    Frozen Heart (Perfectly Imperfect, #12)
    3.0
    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 3.0Characters: 3.0Plot: 3.0

    I've always enjoyed this series because the books are usually quick, easy reads, but this one struggled to hold my attention. The constant internal monologues became tedious after a while, and I found myself bored more often than not.

    Adriano arranged for Iris's mother to be denied financial aid for a heart donor so he could force her into marriage because she's simply... the living embodiment of a painkiller to him. The guy suffers from severe migraines that are magically cured by being near her. I didn't like the way he went about securing the donor; considering his wealth and influence, there were countless other ways he could have handled the situation, but I suppose the point was to emphasize just how "frozen" his heart is. That, along with the fact their first kiss happens while she's drunk as fuck, wasn't the best introduction to his character.

    I knew I was signing up for a cold, emotionally unavailable hero, which I love, but Adriano's refusal to acknowledge his feelings dragged on for far too long. Their relationship barely evolved until the very end of the book, and even then, it felt rushed and undeveloped. They never communicated, never spent enough time together, or had any meaningful conversations that made their relationship feel genuine. I never fully understood what made them fall for each other.

    That said, I did enjoy certain moments here and there. It wasn't the worst book in the series, but it wasn't good either. It was nice seeing the male leads from the previous books, but I expected the bonus epilogue to include everyone. As the final book in the series, it felt like a missed opportunity to give all the characters a proper farewell.
