The Winter Queen Duet #1
The Frost Touched Queen
From the USA Today Bestselling Author Ivy Fox comes a new angsty romance filled with intrigue and revenge, and a thick web of secrets and lies that begs to be disentangled.
“The king is dead. Long live the Winter Queen in the north!”
Unfortunately, those jubilant shouted-out wishes over my role as queen of the Kingdom of Aikyam were short-lived.
All because three pesky kings stand in my way.
King Levi in the east.
King Teodoro in the south.
And the rebel king in the west, Atlas.
They want my crown.
My throne.
My birthright.
So instead of trying to dismantle their plots to overthrow me, I do the unexpected.
I offer up marriage instead.
A trap of my own making that will ensure I remain on top.
Because, make no mistake, there can only be one ruler in this kingdom—me.
*The Frost Touched Queen is a #whychoose, enemies to lovers, royal romance.
*This is the first book in the duet – The Winter Queen.
*Recommended 18+ due to mature language and situations.

Lately, I've been struggling to find a book that completely captivates me from start to finish. That all changed with this first half of The Winter Queen Duet. The Frost Touched Queen surpassed all my expectations!
It's childhood best friends to enemies to lovers, and if you know me at all, you know I'm a sucker for that shit! The history between each of the characters, the emotional bond, the angst, the heartbreak, and everything else that makes that trope amazing are present and accounted for.
Katrina has three childhood loves (now kings), but we only truly spend time with two of them in this book. They're both strong and broken in their own ways. There are flashbacks peppered throughout the book that give us glimpses into their past, and I loved discovering more about their relationships with each other as well as Katrina as the story progressed.
Katrina is a sheltered, privileged, former princess/newly crowned queen, but unbeknownst to her at the start of her journey, her blinders are about to be ripped off. She gets raw dogged with a hefty dose of reality. No lube. Instead of refusing to accept the upsetting truth she discovers, she vows to correct the wrongs of her father, and I appreciated seeing her continously grow both as a person and ruler throughout the story. There were times where she frustrated me, but she always made things right in the end.
Levi had my heart immediately. A gentleman, an exceptional king, a warrior, an incredible lover, and an all around phenomenal, honorable human being? What's not to love? Even when he "didn't like" Katrina, he would get all growly and protective if anyone dared say an unkind word about her. I challenge anyone not to be head over heels for him by the end of the first half of this book. It's an impossibility!
I was terrified I wouldn't want another hero for Katrina after I met Levi, but Teo's charm and unwavering love and affection for her won me over. That coupled with his emotional trauma, deep rooted sense of guilt, and self loathing made it hard for me to do anything but love and feel for the southern king. Him being a freak in the sheets definitely didn't hurt either.
Levi and Teo actually both share trauma from a specific event in their past. They were on different sides of it, but it destroyed them both nonetheless. Prepare yourself, because it's pretty horrifying, especially when you consider their ages and all the parties involved. Picturing it made me sick to my stomach.
If you're like me, you're always wondering about the steam in any romance you read. Is there any? Is it good? Is it frequent? Well, don't worry y'all, because the author did not disappoint in that area at all! Get your fans, ice water, and dry panties ready, because this shit is spicy! The sex is hot, kinky, and plentiful! You won't be disappointed.
The Frost Touched Queen is a fantastic start to The Winter Queen Duet. It's intriguing, sexy, angsty, emotional, and exactly what I was hoping for. It's my favorite read from Ivy Fox yet, and I couldn't be more excited to see what she has in store for us next!

