His touch is ice. His kiss, fire. And I can’t walk away.

Bianca

Kevin ditching me in the middle of a blizzard should’ve been the worst night of my life. Then I stumbled across a trail of glittering ice sculptures, each one more breathtaking than the last, until I found the man who made them: Ísarr.

He’s rough edges and frostbitten silence, a dragon wrapped in a human form that barely hides his power. He warned me to leave. I should’ve listened. Instead, I stayed… and now every glance, every brush of his cold hand, melts something inside me I didn’t know was frozen.

Ísarr

I’ve kept the world at bay for years, locked in exile where no one could see the monster beneath the ice. Until her. Bianca crashes through my walls like sunlight breaking over a frozen lake, filling my silence with warmth and defiance.

She should fear me, run from me. Instead, she tempts me past control. Her lips taste of fire, her body fits against mine as though she was made for me. Every kiss cracks the armor I’ve built around my heart.

The storm outside is fierce, but the one between us is unstoppable. And if I claim her, if I give in to this hunger, I may never let her go.

Snowed In With the Ice Dragon is a short, steamy novella that is part of the Monsters and Mistletoe shared author series. It features one grumpy ice dragon and an optimistic lost hiker searching for shelter against the coming storm.

Vala Stone

Vala Stone is a writer who brings the supernatural and the romantic to life with every page, capturing the hearts of readers who crave more than just a love story. Living in a small, cozy town, she crafts tales where passion meets the paranormal, creating worlds filled with intrigue, danger, and, of course, swoon-worthy romance. Whether it’s a mystical creature or a powerful alien, her heroes are as unforgettable as the heroines who steal their hearts.

When she's not penning her next paranormal romance, Vala enjoys the calming rhythm of crocheting, a hobby that, much like her writing, requires patience and attention to detail. A self-proclaimed binge-watcher, Vala’s love for supernatural shows like Supernatural seeps into her storytelling, where she weaves thrilling plots and complex relationships that feel just as immersive as the TV series she adores. In fact, her inspiration often comes from the idea that anything—no matter how strange or impossible—can happen in a world where the supernatural is real.

Known for her bold blend of romance and the fantastical, Vala writes under the pen name Robin O'Connor to dive into the world of sci-fi monster romances. Her popular series like Gladiators of the Vagabond and Serpents of Serant combine the thrill of the unknown with deeply emotional love stories, attracting fans of both romance and science fiction. Her heroes range from alien gladiators to mystical beings, but they all share one thing in common: their undeniable chemistry with the women who challenge and change them.

Living with her family and a mischievous tortoiseshell cat she rescued as a stray, Vala’s everyday life is filled with the same kind of unexpected twists that make her stories so captivating. With a knack for creating immersive, heart-stopping tales, Vala Stone is carving a space for herself in the world of romance and supernatural fiction, one page at a time.

This was a really enjoyable winter story that is part of the multi author Monsters and Mistletoe series as well as being tied to the Hillcrest Hollow Shifters series. This story is about how Ísarr & Bianca get together thanks to a snow storm and I enjoyed seeing how Bianca slowly won him over and helped Ísarr overcome some of his fears. I look forward to reading more from the Hillcrest Hollow Shifters series.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
