Snowstorms, prophecies, and a fated mate who wants me gone… I’m not in Colorado anymore.
I thought working a double shift in a blizzard was bad enough. Then I stepped out into the storm, and it swallowed me whole.
Now I’m in a kingdom of ice, and the man in charge is Jack Frost. Cold, arrogant, and really not thrilled that I’ve shown up as his so-called mate. Jack says I have the filthiest mouth in two realms. He doesn’t know the half of it.
My warmth is a danger to his world, and I’m destined to ruin him and his frozen realm, or so the prophecy says.
He spends his days hunting for a way to send me home. I spend mine in his library, helping whether he wants it or not, close enough that his wintry gaze and frozen touch do things to my heart that no mortal nurse from Colorado should feel.
As Earth’s storms grow fiercer and his magic unravels, I have to make a choice. Keep fighting the bond that ties us together, or melt the ice around his heart before both our worlds break.
He is determined to keep me out. I have never been good at taking no for an answer.
Fated mates, forced proximity, and a grumpy winter king who rejects his own mate. A slow burn standalone fantasy romance with a guaranteed happily ever after and no cliffhanger.

Like stories where the male love interest fights his feelings for someone based on information they were given? Then, this is a story you might want to check out as there is a lot of fighting of feelings and trying to find information to save two plans of existence.
Jack is not too thrilled that his fated mate has arrived on his doorstep. Violet was walking home from work when a snowstorm sent her another realm. Their connection is deep, but the resistance of their bond threatens to shatter both worlds. It was suspenseful waiting for Jack to a cept fate and his emotions. Feelings of worry and anger are evoked as you read this story, but with its satisfying ending, your emotions settle.

This book was a lot of fun to read. It’s a different take on the holiday theme, focusing not on Xmas, but on winter itself. Violet Jones, nurse extraordinaire, is transported during a blizzard to Jack Frost’s winter kingdom, much to his consternation, as he recognizes her as his mate, who he believes is predicted to bring change that will destroy his kingdom (whether change equals destruction is a matter of opinion however). He attempts to push her away, while she is mainly interested in getting home. However, the mate bond doesn’t really care about what either of them want.
There were a couple of inconsistencies in the plot that stuck out. Jack tells a story of being born human and accepting the mantel of king to preserve his human family and village, yet later we learn that he is the son of the previous king by a human woman, and was raised by his father. The two stories don’t seem to go together. I can think of different ways to relate them, but I don’t know what the author had in mind, because she doesn’t ever clarify the matter. And during the confrontation with Gabriel, he says the mate bond with a human makes the king stronger, and that Jack was a fool to send Violet away, but he also seems to believe that she will destroy the kingdom. Again, the two ideas don’t seem to go together, and it leaves his motivations (other than jealousy) somewhat confused.
Violet is sassy, which is fine, but also very foul mouthed. Her conversation is liberally dotted with f-words, which I found overdone. There is some smex in the book, but it comes very late, all after the 80% mark. This book is much more story than spice. And in spite of the inconsistencies I mentioned, it’s a good story.

Healing Instead Of Destruction The problem with prophesies is the interpretation, always having several, depending from where you’re looking at them. A lovely romantic story about a nurse and winter’s king. Violet is a woman full of sass, not intimidated by Mister Winter himself – good for a lot of laughs. And Jack is trying so hard to be the ruler his father wanted him to be – his struggles are endearing, definitely because he realizes his error in time. Loved it, highly recommended.

This is part of a series with other authors I am enjoying, who are giving us these great seasonal stories. In this one we meet Violet, a nurse. She somehow, ends up in Jack's world and is his mate. Not that he's too, happy about it. Another great read from this author and perfect for the season. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I was able to get the ARC of this and it's so good. Alexa Ashe writes such good fantasy / paranormal romances. This one is no exception. Violet leaves her job at the hosptial during a major snow storm and walks right into another realm. The realm of Jack Frost. Turns out he is her mate but their joining is supposed to cause destruction. Or will it?
A short walk in the blizzard and Violet finds herself in the realm of Jack Frost. His manners seem as frosty as his heart. Violet just wants to go home, yet she is drawn to Jack like nothing she has experienced before. The problems in his realm are tied to earth and he believes Violet will only make things worse. Jack however has never had a battle of the wills with Violet and he is in for far more than he imagined. Can Violet melt his frosty heart and find a solution for both her realm and his before it's all destroyed? A delightfully engaging tale of winters magic and it's King.
I loved it. It was a cute, adorable quick read. Perfect to match a cold Minnesota evening. The dialogue was good, the concept thoroughly flushed and the ending was not a disappointment. Even the short length was perfect bit size. Well done
Another amazing story by Alexa Ashe. This is an intriguing, witty, charming, spellbinding and magical story that had me swooning, on the edge of my seat and smiling in the end. I absolutely loved going on this journey with Jack Frost and Violet. Great story!
This is a really fun winter romance featuring Jack Frost and his fated mate. I really enjoyed getting to know this Jack Frost as well as Violet and thought they had an interesting story. The world building in this book is really good and draws you into the beautiful winter realm Jack rules over. It has some unexpected plot twists and I was happy with how things turned out for Jack and Violet and while it leaves off in a good place it might be nice to revisit this world and some of the characters for a future book.