⤅ Genuinely bad writing is letting down what could have been a mid-to-solid RH.
On another note, so good to be writing my first review after what feels like ages! Starting work has really done a number on my spare time and energy, but hopefully I'm settling into a rhythm now.
Ivy Fox is an author I've read before, and while she has a really... odd, for lack of a better word... writing style, her books are occasionally compelling enough that I find myself reading until the end anyway. This is one of those times.
23-year-old Queen Katarina of Aikyam has just inherited the throne from her father, and she's finding it hard going. As queen in the north, she's supposed to rule over the more minor kings in the rest of the compass - King Levi in the east, Teodoro in the south, and Atlas in the west. But her father was barely cold in his grave before all three started rebelling. Levi is marching north with his soldiers, Teo is reneging on supply agreements, and Atlas is being a wildcard.
So Kat comes up with a plan, rooted in the fact that she's childhood friends with all three kings. She'll spend a month with each of them, then choose a husband at the end - and whoever wins will be king of Aikyam with her. But what happens when she falls for all of them... and why do they hate her so much?
❌ From the start, I was totally IN LOVE with this plot idea. RH, political intrigue, a heroine trying to manipulate heroes who are trying to manipulate her back, childhood friends to enemies to lovers? Sign me up. Unfortunately, this plot collapses about 25% in.
None of these characters are really manipulative at all. Kat's grand plan dissolves when she falls in love with Levi about ten seconds after he first gets inside her, and after that she's completely ruled by her emotions, in every way. She never thinks ahead, although in her defence, Levi and Teo also are apparently incapable of this.
❌ I'm not a fan of this RH set up. There are no parallel relationships; first she spends a month with Levi and fall in love with him, then goes to Teo and falls in love with him. We don't even see Atlas. Levi gets the lion's share of the character development, but even that is compressed into half the book. I'm not connected at all to relationships which form in under 200 pages, and their protestations of love look pretty weak after that.
❌ The characters' actions make no sense, and they come across as really stupid. Why on earth does Kat lose her virginity to Levi so easily, knowing that she needs to play a long-term game to save her kingdom and can't give her heart away so easily? Instead, when she leaves Levi for Teo, she spends her time sobbing and missing Levi, making a mockery of her claim that she'd give the kings an equal chance to win her. In real life, this is the kind of thing that might cause wars. Her transition to loving Teo also seems to occur at light speed, considering she was hating him and refusing to clap eyes on him a week earlier.
❌ For his part, Teo claims to have loved her for the last seven years. Sure... that's why he made no attempt to ever contact her, even after her father died. As for Levi, he professes a loathing of Kat based on a completely stupid misunderstanding (caused also by the fact that she's an awful queen who apparently doesn't know the first thing about her country's laws).
❌ The writing, man. Fox has got to have some of the worst editors in the business. There are not just typos, but straight-up malapropisms: her kingdom is described as 'preposterous' when they mean 'prosperous', for instance. Or there are weird turns of phrase, like a woman who has 'pleasant submissive facial features'. Frequently I found myself on the verge of DNFing, then decided to just push through.
⤅ Overall
I ultimately will probably at least try the sequel, but I wish Fox could find a better editor, because that would be worth at least an extra star when rating her books.

It's a ‘one horse’ trope, but there are multiple horses and multiple riders. This wasn't meant to come out as a euphemism, but if the shoe fits. Time period - Medieval/ ‘Game of Thrones’.
I don't think I can even express how amazing this book is. Urgggghhh its so good (I will use more expressive words in this review, gimme a minute). I'm currently feeling all the emotions, everyone of them.
I'm going to also try and make this a no spoiler review, as I think you just need to read it. You need to read it !!!
First of all, the author note. It was really sweet and funny, it made me want to read the book even more. She also encourages you to read the reviews for this book (good or bad) to form a better opinion, which I thought was really refreshing as well.
Second point is that it's not a fantasy. It’s set in a medieval, ‘game of thrones’ esque period. I think I preferred this though. The royalty aspect initially drew me in and obviously it's a ‘why choose’, so I'm going to pick up this book.
I have one slight peeve with this book and its the fact that it doesn't have a content warning, which I think is bizzare. I think all books need one. She encourage you to read reviews to find out the triggers or join a fb group for feedback. I don't think that is very effective, just add in a warning, as it includes pretty big triggers 😑 This hasn't swayed my opinion on the book as a whole, but I thought it was worth a mention.
So here’s the warning. This book includes ⚠️ attempted sexual assault of a minor/younger fmc (the attempted attack is detailed), implied sexual assault of a secondary character and the sexual assault of a corpse (it's brief and isn't very explicit, but it's still a little uncomfortable to read). Their is also a small amount of violence that is a little graphic⚠️
Onto the book...
So the FMC (Katrina) has only just come to the throne and she is facing issues from the 3 Princes of the other realms. In an effort to correct the situation, she proposes a potential marriage agreement for one of them.
The book is spilt into parts. After her own intro, the book follows the month that she spends with each guy. In this book only Levi (East) and Teo (South) are included. Atlas (West) is the next book.
She had a certain familitary with each of these men and so it makes the plot twists all the more complicated... And shocking.
It's dual pov, which I loved about this book. They rulers are constantly conspiring against each other and so having both perspectives is so insightful.
‘Miscommunication’ probably makes up 50% of the book, so having the dual pov also makes it easier to stop you pulling your hair out and screaming ‘whyyyyyyy’.
Katrina (Kat/Kitten) 👸 - is the Daenerys Targaryen of rulers. Total badass. She has two sides to her, one being the Queen of the North and the other Sister/Friend/Lover. She is constantly switching between the two, when the situation needs it. She can be pretty naive at points, but not enough to hate her for it.
Levi - Super frustrating and arrogant. He's also very witty and protective. So obviously we are obsessed with him. He gets so much better throughout the book.
Teo - He’s a bit of a brat and you will instantly hate him. Not only because of his personality, but because of things ‘you believe’ he has done. He also a very traumatised individual and carries a lot on his shoulder. I'm still warming to him.
Atlas - Has hasn't made an appearance yet, but that cliffhanger make me weirdly like him even more.
Fyi - This book is very spice heavy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ It has multiple partner scenes (not including the fmc) and also includes BDSM. There is probably a lot of other specific categories I'm missing, but I don't know the exact terms for all of them. It will be a nice surprise for you 😂
It's a 4.5 ⭐️ for me, because I honestly enjoyed reading it so much.
Can't wait to read the next book. Please let the drama continue 🤞🤞

