Unfrozen Four #4
Six Years
Luan Hayes is charming, caring, determined, and talks a lot. He knows how to never leave space for awkward silence.
Looking at him, he almost seems like a perfect human, but everyone has their demons in some ways, even those who shine as bright as the sun with their positivity.
Grey Davis keeps to himself. He’s quiet, observant, and prefers to keep his distance to those who seem more like a complication than simplicity.
His family means everything to him, and he would sacrifice his happiness to keep the people he loves.
But could two opposites even work?
They live on two different sides of the country, rarely see each other, especially when one has a very tight work schedule. And it doesn’t help that Grey can’t possibly end up with a guy, ever. If he wants to keep his family, happiness and love come second.
Luckily, Luan is very patient and knows that whatever he wants, he gets, even if he has to wait years for a simple reply to his texts.
So what happens when the only choices left are family or love?
The answer is obvious, but perhaps neither of them ever thought family could turn into a weapon.

Last book in the unfrozen four series. Joelina ended with a bang. I was so excited for grey’s book and she delivered.
Grey and Luan meet each other one day on the beach. Luan likes grey immediately and talks his ear of. This book, as you can guess by the title, is over time period of around 6 years. So it’s definitely a slow burn!
In the beginning I really had to get used to Luan because he was talking so much. I’m more like grey. I’m silent, but a lot of people talk to me. So me liking Luan slowly was kinda like grey liking Luan slowly.
I loved Luan and grey. They knew they liked each other. They knew they both had stuff going on but they still didn’t give up on each other. Especially Luan. He saw grey and knew he had to have him so he waited. He waited a very long time but it paid off.
I’m so so so proud of both Luan and grey. Luan for overcoming his problems and knowing when he is doing something wrong and calling himself out. We love a self aware king. And grey, for standing up for himself and putting him first instead of other people.
It was a slow burn but so worth it. You know they are soulmates because they just keep coming back to each other.
I loved how we also read about the other characters from the previous books. It’s such a beautiful friend group and I’m so proud for each and everyone that has had so many personal growth. The bond between Brooke and grey is also so special. I loved it.
This is definitely a bittersweet moment because now this series has come to an end. But it’s so worth it. I loved each books and I can’t wait to read other works from Joelina!

I am bawling my soul out as I write this, not because the book is necessarily sad but because I am
heartbroken
that this series is now over.
I am very picky when it comes to five stars reads, but this author just pulls out reactions from me that I didn't even know could happen.
This book is the perfect mixture of lightheartedness, comedy, romance, and trauma. Yes, trauma, so check the TW before you read.
Grey:
At first, Grey made me so mad but I understand why he couldn't just give in. When I tell you that I shed more tears for Grey because of his stupid ass father, you best believe me. That poor guy just wanted to live his life, love his family but whatever he did just didn't seem enough to the man who gave life to him. I wanted to see his father dead, and so I was quite pleased with the outcome of events, though I wish we would've gotten a few more detail on what happens to him in the end.
Overall, Grey's character was lovable. You could feel his pain through his words, and the love he has for Luan is honestly sickening, but in a good way.
Luan:
Oh, boy, where do I even begin?
Luan is the best (more or less retired) narcissist I have ever gotten to read about. I loved every bit of him; the jokes, the NSFW texts, the fact that he just wouldn't give up. He knew what he wanted and he did everything in his power to get it, or well, get Grey.
The fact that he called Grey by his full name all the time was both adorable and a little weird, but oddly enough, I liked it. It was definitely different from a simple nickname, which made it unique enough for me to swoon over it. I don't even know why.
Their character development was everything and present , and I was more than happy to figure that out. A whole bunch of books don't have character development, and as this book takes course over six years, I was afraid there would be no difference to them at the beginning of the book and by the end of it. But thankfully there was!
Sure, mostly their personalities stayed the same, but their growth was visible. The fact that Grey did what he had to do was the best that could've happened, as was Luan entering his life. And I especially loved that Grey didn't choose to do it for Luan but for himself.
Luan also made a huge development and learned what he had to, which I don't want to name because of spoilers.
Overall, this book owns my whole heart and I would sell my soul, and both of my tits, to read it for the first time again.
Little side note; the inclusivity in this series is probably one of my most favourite aspects.

