Icie's name is derived from her late mother's dark sense of humor and true to her name, Icie is cold and elusive to people who do not truly know her. Icie, aka, I. C. Ellis, Icie girl, Ice Princess, is a physical therapist whose clients are children. However, she is talked into taking on as a client, a professional football player by the name of Clay Mammoth. Icie and Clay have a history of dislike towards each other and neither is happy about the arrangement. Clay is an arrogant, heartless womanizer who, years prior, berated Icie for what he perceived as her gold-digging ways with his dying father.

The story lacks a captivating pace; the development of the central characters' attempt to overcome their issues with each other is labored. Lack of communication, deceit and secrets are the premise of this story that holds promise due of the offbeat humor and trials of the secondary characters.

of course i always had a thing for the thin line between love and hate scenrio.
i liked how icie was not just some dumb twit who couldnt take care of herself but a smart educated strong (depending on the situation) woman.
Now, this is my issue with this book. there was no development of them falling for each other. i mean it would have been nice to know when the realization that Icie wasnt a golddingger hit "#51" and he crossed over from "i hate you and wish you were dead" to "i love you and can't go another day without you"
all i'm saying is that it would have been nice to have somebody, anybody would have cleared that little mystery up for me.
I didnt like the fact that Icie, this strong independent woman, was so weak for that man but i guess that ws the point of the whole love thing.
another thing that got my goat (lol i dont know why i put that saying up here. i never say it but it's just so funny) was MaMMoth was a idiot! i mean he was smart but he did stupid things... a lot of stupid thing. illegally (stalking) stupid things. and he jump to too many conclusions. i mean really how are you going to have four kids but spend all that time at someone elses house and set "appointments" to meet up with them. thats a great mother for ya!
sarcasm aside i did like the book alot and i plan on reading it again, however i do not plant on ever purhasing it.
you get what you want out that last comment.

Okay when I began reading this book I felt the plot was pretty cute but what began to drive me crazy was the long drawn out development of a relationship between Icie and Clay. I felt myself screaming inside because I thought some parts of the story did not need the kind of detail the author gave and other parts that should have been developed were cut short. I felt like this book would never end. I wish the author would have allowed the two characters in the story to explore their relationship sooner. I mean they really don't come together until the very end of the book and by then it seems rushed and more of an afterthought. This is the first book I have read by this author and I really hope that this isn't how she writes all the time because if so I don't think I'll read another one by her. I mean I would recommend this book only if as one other commentor says you had nothing else to do and A LOT of time to kill because it will drag on.

The book had a good plot in the being I felt that it took too long for Clay and the "Ice Princess" relationship to develop, If the author would have went into depth with the relationship Mr. M had with her the book would have been better and it would have brought the two together quicker, The pace of the book was super sluggish and it took me a long time to finish this book. If you have time to kill and nothing else to do then I guess you can give it a try.