I loved the characters in this book, and the story is intriguing. The only thing I had an issue with was the Fantasy world setting, it could have used more world-building but I'll get into that later.
Alright so bear with me while I attempt to write this review, my brain's at 20% function capacity today.
This is a Fantasy world setting but you won't find any Fae or Magic running around in this world. The world rules work like Renaissance-era Earth for the most part, just without any historical accuracy (because it's a fantasy world). So remember if you read this and get to the part where the Queen goes to the southern kingdom and tries on a Bikini Bathing suit, you were forwarned.
But, if you're not a big history buff and that kind of thing doesn't bother you I highly recommend trying this. I honestly loved it, the depth of feeling I got from reading about these characters is a rare thing for me. I fell in love with these characters and the story.
The story takes place in a world where there are 4 kingdoms. One for the North, South, West, and East. Each kingdom has a predominate season, south is summer, north is winter, and so on. In this, it does resemble a Fae Kingdom but there are only humans in this story.
The story starts after the King of North has passed away and her daughter has taken the throne. There may be 4 kingdoms and 4 royals but the North has always ruled over all of them. The newly crowned Queen of the North starts her rule only to have the other 3 Kingdoms turn on her, one marches an army to her gates, another refuses to send food, and the last refuses to sell their goods. She's about to lose her crown and she doesn't even know why.
As a child, the Queen was a princess who would spend a month out of every year with three princes. All four royal children, one from each kingdom, became close friends and maybe even closer than that. But when the Princesses, now Queen, mother dies her father, the King, stops allowing her to see the princes she loves. So she grows apart from them, not getting to see them turn into men.
Cut back to the current timeline, the Princess is now the Queen and those 4 Princes are all Kings of their lands. The same Kings are the ones who seem to want to unthrone her. Lost and not knowing how to stop the army approaching her gate, she decides to send out a decree to help save her people. She will visit all the Kingdoms and their Kings before choosing one of them to Marry her. I can't fully explain right now how that stops an approaching army (20% brain capacity remember), but it makes a ton of sense in the book I promise.
So the Queen sets out on a journey to visit the other 3 kingdoms and their Kings. A journey she hopes will reign in the dissent in her kingdom and keep her on the throne. Meanwhile, we will learn why the princes who once loved her have grown into Kings who want to unthrone her. We don't get to see any of the Kings interact with each other in this book, or well we get memory chapters from the past where they do but not on the current timeline. The Queen will visit two of the Kings in this book, we won't meet the third until the next book. So even though it's a reverse harem story, it starts out more MF since she spends one month in each kingdom and with each King.
My only complaint is with the world-building that I touched on a bit at the start of the review. Yes, it's a fantasy world but it needs some rules and guidelines to go by. For example, the characters will say things like "Thank the Gods" but no mention of what "Gods" they're referring to have been made, or even a house of worship of any kind. I mean what King or Queen believes in "Gods" but doesn't pay homage to them at any point? The entire world seems to simply be made up of the North, South, East, and West Kingdoms. There is mention of boats that travel for trade and armies that are sent off to battle with "unknown origin", these things are said to happen but no
explanation as to where or with whom. The mannerisms/slang are more reminiscent of modern-day Earth, but the setting is supposed to be Renaissance Earth. We have things like Bikini bathing suits popping up, but no explanation of the rules or history of this fantasy world that's been built.
These things didn't end up bothering me too much though, mainly because of the amazing characters and interesting storyline. I was happy to ignore the lack of world-building to read more of this! I'm excited for when all the Kings and the Queen come together to meet in the Northern kingdom so the Queen can choose her husband (or husbands😉). Which is why I'm off to read book 2!
Thank You for the rec Vee!