When Gray described in an entire page his distrust of humans except his three friends, I wanted to give up on the book.
There is a limit to the amount of variations to say the exact same thing and dig about it.
But it was Luan who made me finally give up,
Flirts with him for hours (quite oppressive actually), then tells him "if you want to find me you will"?!
enough

Thank you to the author Joelina Falk for the copy of this arc
I think that the concept of this book was an interesting one and was one of the reasons I was so interested in reading this
Grey Davis is the (secret) son of the ceo of the li company. He is a professional hockey player alongside two of his friends, Aaron and Colin, who each have their own book in the series. Grey is your typical grumpy character but you just can’t help but love him. He is often seen as the mum of his friendship group.
Luan Hayes is this child of a ceo who is not very fond of greys father. Grey is a character who has been through a lot in his life but is still lovable and joyful. He works as a soccer coach for girls football clubs, he teacher all ages up to 19. Whilst he is a sunshine character he is also trying to change who he was and right any wrongs he may have made before.
I think the character development of these two not only as a couple but as their own separate people is amazing. I loved seeing their relationship bloom from one of a friendship nature to that of a romantic nature. In my opinion Grey and luan are amazing characters on there own and even better when their together. Luan helps grey get out of his comfort zone and grey listens to Luan whenever he needs someone to just sit there and listen to heat he has to say.
Thought the book there wasn’t a single moment where is was bored or thinking I wanted it to be over I had so much fun reading this.

i knew i would love this story since i met grey (i've never met him, but still, you know what i mean). i waited for his story for so long, and now i got the arc, meeting him before anyone else.
and god, i loved this story. from the first line to the last, i enjoyed every second of it. my heart broke for grey, but at the same time, it was so sweet to see him with his friends and with luan. if i loved grey, then i need to say i liked luan too. he had a dream, and he made it reality. he was so funny and persuasive. he wanted grey and he got him.
it was so nice to see them throughout the years, to see them fall in love, accept who they are, and cherish what they have.
if there was a character i didn't like, it would be grey's father.
in the end, i would like to say that i love grey and luan. their story and the way they came together give you hope that everything will turn out well if you really want it and work for it. not to mention that this story is my favorite.
p.s: i need to thank joelina for sending me this amazing book. i'm so happy i read nine days and discovered this beautiful series.

Ugh where to start? Well first, this book was amazing, the years changing over the time was so original, I loved it. Second, and I need to say it now, ATLAS STORM making an appearance twice in the book??? COULDNT BE MORE HAPPY. Anyway, grey and luan are the proof that polar opposite is a great thing in a relationship, the grumpy x sunshine was everything, I was eating it up. They are the proof that love overcome everything bad (aka a very disgusting homophobic father ew).
I’m so sad this series is over, but I’m really glad we’ve got to see a little bit of Brooke and Reece at the end…

Primeiramente, muito obrigado à escritora pela oportunidade de ler a ARC deste livro!
Esse foi o primeiro livro que li da Joelina e tenho que dizer… tornei-me fã!
Eu não estava à espera de amar este livro e estar tão envolvida na história!
Este livro é literalmente “opostos que se atraem” e eu tive diferentes reações enquanto lia o livro! Fiquei apaixonada 🥺, tive vontade de chorar, fiquei irritada e ri muito também!!
Luan é uma estrela brilhante que coloca um sorriso em todos apesar dos seus problemas e do seu passado... Eu queria tanto entrar no livro e abraçá-lo! 🥹
Senti pena do Grey, pelo que aconteceu com ele. Mas também terminei o livro dizendo “este gajo é o mais forte! Uau!"! Lutou pelo que quis e por quem ama apenas!
Eu tenho que dizer uma coisa! Eu li muitos livros que o pai do protagonista é horrível, mas este está no top deles! 😡 Que ser humano horrível e como é que é possível que um pai possa pensar em coisas tão horríveis e fazer ao próprio filho?? 🤬🤬
Apesar disso, há sempre um final feliz e o Luan e o Grey são tão fofos juntos (só um aviso: vocês podem ficar um pouco embaraçados com tanto spice 😳🫣🌶️)!
Apenas leiam, ok? Agora só vou ali ler os outros livros da série 🙈

