ARC Review: Mr. Frost: Goes to Seattle by Aimee James
Mr. Frost Goes to Seattle is the third part in the William Frost Series by Aimee James. This part is the continuation of the first two stories and should only be read after the first two parts. When we last left Will, he was planning to head to Seattle for his cause, but he was also planning on winning back the love of his life Kat with his friend Emily's help. When they are getting ready to board the plane, Kat shows up with her fiance and Will is thrown. He had planned to spend the time alone with Kat showing her that she belonged with him. Will ends up meeting up with Emily and they spend a night together. Emily and Will have grown close and have developed a strong friendship. Emily knows that she is not the one though and Will knows that she is right. Can he figure out a way to move on without Kat, or will they get a second chance after all?
Over these three parts, I have come to really like Will and even Kat. They fit together well, and the fact that they have such a strong bond and history makes them really great for each other. They have an ease to their relationship, and despite the time apart and everything that happened they are pretty much able to pick up right where they left off with each other. They are a natural pair, and the fact that they share common views and passions just makes their connection that much more real and believable. I feel like even though we got to know the characters better and saw a bit more of them with each part, we still don't really know them all that well. I would have liked to get to know them better, but all we really know about them are their feelings for each other and that they are both committed to doing good and being philanthropists. They have a lot of chemistry between them, and they always brought a lot of steam and attraction.
Overall, these three parts were all enjoyable quick reads with some nice characters. My main complaint with this series is that even though there were some great moments and there were some definite sexy times, these stories just didn't bring a lot of depth. I had hoped for a bit more with this third part, but I was left feeling like even though things had come to a conclusion that there was still something missing. If you are looking for a few short and sexy reads you might check this out. If you are looking for a deeper story though, these might not be for you. These are great for when you just want a little bit of story with some steamy scenes though. I hope that maybe we will get more of Kat and Will's story in the future though as I feel like there could have been more for the two of them. I look forward to reading more from Aimee James in the future and seeing what she comes up with next.

ARC Review: Mr. Frost: Goes to San Diego by Aimee James
Mr. Frost Goes to San Diego is the second
novelette in the William Frost Series by Aimee James. This story picks up right
after the first installment and should only be read after you have read Mr.
Frost Goes to Washington. Will has just arrived in San Diego and runs into
Katherine and her fiance. Will is surprised to find out that Katherine's fiance
is a lot older than he had first though. Both Will and Kat are committed to the
cause, but Will and Kat's fiance James are skeptical that the meeting will be
anything other than a photo-op. Disappointed with the way things turn out, Will
ends up meeting the young and hopeful Emily Taylor. They immediately click and
end up spending the night together. Emily tells Will about some things that her
and her friends are working on in Seattle and convinces him to make that his
next adventure. Will decides to enlist the help of his friends, including Kat
and her fiance.
I feel like we still really don't know much
about Kat or Will. It was nice to see more interaction between the two of them,
and I was glad that they were able to clear the air about everything that had
happened when they were younger. Since they hadn't seen or spoken to each other
in five years, there was a lot to be said and to catch up on after she just up
and left him. I will admit that I was a little turned off by the fact that
Katherine basically demanded that Will forgive her for her actions all those
years ago. Yes she apologized, but it just felt like she was asking for a lot.
It was really great to see the two of them open up to each other a bit more
though. I liked that Kat told him how she felt and was able to admit that she
had missed him. It was clear that they were both missing the way things had
been and that even though they moved on, nothing was the same as it was when
they were together and friends. I think that they have a really great
connection and a lot of chemistry. It will be interesting to see more of them
as they start to work closely together. I liked Emily a lot in this one. She
was so full of life and fun, and it was really great that she saw things with
Will exactly how they were. I also liked that she was so open about the things
he was feeling for Kat and about her helping him get her back. I think that her
and Will could be great friends, and it was good to see that they were able to
connect more than just physically.
Overall, this was a good addition to this
series and I thought that we did get to know the characters a little better. I
think that we still don't know them that well, but I am becoming more
interested and invested in them with each installment. I think that Kat and
Will definitely have a lot between them, and I can't wait to see how things
play out. This novelette was short, but still packed in a lot of steam and
heat. I am really enjoying these stories, and I love that they are quick and
easy reads. These are great for when you just have a little bit of time and
need a short and steamy read.I think if you are looking for something short but
well written with some hot scenes, you should definitely check these out. Aimee
James knows how to draw you in and keep you coming back for more. I can't wait
to get the next adventure in Will's story and see what happens in Seattle!

ARC Review: Mr. Frost: Goes to Washington by Aimee James
Mr. Frost Goes to Washington is the first novelette in the William Frost Series by Aimee James. These novelettes are very short, only about twenty or thirty pages each. They start with Will just having graduated from Brown. He intends to take the summer off before starting philanthropic work. He is happily with his best friend and lover Katherine O'Doherty, and is convinced that she is the one. He proposes to her, but she isn't ready for marriage or the one. She leaves him broken hearted. The story then picks up five years later, and while Will has continued his philanthropic ways he has also been engaging in his other passion, women. We get to see what adventures Will has in Washington before heading to San Diego.
The main problem that I usually have with novellas/novelettes, is that they are so brief that we really don't get to know the characters well. This story being even shorter, I feel like we barely got to see much of Will, and Katherine wasn't seen beyond the very start when she turned him down when they were younger. Will seems to be a good guy that has intentions of making the world a better place. He is young and suffered not only the loss of Katherine and their future, but he then lost his parents just five years later. I liked that he is determined to keep doing good though, and seems to be committed to his causes. He seems to be fun and easy to get along with, and remarkably normal considering his wealth and prominence. I am intrigued by Katherine and Will's future though, and it will be interesting to see what happens for them both. With Will heading to San Diego next, they are bound to cross paths again.
Overall, this was a good start to this series and it left me wanting more. I am curious to see what Will's next adventure will be and to see what awaits him in San Diego. This novelette was hot and there were a few steamy scenes. I thought that Aimee James did a really great job writing them and they were the highlights of this book for me. Being so short though, those were the majority of this story so far. I am hoping that we will get a bit more of the characters in the next two installments, as I really feel like we don't know them that well yet. If you are looking for a short and sexy read, I would recommend giving this one a shot.
