As the story unfolds, we learn how very much Juliane stands to both gain and lose if a man manages to rise to her particular challenge. Ulrich could easily have been a one-dimensional character in this story, but Dain peels back his layers and we find out how very much he has to offer Juliane.The most surprising thing about this book is its intense emotional depth. I expected a fun read and a great one, since it was by Claudia Dain. I should have expected the intensity and the heart-wrenching revelations, as well, but they somehow took me unaware. This book, like its hero and heroine, has many layers. It is deep, moving and satisfies on so many levels.
