(2*)- Firstly, should have been called 'The Ice Princess's Passion'. The CEO's temperament was barely mentioned, although he did start out as a typical arrogant executive. I did, however, find the tale lacking somewhat in love and more so in logic. SPOILERS: It's supposed to be 'love at first sight' but he blindsided her with a secretary/ex-(but not really)-fiancée, then was concerned because she was upset? The perp (am I really supposed to believe THAT is an EXECUTIVE in a company competent enough to partner with the ML's? Maybe it was Casual Friday?) in an attempted rape are caught, and supposedly sings but the mastermind isn't questioned till much later? The wife is accused of taking physical prototypes only executives and upper management have access to, but the 'top-secret' info uploaded to who knows where is never mentioned again. And there were others here and there. It just wasn't a tightly woven story and had several loose or unused threads. I had a hard time enjoying the tale, but the art was decent.

Overall a decent read (literally and figuratively), but a few disconcerting issues. It bothered me that someone could so diliberately play mind games with a 5 year old, and it bothers me that anyone would think the top of a tower, completely isolated from the rest of the castle, would be an appropriate location for a 5 year olds bedroom! It might make a decent fort/play house, but a bed room??? What was she thinking??? Other than those two issues, signifigant as they were, it wasn't a bad, and it was nice to run across a story that didn't rely on horizontal action to build the relationship. You see, even though they do 'sleep together', its the literal definition. They -sleep-; there's no hanky panky. If they keep it up, that bodes well for their marriage. RL shows couples who wait til after they are married statisticly have longer, happier marriages. Here's to hoping, because we never get to see the wedding, just the proposal. I enjoyed the art too.

This story is (another) good example of what can happen if you get physical too soon. I liked that he diliberately waited until they got married, but they got married in such a rush that they still skipped step one - building a strong emotional connection and a foundation of trust. When a woman (or man, for that matter) jumps to infidelity presumptions without asking questions and/or wonders if they are only wanted for their body, the foundation of love and trust that should be there has been allowed to erode or was never built to begin with. Getting physical and throwing hormones into the mix before that foundation is established can be incredibly detrimental. That said, I'm not sure why he couldn't let her in on what was happening, especially after he suspected she overheard. He had to know that would shake her trust in him, and it was only further complicated by the entrance of his old lover (Really!? Who lets their old paramour keep the key?! Makes you wonder how many keys to his place are running around out there.). Right then and there, he should have been intent on a heart-to-heart... and I have come to hate the phrase, "I need to talk you later." Add a topic!!! '...about extending our relationship.' '...about saving your company.' '...about my past, because you are really the only one in my life now." Whatever! All that said, it wasn't a bad story. It just wasn't exceptional.
