Just Jack by: Meredith Russell
reviewed by: Becky
When the line between fairy tales, magic, and the real world become blurred, can love really conquer anything?
Leo Marsh is having a bad day. He just caught his boyfriend cheating on him, and not for the first time, then he falls, quite literally, for a man who has to be too good to be true....
When Leo slips and falls on some ice in front of Jack, Jack sees something all too familiar in Leo's eyes. For over fifty years, Jack has existed in a solitary life of ice and bitterness. Just like Leo, he was betrayed by a man he loved, and swore no one would ever break his heart again: he gave up on love, and it seemed love had given up on him.
But if by fate or magic, Jack and Leo find their paths crossing for a second time, and with a little guidance from friends, dare to take a chance on each other. The problem is, Jack isn't the charming and uncomplicated guy Leo thinks he is. When Jack gave away his ability to love, he became something else, someone cold and unloving. He became Jack Frost.
As Jack and Leo get closer, Jack is left torn and confused. Jack yearns for anything that reminds him of his humanity, but the truth is, he feels nothing, not warmth, not love, and he knows he might never be able to love Leo the way he deserves to be loved.
May I start off by saying, this cover is STUNNING, love it, now about the
book, yeah it's stunning too! What a creative and wonderfully executed concept for a love story, "the man who could thaw Jack Frosts heart", oh yeah this so works! You will love poor Leo, and you will feel for Jack, who doesn't want to feel for Leo. What a wonderful story, you will be left with the warm and fuzzys just like I was after reading this one! Thanks Meredith, for a lovely foray into the unexpected! *5 Stars*

NOW HERE IS THE EXCERPT:
Cramming his hands in his jacket
pockets, Jack looked at the ground, and with the toe of his boot, he
drew a circle in the snow. Adding eyes and a smile, Jack admired his
masterpiece for a moment. It wasn’t quite right. He crouched and
held his hand over the simple drawing. Slowly, he pulled back his
hand. The soft flakes quivered. He teased the snow, rearranging the
picture, then straightened up. The image’s smile was gone, replaced
with a frown.
“Hello, Jack,” he said to the drawn
face.
With a heavy sigh, he dragged his foot
across the image, wiping the sidewalk clear. If only it was that easy
to wipe away the morose feeling from inside him.
He rubbed a hand over his face and took
a deep breath. There was a smile on his lips as he looked ahead at
the elderly gentleman making his way toward him.
“Too cruel?” he asked himself.
Maybe. Jack smiled. Or maybe not. He
wiggled his fingers and felt the cold air surge between them. This
was who he was—the bringer of mishaps, ice, and mischief, and of
the frost on the window panes.
He was Jack Frost.
