Blog Tour: Steel and Ice by Emily Eck

Title: Steel & Ice
Author: Emily Eck
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: January 26, 2014



Elle isn't looking for love. Hardened by years on the streets, she's learned to take care of herself by covering her heart with ice and keeping men at arm's length. She's not weak and she doesn't need to be saved. But she wouldn't mind getting laid a little more often.

J's covered his heart with steel. He owe's his life to an MC that is not what it seems. Since he knows his priority must be to the club's demands, no matter how illegal, he decided a long time ago that love didn't fit anywhere in his life.

A not so chance, but definitely hot encounter on a crowded dance floor should be enough for J, but he can't seem to stay away from Elle. As she begins to melt his steel, and he manages to chip away her ice, his forced loyalty to the MC threatens to tear them apart. When the risk becomes greater than J expected, will love be enough to keep Elle from freezing her heart to him?

This book is about J. who has a heart of steel and Elle who has a heart cold as ice and together they manage to break away the barriers to allow each other the ability to love and be loved freely.
J. has basically sold his soul to the devil in the form of his MC group and feels he can never break away from the hold they have on him, he's a bit mysterious and we don't get to know all that much about him.
Elle is a cook at Applebees and after living on the street for years doesn't believe in nor does she want a real relationship or love. But that all changes when she first sees J. at a night club she is dancing at. To the outside world she lives a fairly normal life, she works, go to school and helps at the youth center but in her circle of friends drugs and drinking is a common thing.
This book has a lot of  references to marijuana and drinking, which will make it hard for some readers to relate to it, in my opinion there are way too many descriptions of both of them in the book.
We see the characters grow and mature somewhat, we also get to see an array of very interesting secondary characters that complement the story nicely.
The ending was unexpected and shall I say a bit shocking?  The book leaves the reader with a big cliffhanger, so the wait begins until we can read the second book and see where the story goes.
 




Emily is a Midwestern Gal, but could be anywhere as you read this. She gypsy's the country, as well as south of the border. Adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material. She loves kids and working with teens, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for the people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of.
