Seth and David are lovers. Seth is the sun in David’s world. When David discovers a long-buried secret that sheds a new light on the father that rejected him, everything changes in David’s life.  The bookstore he works for and loves is closing down.  When Seth brings home a young man who needs their help, David - trying to deal with his newfound information about his father - retreats into himself in a misguided effort to deal with his confusion and jealousy. Can Seth bring David out of his withdrawl before his icy silence costs them their love? 

The Ice Prince by Jessica Freely presents two passionate lovers at a crossroads in their life together.  Everything in David's life is changing, and not in a way he wants.  Seth is finding that, for once in their relationship, he has to be the one to save David, and he just doesn’t know how. David is the strong one, the Rock. Seth is an ex-pit fighter and street person. How can he save his savior before David's icy silence envelops his heart?

This book is sweet, passionate and heart-breaking. It has a place on my keeper shelf for when I want a romance to remind me that love is work but so worth it in the end. I loved the pure emotion David and Seth have for each other and how they learn that you can take those you love for granted and sometimes forget that it is not always about you; it is about the other person in your relationship and where they are coming from in life.  This story is beautiful and emotional, a true keeper.
