We’ve got Sydney, the “girl-next-door” who’s been secretly in love with her bestie, Kyler, for years, and Kyler, the “man-whore” who can’t get out of his own way. Add in some college drama, a ski resort trapped in a blizzard, and boom, sparks fly. But, like, also a lot of miscommunication that will make you want to scream at the page.

Here’s the thing: the chemistry between Syd & Kyler is on fire. But the constant back-and-forth of them both being too scared to admit their feelings gets old. Like, I get it, you’re both clueless—but it's SO repetitive.

The stalker twist? Knew it was coming as soon as the character was introduced. It was obvious, and honestly, I could’ve done without that whole plot. But—if you’re looking for a fast, angsty, friends-to-lovers kinda story where the romance and drama keep you turning the pages, then this book hits the spot.

Overall: It’s cute but low-key predictable. Perfect for a chill weekend read, but don’t expect a lot of surprises!
3.5⭐️

This book is the perfect read for the winter- and christmastime. The characters were beautiful, Sydney and Kyler were to strongminded.
I love a great friends to lovers story and Frigid was just that. I loved this book, it was a lot of fun! Frigid was full of humor, swoon worthy moments, very sexy steam and mystery. I must say Jennifer knows how to write a deliciously sexy lead man and Kyler is another in a list of sexy men by Jennifer. I liked the environment in this story. and the excitement with which the story was filled with towards the end.

Just like her others, I just couldn't stand the characters. I'm thinking that maybe she just isn't the author for me. I was hoping maybe her backlist would be just as good as her recent books, but not for me.

*Thank you partner @read_bloom for the #gifted copy.*

Frigid is an enjoyable read for fans of New Adult romance who appreciate strong character chemistry and an emotionally charged love story. While some aspects of the plot and character dynamics may feel familiar, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s signature style of writing—filled with tension, drama, and heartfelt moments—shines through. It’s not the most groundbreaking romance out there, but it delivers on its promise of a passionate and emotional journey. If you’re a fan of contemporary romance with some steamy moments and relatable characters, Frigid is definitely worth picking up.

Big JLA fan but didn't love this one as much as her fantasy series! Def a good winter read, though :)

A good pallet cleanser story. But any book with miscommunication in it will not get a good rating from me because that trope is my least favorite.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Frigid by Jennifer L. Armentrout!

3.25 ⭐️ this was a quick n easy read if you want a cute romance book. It’s not a favourite of mine but there were definitely still some cute moments between both characters. Best Friends to Lovers trope is a top tier trope for me always!

While I adore this author’s fantasy books, Frigid just wasn’t my favorite. As much as I enjoyed parts of it, I had a few issues that held me back from fully loving it. The constant misunderstandings and lack of communication in this friends-to-lovers romance became exhausting after a while. And while I liked both main characters, Kyler’s relentless womanizing was more of a turn-off than a turn-on for me. I still fell for him in the end, but he just didn’t hold a candle to Cam, Daemon, or Hunter!

Sydney, on the other hand, completely tugged at my heartstrings. She was sweet and endearing, but her constant pining over Kyler started to feel a bit too much—almost making her seem like a doormat when it came to him. While this book had its moments, I definitely prefer this author’s fantasy works, which captivate me so much more!

Childhood friends to lovers!!! They get trapped in a snowstorm together!!! Forced proximity, flirty banter. I ate it up.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I was captivated, and drawn in by this couple's complex and endearing friendship. This story left me with a huge smile on my face. Fans of this author or readers who enjoy a friend’s to lovers story should definitely try this out.

I really enjoyed this book. The friends to lovers narrative is definitely a favorite of mine. It was fun and well written. I love a steamy Friends to Lovers. I loved the chemistry between the main characters. Kyler was charming and sweet and Sydney was hilarious and their banter was amazing. This was a super fun and light hearted read.

Yet another amazing book from JLA. I’m usually not a friends to lovers kind of reader but this…this book was incredible. The characters were so relatable. I was hooked the entire book. Thank you NetGalley for the early copy to read and review.

I enjoyed reading this story, the relationship between the couple was complex and I liked the friendship they had. The characters really brought the story to life for me.

Loved this book! Perfect for the winter and holiday. A fun and steamy romance perfect for cold weather! It’s an enjoyable book with some drama but not too serious.

When I first requested this novel, I didn’t realize it was a re-release from a novel Jennifer Armentrout released back in 2013. I am not sure if future novels will follow the old duology or if everything will be re-worked. This story follows 21-year-old Sydney Bell who has always been in love with her best friend Kyler. As he seemed to be a player who never was with someone long-term, she was afraid to voice her feelings. Meanwhile, Kyler has secretly felt the same about her. The two end up stuck in a cabin with friends due to a snowstorm where they are forced to be together and deal with the potential dangers outside.

After reading a lot of fantasy stories from Armentrout, it was an interesting change of pace to try a contemporary one. It was still the slow burn romance that I have enjoyed in her previous stories where the characters have good chemistry. The two characters don’t experience a ton of growth given they are stuck in one place together. Other readers may feel differently as there is some growth, but I just expected more, especially as I’ve read other Armentrout novels that it. Overall, this was a decent read and I will continue to read more Armentrout in the future.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Bloom Books, for the opportunity to read this enjoyable novel. The opinions expressed are completely my own.**

You can definitely tell this book was written in 2013 and not in a good way. A new adult contemporary romance from Jennifer Armentrout that is getting republished due to her success. This was a fine wintery romance but do I see this couple lasting forever? Nope.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

A sexy friends to lovers romance with a bit of suspense thrown in. Armentrout knows how to write a swoony MMC, even if this one was a bit of a player. A quick, enjoyable winter read!

Friends to lovers is such a cozy trope for me and this book didn’t disappoint on that front. I like that it’s a reverse pining situation where Sydney is the one pining over Kyler and not the other way around.

Sydney and Kyler think they know where they stand until they’re stuck together in a snowstorm and everything change’s forever.

I loved how these two fell together and they complimented each other nicely. Sydney can be a little annoying at times, but she’s not unbearable. Kyler’s cocky attitude and sweet nature balance it out really well.

A cute cozy series to read!

2.5 ⭐️ This was okay. I am not a fan of a FMC whose whole personality is being just so tiny and pocket sized and little, you know what I mean? So when Sydney was called oh so small and little compared to everyone else 10 times in the first 3 chapters I wasn’t thrilled. This is a friends to lovers story, but the MMC calls his girl best friend baby and babe and is known for being an f boy is just not a MMC I like. I want to not think the love interest is an asshole or at least see a reason for his redemption. I was not a fan of Kyler.

I will say, this was an easy read, and I will be reading the next one because I’m intrigued, but again this was just okay.