She will visit all the Kingdoms and their Kings before choosing one of them to Marry her. I can't fully explain right now how that stops an approaching army (20% brain capacity remember), but it makes a ton of sense in the book I promise.
So the Queen sets out on a journey to visit the other 3 kingdoms and their Kings. A journey she hopes will reign in the dissent in her kingdom and keep her on the throne. Meanwhile, we will learn why the princes who once loved her have grown into Kings who want to unthrone her. We don't get to see any of the Kings interact with each other in this book, or well we get memory chapters from the past where they do but not on the current timeline. The Queen will visit two of the Kings in this book, we won't meet the third until the next book. So even though it's a reverse harem story, it starts out more MF since she spends one month in each kingdom and with each King.
My only complaint is with the world-building that I touched on a bit at the start of the review. Yes, it's a fantasy world but it needs some rules and guidelines to go by. For example, the characters will say things like "Thank the Gods" but no mention of what "Gods" they're referring to have been made, or even a house of worship of any kind. I mean what King or Queen believes in "Gods" but doesn't pay homage to them at any point? The entire world seems to simply be made up of the North, South, East, and West Kingdoms. There is mention of boats that travel for trade and armies that are sent off to battle with "unknown origin", these things are said to happen but no
explanation as to where or with whom. The mannerisms/slang are more reminiscent of modern-day Earth, but the setting is supposed to be Renaissance Earth. We have things like Bikini bathing suits popping up, but no explanation of the rules or history of this fantasy world that's been built.
These things didn't end up bothering me too much though, mainly because of the amazing characters and interesting storyline. I was happy to ignore the lack of world-building to read more of this! I'm excited for when all the Kings and the Queen come together to meet in the Northern kingdom so the Queen can choose her husband (or husbands😉). Which is why I'm off to read book 2!
Thank You for the rec Vee!

Why just 2 stars? (Spoilers)
The first 50% I read in a day and it was lovely. It had a good plot and story. I was intrigued ... it had potential for some female intrigue and plotting..out smarting the kings she is trying to ensnare but she turns out to be just a naive child that falls in love with everyone....
X This Virgin queen goes from traveling to find a husband to having her first sexual partner to the second partner with bdsm just like that in the span of 3 weeks...it was so weird. The story could have been epic but 55% in and the rest was just pure smut. The Queen who has just fallen in love with king nr 1 goes to visit King nr 2 after just loosing her virginity there she stumbles into a scene where a woman gets TRIPLE penetrated ( yes, 3 men at the same time) while she is giving oral pleasure to her handmaiden, who in her turn is giving oral pleasure to 2 strange men. Like what? The whole plot just went out of the window and it was just 15 pages of smut at a time. From her falling in love with the fist king she visit which happens in the first 60 % of the book to the last 40 % of visiting the next king nothing happens in the story line.
X The queen questions nothing: why is king nr 1 mad at king nr 2 and wants to kill him..she doesn't even ask a question. Why are people starving? Why do people hate her so much? Who is this mystery child that she just presumes is the child of king nr 2, where is the mother of that child? Why does everyone hate her father?
There are also no questions like: So what have you been up to the last 7 years since we spoke?
X These kings claim to have been in love with since they were childhood friends, they haven't gotten over her, she is the love of their lives etc. etc. Her father goes mad and tries to kill everyone in the kingdom and they don't see her for years...and not even a letter is send to each other..nothing...Not from them to her but also she doesn't contact any of these boys she calls her first loves since she was a small girl and saw for a month every year ..well that sounds like love to me. Not even a message from the kings to check if she is alright after her father looses his mind and becomes evil. It is just bizarre.
Now I do like smutty books like this now and again but just not like this..it was just unreasonable in this setting of an old times kind of story with kings, knights and handmaidens and a virgin queen looking for a husband to save her kingdom..
Did not read the last 15% just skimmed it as it was just her getting f$%&! in different ways. Will not pick up book 2 in the series.

This book has everything you need!
Enemies to Lovers
Why Choose
Touch Her and Unalive
And the spice is INFERNO level!
This book has great world-building and introduces you to a new universe you find yourself wanting to immerse yourself in.
This book couldn’t be described as anything BUT romance in its best angsty form. There is tragedy, romance, friendship, and the age old premise of finding oneself.
You will find yourself cheering for the characters and crying for them within pages of each other. I can count on one hand how many books have made me cry literal tears and this is one of them. The twists and turns kept me guessing until the truth came to light. It is a breathtaking tale that leaves you wanting more.
I cannot wait for the next in the series!

