Synopsis (Goodreads):
Will true love thaw the heart of Ice Lord Incognito?

Melly: When my grandmother is arrested for poisoning the members of her social club, I hire Monsters, PI to help clear her name. My case is assigned to an ice lord, Elrik, the guy I met a week ago at a wedding and haven’t been able to stop thinking about. As we track down clues and discover there’s a lot more going on at Grannie’s social club than potluck suppers, I start hoping I can thaw this ice lord’s heart. But he was recently burned, and he’s not sure if he’s ready to try again. Can I convince Elrik to give love another chance?

Elrik: After the woman I thought I loved cheated on me with my brother, I swore off relationships for good. I planned to settle in Mystic Harbor and focus on my new job as an investigator at Monsters, PI. No relationships. No falling in love. But my vow is tested when I meet Melly. She’s cute and funny, and I ache to back her against a wall and kiss her.

After I clear her grandmother’s name, do I dare claim Melly as an ice lord’s bride?
Thoughts on Ice Lord Incognito: Melly's dealing with a lot and the smokin' hot ice lord helping her clear her grandmother's name is a bit of a distraction. A good sort of distraction, but still a distraction. While the sparks between them are apparent, Elrik is also nursing a bit of a broken heart and isn't looking to dive into a new relationship. THAT SAID, he's VERY interested in the sweet human who is determined to figure out who really poisoned her grandmother's social club.

They do a little sleuthing and a little smoldering. Which is a little surprising for Elrik since he's, you know, an ice lord. But he likes Melly and if he's going to heat up for anyone, he's more than happy it's her.

On Melly's end, while her focus is on clearing her grandmother's name, she's not unhappy IN THE SLIGHEST to be spending time with the guy she can't stop thinking about. And if they happen to share a few kisses while investigating, she's FINE with that.

More than a few suspicious characters, a steamy encounter in the church's social room kitchen, a little icy magic, a male who is smitten the moment he lays eyes on his lady (although he ended up a little tongue tied at the time), and a lady who hasn't been able to stop thinking about her ice lord since their first meeting. *thumbs up*
