A Cold Day In December With A Rich Thug

Rate this book
Having been shuffled from one group home to the next since she was six, Tania Horne has endured a long, hard, tumultuous life. However, she’s finally turned eighteen, and legally, aged out of foster care, so the state can’t hold her hostage any longer. She has nothing—no plan—no money—no job, and no place to stay, but she’s determined to live a meaningful life, one way or another. After scouring the city in hopes of finding shelter to get out of the snowstorm that begins, she stumbles upon a home with an outhouse. At that moment, she thinks everything will be okay. That is until it isn’t. Idris “Frost” Ashe has everything one can imagine, loving parents, loads of money, and access to anything his heart desires. However, something’s missing. When the young beauty stumbles into his backyard, he doesn’t trust her as far as he could throw her. She’s gorgeous, but he isn’t looking for anything unless it mimics that old school love he’s been accustomed to all his life. His parents are an exemplary example of black love, and they inspire him to one day meet his soulmate. But before anything of that magnitude can blossom, drama ripples through his family, leaving him afraid of what could. Will their blooming relationship between Frost and Tania end in doom before it can ever get started?

Loved this concept!

Just 24 hours for so many lives to change. I really enjoyed the storyline and characters. Really would like to see Tiana’s growth.

Okay, you all, this one was busy, and I kept wandering off the beaten path of the storyline. That cliffhanger ending. Uuugggh! Check it out yourself.

Damn! A cold day fo sho! Loved Tiana's strength and resilience. Although she experienced hell in her 18 years of life, she was not going to let anything bring her down! Frost, was a good man, who was jaded by his ex, and didn't trust easily. His meeting of Tiana, was a mess by all means, but there was something about her. It was sweet to see Frost's attraction to Tiana, turn into protector. Christmas Day at the Ashe house was messy as hell! Kap needed his ass whooped! He knew Chanell was cray cray! My heart hurt for Tiana as she was once again abandoned. However, gangsta mama Francis shut ish down! That damn doll needs to be flung off into space! Ohhh, she got on my nerves! I hope there is more to this story, as the end felt like a new beginning for all the characters. Good read! 👍👍👍

This was a nice short read. I read it now you read it and come up with your own review cause I can't help you. Tania had done been through so much in life and her mom Sue just mad me mad when she told her she should've died in that car accident. What mother says something like that to their child? She put drugs over her child. I hated how Tania had to endure so much pain but seeing as thought Frost was her knight in shining armor made everything good. Kap just wasn't shit, Chanel was a good woman that deserved a better man than him. Baby Doll hoe azz was so messy, and losing that baby wss her karma. Gabrielle was a alcoholic, that needed help. I can't wait until the spin-off!

Nice

Such a drama filled, love story. Lol it was short but I love that you could definitely relate to having this much drama within a family in a short time. Especially holidays when families tend to air dirty laundry. Tania seems like such a sweet soul but with a strong will to survive. Kap might be a sweetheart but he is a lame fuck boy and doesn't deserve Chanell! Chanell is a boss! She has her stuff together and with or without her husband she shining!!!! Gabrielle is lost and her addiction is going to be her downfall until she can get it together. I'm glad she recognized that. Frost seems like a boss nigga who about to turn Tania life upside down In a good way ❤

GREAT READ

This was a good book. My first read by this author and I wasn't disappointed. This was a great introduction to characters I'm looking forward to reading more about. I loved how Frost's family was welcoming to Tania who had endured so much heartache. Although Frost had his reservations with Tania, I was happy he finally took the time to get to know her. Overall great read

Great read

I really enjoyed reading this book. I’m so happy that Tania found her friend and he looked out for her. I just couldn’t believe that Kap wasn’t faithful to his wife that he stepped out on her. I’m happy that Tania gave Frost a chance. If I was Kap I would have been trying to get back with my wife but she left him

Good read full of good drama. Kap knew better because Chanell is crazy with a capital C. Frost appeared to be in charge but really was a sweetheart. Love Frost mom and dad they were teenagers at heart. Babydoll deserved that beat down she got. Tania was a sweetheart that didn’t deserved the life she was dealt. Great read Author Mesha Mesh hope we see more about these couples in the future.

Frosty

It's my first time reading a book from this author but not my last. Tania had been through a lot at a young age but I'm glad she was able to meet back up with Kap and fall in love with Frost. Baby Doll got what was coming to her for picking knowing CeCe didn't play no games. Great book.

Good Read

It took a minute for me to get into the storyline, but once I did it was on and popping. It was so full of drama, lies and just plain messy. Alot of twist and turns that kept me wondering what's happening next. I need so much more of Frost and Tania, cause I know its so much more to come. Good job Mesha Mesh.

You got to read

Chanel is not the one to be played with at all. Getting to know the characters lives and being taken on a never ending ride through their lives was very well engaging and interesting as well as informative. I love how Mesha weaves a great story. You got to read this story.

good read

Altogether, this was a good read, but the author had me confused a lot, because there was so much jumping around in the sections and so many details were skipped. I didn’t understand how the author was talking about Christmas Day then jump to the epilogue it was just confusing.

A Cold Day in December

I’m here for this storyline because Tania isn’t the one to play with. Frost wannabe grouch ass sweet. I can’t wait read more about Kap and Chanell they are a trip. But it looks like Kap is going to learn today.

Disappointed

The book was good but I felt like it was half of a book and we only got the beginning...... I was not expecting the book to end like that when I usually love whatever book this author put out. I’m real disappointed

Ok read

I like Mesh books this one had too many errors though. It was a good read, but I wish I would have known it was a short story, I wouldn’t have read it. The ending was abrupt and I don’t feel like really know any of the characters. It was ok though.

Heartbreak in the cold

Frost was mean as crap but he loved hard and Tania needed love. Kap like so many other men has lost his mind why cheat on the one you love for a good time with trash?