I enjoy a nice story with characters we wouldn't expect to find a little romance. It feels right to get into a story as winter starts with Jack Frost.
Jack is just as cold and numb as most of us remember from stories, but this one comes with a LOT of extra layers. He was doing his thing, not expecting VIolet, his human mate, to be dropped into his realm.
The book is a huge adventure. Although for me what makes it is the banter between Jack and Violet. She never backs away from saying what's on her mind, or giving Jack a piece of her mind with all of his dismissiveness. It really carries throughout the book.
Don't get me wrong there is TONS of action and major backstories that fill the entire book, but i like underneath it all its about finding the yin to your yang, and accepting chance can be a step forward not a step back.
Violet is walking home in a blizzard, she falls and wakes up far from home, cold, confused and freezing. Jack Frost was not happy to see human Violet, she’s the fated mate he never wanted. There’s a prophecy that his mate would destroy him and his world. Jack and Violet have a very rocky relationship, something is wrong with his world. Jack and Violet have a hard, dangerous journey ahead of them. They will face many obstacles and challenges, betrayal and disappointment as they journey to their surprising destiny. Violet will discover the truth about the prophecy and Jack will learn the truth about his father and an unknown brother. The fascinating story is beautifully written with incredible characters and a wonderful happy ending. I greatly enjoyed this book, very satisfying reading, delicious and wonderful 💕🥰.

A lovely winter story, with slow-build romance, magic, fated mates, humor, love and a HEA.
Nurse Violet is just wanting to get home after her shift at the hospital but a blizzard isn't letting up so she faces the frost and tries to get home. But she's whisked to another realm by the snowstorm and comes across Jack Frost who's not pleased to have her in his icy kingdom.
Jack is trying to rule the winter realm as his father would have wanted him to and isn't pleased when a warm hearted nurse shows up and he realises she's his mate. But Violet just wants to return to her world. Can she warm his heart enough that he'll help her return or accept her in his life?.

OMG 😱 this was a steamy page turner and the suspense was so intense. I was on the verge of my seat and I couldn’t even it down. These characters chemistry was revolutionary and the physical attraction was stimulating of passion. They couldn’t even fight the temptation any longer because they were falling in love with each other but it was forbidden he was a monster and she was a human. It was insane and the romance was sweet and spicy of magic romance. I definitely enjoyed and I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed.

As an addition to the Yule Be Mine Monster Romance series, this story fits in wonderfully. We have a mortal nurse, Jack Frost and his advisor Gabriel. Jack has always been told that finding and loving his mate would destroy his kingdom. When Violet ends up in his kingdom through no fault of her own, Jack does his best to push her away. I’ve loved everything I’ve read that Alexa Ashe has written and this story is no exception. It’s well written and the plot doesn’t bog down. I love the whole taking place in a frozen kingdom aspect of it as well.
Violet and Jack A whimsical story where a human woman melts the frozen heart of Jack Frost. A blizzard and magic has Violet in the realm of Jack Frost. He rude and indifferent to her, believing she'll be the cause of his realms destruction. Violet is no push over or one to be pushed aside. She stands up to Jack when no one else does. It's her persistence that get Jack to realize the truth behind an ancient prophecy and set the course of making things right again. Whimsical, entertaining, betrayal, dysfunctional family most definitely, fated mates, drama, danger, action, adventure, spicy and HEA.

Jilted by Jack Frost was a marvelous adventure of a fairytale character who controls winter magical powers, a human with latent healing powers, dangerous plots of betrayal from an advisor who has an unknown familial connection to the Winter King, and a prophecy that may lead to destruction of the winter realm and earth or the salvation of both. Love and distrust wrestle within our hero and heroine. Can they find a way to bond their souls and combine their powers to save their worlds or will they turn from the pull they feel toward each other and destroy the chance for survival. I throughly enjoyed the adventure!
Violet is a nurse who leaves work to walk home in the middle of a blizzard and ends up in another realm. She meets up with Jack the actual king of winter Jack Frost. The story follows her quest to get home while slowly falling for Jack. It is the perfect book to get you in the mood for the holiday Season with the perfect HEA.

This is a delightful twist on the story of Jack Frost. A once cold winter king is softened by the healing touch of love. A cold, dark kingdom transforms into a warm winter wonderland where frost reflects the colors of the rainbow. The ending is truly magical.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked this romantic story of Jack and Violet. It was a fun read and I liked how the prophecy actually played out.
The plot was weaker and more erratic than I was anticipating. I liked Jack's character, but even his growth came out of nowhere. It was a story that passed the time for a few hours.
This magical story is less about Yule and more about winter theme. It is very good. If you are looking for immediate gratification you wait a while since it is a pretty slow burn! So good!