This book had an extremely dramatic writing style lmao. Even though I rated this a 2, i still enjoyed it somewhat and it did keep my attention, definitely as a “hate read”. The characters acted and talked like toddlers and were so dramatic I was laughing at the cringe, but again it kept my attention and I kept reading lol 🤷♀️ I just don’t think this book knew what it wanted to be with the writing style. (Modern or medieval)
Anyway it was alright lol! But I won’t be reading the next book, it’s not worth my time. It was so bad it was good to me lol like trash tv you can’t help but keep watching as the drama unfolds 😂

Well, nothing like a complicated game of outmanoeuvring your opponents when your crown is on the line. I really liked this story, it started off quite strong and to be frank, I was pleasantly surprised with the characters so far. As the story provides snippets from the past, it is easy to see that the FMC had a strong connection with the MMCs since she was a child. However, fifteen years is a long time and as it turns out Kat is no longer sure who her childhood friends have become.
I liked Levi a tad more than Theo, despite his initial animosity towards the main heroine. However, both seem to provide Kat with support and devotion, hence the formation of strong bonds. Now, Atlas.... a mysterious man. I would hold the verdict on him after the next book, but it usually the dark horses that shine the brightest.
I hope the Winter Queen seeks justice for her father's atrocities.

I made it to Teo and stopped
Sorry but Teo didn’t do it for me. I also didn’t care for Cleo. I understand the meaning but didn’t like either of them. They personally took away from the story for me and I didn’t finish the book.

Star Rating : 4 / 5 Stars
POV : Multiple
Cliffhanger : Yes
Hero : levi , Teodoro , Atlas
Heroine : Katrina
Pace of the story : Moderate
Angst Rating : 5/10
Heat Rating : 5/10
Triggers Involved : Betrayal , Manipulation , Revenge
Overall Opinion :
I have been a huge fan of Ivy's books as a dark or contemporary romance writer but this one seemed a bit different to me and I knew I had to pick it up because it has all my favorite genres like enemies to lovers, Reverse harem , a queen heroine and so much more!
I was hooked into this one from page one to the very end. All the characters won my heart. The ending hurt me though and now I can't wait for the next part! The steamy scenes are good and the build up is amazing. I have so many favorite characters this one lmao 🤣 Ivy writes in sync with the emotions and it is so tough to not feel everything when I am reading her words. This book was totally a big hit for me because there was tons of angst. It also hurt because I always knew there would be betrayal and now I want answers lmao. Can't wait for the next installment!
Totally recommending this one to all the contemporary RH romance loving people out there!

book 1 of the winter queen duet is unlike anything i’ve read before! the world building is incredible and it’s like the political aspect of game of thrones meets a medieval reverse harem. there’s so much angst between these characters and I love how each mmc gets to tell their own story individually with Kat. its a childhood friends to enemies to lovers, touch her and d13, forced proximity romance and it kept me at the edge of my seat needing to know what happened with these characters when they were younger to make them enemies, while waiting for them to reconcile. i cannot wait for book 2!
March 31, 2023
I was given an advanced readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary. Oh man okay first I need to say I'm Team Levi, I know this an RH but right now I'm very conflicted about Teo just something about him rubs me wrong. As for Atlas I can't wait to finally meet him. Kat I freaken love this girl love her, I like inessa too curious about Brick. I can't wait to the next book I wish I had it in my hands now.

It was a struggle to get through the last 25% I don’t think I’ll finish the series. I just wasn’t a fan of Teo and didn’t understand Katerina decisions/ reasoning for most of the book especially the second half. I also doesn’t make sense how Katerina who is Queen has almost no idea about whats happening in the kingdom, even in terms of laws and trade, you would think as the heir she would have had to learn some of these things. But nope girl is clueless for most of the book.

A pretty solid childhood friends to enemies to lovers rh romance in a fantasy setting that revolves around royalty UNTIL Teo. He really didn’t do it for me ☠️☠️☠️ everything went down the drain there
November 24, 2024
Plot: 5/5 • Smut: 5/5 —————> For a historical romance, this one was so good. A naive new queen “plans” to marry one of the three kings in the surrounding kingdoms. A plot to figure out why they’re so against the north and trying to bring her down. Childhood friends these kings and queen are, two out of the three reunite in this book and each fall in love. There’s passion. There’s romance. There’s death. There’s backstories. So good. Hoping book two with Atlas continues with steam.

