Getting snowed in with your longtime crush? Yeah, it’s that kind of story. This had some steamy moments and the tension was there, but it also leaned pretty hard into the usual tropes. I liked the setup, but some of the drama felt a little forced. Not bad, just not mind-blowing. A decent pick if you’re into friends-to-lovers with a snowy twist.

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you so much to Bloom for sending this to me!! I enjoyed it as my first Jennifer Armentrout book!! I can’t wait to read Scorched next!!

Jennifer L. Armentrout's Frigid is a cozy, friends-to-lovers romance set in a snowed-in cabin. Sydney and Kyler's chemistry is undeniable, making their slow-burn relationship engaging. The setting adds a cozy backdrop to their emotional journey.​

However, the story leans heavily on familiar romance tropes, and some readers may find the pacing slow or the characters' misunderstandings frustrating. While the book offers emotional depth and steamy moments, it may not provide much in terms of originality.​

Overall, Frigid is a solid choice for fans of contemporary romance seeking a familiar, heartfelt story.​

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own

We’ve got Sydney, the “girl-next-door” who’s been secretly in love with her bestie, Kyler, for years, and Kyler, the “man-whore” who can’t get out of his own way. Add in some college drama, a ski resort trapped in a blizzard, and boom, sparks fly. But, like, also a lot of miscommunication that will make you want to scream at the page.

Here’s the thing: the chemistry between Syd & Kyler is on fire. But the constant back-and-forth of them both being too scared to admit their feelings gets old. Like, I get it, you’re both clueless—but it's SO repetitive.

The stalker twist? Knew it was coming as soon as the character was introduced. It was obvious, and honestly, I could’ve done without that whole plot. But—if you’re looking for a fast, angsty, friends-to-lovers kinda story where the romance and drama keep you turning the pages, then this book hits the spot.

Overall: It’s cute but low-key predictable. Perfect for a chill weekend read, but don’t expect a lot of surprises!
3.5⭐️

This book is the perfect read for the winter- and christmastime. The characters were beautiful, Sydney and Kyler were to strongminded.
I love a great friends to lovers story and Frigid was just that. I loved this book, it was a lot of fun! Frigid was full of humor, swoon worthy moments, very sexy steam and mystery. I must say Jennifer knows how to write a deliciously sexy lead man and Kyler is another in a list of sexy men by Jennifer. I liked the environment in this story. and the excitement with which the story was filled with towards the end.

Just like her others, I just couldn't stand the characters. I'm thinking that maybe she just isn't the author for me. I was hoping maybe her backlist would be just as good as her recent books, but not for me.

*Thank you partner @read_bloom for the #gifted copy.*

Frigid is an enjoyable read for fans of New Adult romance who appreciate strong character chemistry and an emotionally charged love story. While some aspects of the plot and character dynamics may feel familiar, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s signature style of writing—filled with tension, drama, and heartfelt moments—shines through. It’s not the most groundbreaking romance out there, but it delivers on its promise of a passionate and emotional journey. If you’re a fan of contemporary romance with some steamy moments and relatable characters, Frigid is definitely worth picking up.

Big JLA fan but didn't love this one as much as her fantasy series! Def a good winter read, though :)

A good pallet cleanser story. But any book with miscommunication in it will not get a good rating from me because that trope is my least favorite.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Frigid by Jennifer L. Armentrout!

3.25 ⭐️ this was a quick n easy read if you want a cute romance book. It’s not a favourite of mine but there were definitely still some cute moments between both characters. Best Friends to Lovers trope is a top tier trope for me always!

While I adore this author’s fantasy books, Frigid just wasn’t my favorite. As much as I enjoyed parts of it, I had a few issues that held me back from fully loving it. The constant misunderstandings and lack of communication in this friends-to-lovers romance became exhausting after a while. And while I liked both main characters, Kyler’s relentless womanizing was more of a turn-off than a turn-on for me. I still fell for him in the end, but he just didn’t hold a candle to Cam, Daemon, or Hunter!

Sydney, on the other hand, completely tugged at my heartstrings. She was sweet and endearing, but her constant pining over Kyler started to feel a bit too much—almost making her seem like a doormat when it came to him. While this book had its moments, I definitely prefer this author’s fantasy works, which captivate me so much more!

Childhood friends to lovers!!! They get trapped in a snowstorm together!!! Forced proximity, flirty banter. I ate it up.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I was captivated, and drawn in by this couple's complex and endearing friendship. This story left me with a huge smile on my face. Fans of this author or readers who enjoy a friend’s to lovers story should definitely try this out.

I really enjoyed this book. The friends to lovers narrative is definitely a favorite of mine. It was fun and well written. I love a steamy Friends to Lovers. I loved the chemistry between the main characters. Kyler was charming and sweet and Sydney was hilarious and their banter was amazing. This was a super fun and light hearted read.

Yet another amazing book from JLA. I’m usually not a friends to lovers kind of reader but this…this book was incredible. The characters were so relatable. I was hooked the entire book. Thank you NetGalley for the early copy to read and review.

I enjoyed reading this story, the relationship between the couple was complex and I liked the friendship they had. The characters really brought the story to life for me.

Loved this book! Perfect for the winter and holiday. A fun and steamy romance perfect for cold weather! It’s an enjoyable book with some drama but not too serious.
