Synopsis (Goodreads):
She escaped Earth and ran across galaxies…into his arms.Thoughts on Cold Seduction: It's Lhett's turn to catch some feels and this is one dude who DOES NOT know what to do with feelings. At all. Like, he's a frown machine set to perpetual grump and he doesn't even see that about himself. Until, you know, he does.
Hanne won’t return to Earth. Ever. No matter that the rest of the human delegation is flying back from Rendu and she is one of the few humans to remain on this strange, frozen planet. What awaits her back home is way worse than any ice storm…or the brooding alien general she can’t stop thinking about.
Lhett knows he’s far from being anyone’s idea of a happy ending. His scars are enough to send people running, and his moods scare away the rest. But he can at least make sure that the stubborn human scientist doesn’t die on his watch, even if she drives him crazy with her visits to the planet’s steamiest appliance store.
When the heat between them rises to battle even the brutally cold nights, Hanne and Lhett discover that some scars don’t show up on skin. And opening old wounds is more painful than they ever imagined. Can love between a human woman and a hulking alien male beat the odds?
That said, Lhett does have a good reason for his grumpiness. His time with Hanne was cut short and then she didn't give any indication she might be planning on staying behind when the human delegation heads back to earth. So, yeah. Lhett's a big tangle of unwanted emotions and things DO NOT get better when Hanne ends up surprising everyone by staying.
Which brings us around to Hanne and her decisions. Hanne didn't know if she'd have the courage to go through with staying on Rendu until it actually happened. So she didn't say anything which caused a few people to be a little sad. Then she did the unthinkable (to her, at least) and decided to live her life the way she wanted to. Which meant being independent and NOT returning to earth. She doesn't want to lean too heavily on her friends or Lhett because she's terrified she'll get trapped in the same loop she'd been in on earth - forced to do things she didn't want to do because she saw no way out.
It takes time, a lot of soul-baring, a dangerous trip that nearly kills Hanne and makes both of them realize they didn't want to be parted from the other, and both Hanne and Lhett figuring out they don't have to do things on their own before these two can be together. Yeah, there's a little baggage here on both ends and that baggage needs to be dealt with before Hanne and Lhett can settle into their happily ever after.