DNF, which is unfortunate because I got the audiobook.
Narration was good. Female narrator did a good job and the male narrator was Alexander Cendese who is one of my favs.
That said… I hate this FMC soooo much. I can’t stand her and could care less if she has a HEA.

❄️ Well this book was different, but in a good way. There is great world building in this novel, as well as character building. Ivy is a favourite of mine, I love her way with words, character building… and steam🤭
❄️There’s a lot of tragedy in this novel. The characters were all friends at one point, and then insane tragedy happen that caused all of them to have some very strong emotions towards one another. However, it leads to some extremely surprising storytelling👀😏
❄️ This book is leading to something extremely intense - and I love it. This book was about getting to know Kat, Levi, and Teo. Watching their growth individually and together was wonderful. But let me tell ya, Atlas has my interest piqued👀
❄️ This book is sexy, intriguing, angsty, and emotional AF!

Once again Ivy introduces us to another world that is well written, amazing characters, faced paced, cant put down plot. Truly a top read for this year so far.
This story will stick with you way after you have finished. I might even be doing a re-read soon.
Who does not like reading about Royals, or a RH, add the plot of a Royal trying to keep her kingdom and needing to choose a husband. Let the games begin.
Katrina, I felt for her, she has some big choices to make. She needs to pick a husband, but what if her idea is a little out there. What would it hurt if it works???
I would definitely recommend this read any day!!!

The next book in this series cannot come out soon enough. Let’s be honest. You had me hooked at “why choose” from the get go but I was not expecting what I got.
I had Katrina (Kat) pegged from the beginning. I knew that she was completely out of the loop on things that had taken place within the kingdoms by her father when she was younger. My feeling is that it was more because of her sex than him actiually trying to “shelter her”. I love the growth of her character over the course of this book and am dying to find out what happens next.
In this book we really meet two of the three kings; Levi in the East and Teo in the South. They are both super protective of her subconsciously and consciously. It’s obvious that Levi had/has feelings for her that she is and was very unaware of, whereas Teo was her first love and those embers are clearly still burning for them both. Both men open her eyes to things that her father kept from her that wrongs each of their countries as well as new parts of herself.
The spice in this book is beyond good. With Levi they can’t keep their clothes on or their hands off each other. It’s passionate and quickly turns into something more. Teo was her first love so those embers are still there but he opens her up to the world of pleasure pain… and the restraint this man has is beyond anything. Just make sure you have your water handy… whew. It gets hot.
I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. I will now be stalking to see when I can devour the next in this series! I would highly recommend reading this book.

A royalty reverse harem. Sign me the eff up. This is not a paranormal or fantasy. It's got a more medieval or regency era type vibe and I was all the way hooked. It started off kind of slow-ish on the pace as we get well acquainted with Katrina, newly appointed Queen of the North. In order to save her kingdom, she proposes a unification between her Kingdom in the North and another one of the Kingdoms, whether it be East, South or West. Her proposal consists of spending time with her three would-be suitors. Levi, King of the East. Teo, King of the South and Atlas, King of the West.
This book weaves a tale of secrets, hatred, deception and tyranny at the hands of the former King of the North. But in between all of that lies passion and love.
I'm really wondering how this will be RH at the end, but I'm gonna trust the process and see how book 2 proceeds. I can't wait for it.

This is by far my favorite book that Ivy Fox has released to date. It is also very high up on my list of books I have read this year for my top book of the year. It is a story that will stick with me and I cannot wait for the second book.
The Frost Touch Queen is a Royal Reverse Harem Romance that will captivate you from the beginning and make you want o read it in one siting. THe character growth and intrigue on what really happened in all the characters past makes you want to keep reading and leave the ending so you are dying to know how the next character fits in…though we have seen how he was as a little boy. This is a book you DEFINITELY DO NOT want to miss!

“The king is dead. Long live the Winter Queen in the north!”
Queen Katrina dad passed away so she is the new new ruler of the north. The queen knows the other 3 kings who used to be childhood friends will now set out to dethrone her so to get on the front door, she sends out a letter to the 3 kings to see which king will be the lucky one to have her hand in marriage.
King Levi in the east.
King Teodoro in the south.
And the rebel king in the west, Atlas.
We are taken on a phenomenal journey in a world that I didn't know I needed. Ivy has outdone herself with this book and it is one of my fave books she has ever written.