First of all, thank you so much to the author for the opportunity of reading an ARC!
This is was the first book I’ve read of Joelina and I have to say… I’m a fan!
I wasn’t expecting loving this book and being so involved on the story!
This book is literally opposites attracts and I had a different kind of moments while reading it! I was in love 🥺, I wanted to cry, I got mad and I laughed a lot too!!
Luan is a shining star that puts a smile on everyone besides his problems and his past… I wanted to hug him so much! 🥹
I feel sorry for Grey, for what happened to him. But also, I finished the book saying “this guy is the strongest! Wow!”! He fought for what he wanted and for who he loves only!
I have to say something! I’ve read many books that the protagonist’s father is awful but this one get the top of it! 😡 What a horrible human and how is it possible that a father could ever think about such horrible things to his own son?? 🤬🤬
Besides that, it has always a happy ending and Luan and Grey are so cute together (just a warning: you can be a little embarrassed with all the spice 😳🫣🌶️)!
Just read it, ok? I’m just going to read the others books of the series 🙈

Last book in the unfrozen four series. Joelina ended with a bang. I was so excited for grey's book and she DELIVERED.
I am bawling my soul out as I write this, not because the book is necessarily sad but because I am heartbroken that this series is now over.
I am very picky when it comes to five stars reads, but this author just pulls out reactions from me that I didn't even know could happen.
This book is the perfect mixture of lightheartedness, comedy, romance, and trauma. Yes, trauma, so check the TW before you read.

As for a favorite? I don’t have one, I can’t choose in between these four books, plus I love the found family/ best friends groups growing with kids and wife’s and stuff, and this is just PERFECT ✨😭🩷
Love is love no matter what. It’s not something you have control over so you should let NO ONE shame you for your sexual orientation.

This book was adorable! The grumpy x sunshine trope...oml. Grey and Luan just work so well with each other. They are adorable with the way they talk about each other and flew across the country just to spend a little time together while they could. The romantic gestures!!
I also have to talk about how Grey fought for himself and who he is. No one deserves a life where their family doesn't support them or believes something is "wrong" with them if said person isn't straight. I'm sorry but you can't be afraid of gay people. There is nothing wrong with a man liking women and men or a woman liking women and men. You love who you love and there should be nothing wrong with that.
Grey has a beautiful family of friends who support him including his sister and mother. It warms my heart that he has people he can talk to and who are in his corner ready to fight for him.
Luan has lost so much in his life. I am overjoyed he has loving friends and parents that surround him. The talk of struggling with addiction is a serious topic. Not everyone understands how hard it is to go through and to seek help. Especially, if a person relapses. This book talks about many problems that many people face every day and the struggles they go through. It is not easy and I am glad she doesn't portray it that way.
Overall, an amazing and loving book. What a beautiful family. You can see the love that each of these characters have for each other and it is beautiful.

I dont even know how to explain how much this series meant to me. Means to me.
Every single book made me feel so many different emotions. To say I cried for each book would be an understatement. I SOBBED.
(in the best way possible)
Nine Days was the start of this series and one of my favorites. Lily and Colin had me wondering how it was going to end. Deep down I KNEW it would end happy, but the ending made me consider all the options... How would the series continue if Lily died? Aaron would break. Colin would break. Sofia wouldn't have even came back to Aaron.
However, Six Years is my all time fav in the Unfrozen Four series. Luan and Grey have my entire heart. Every single spicy scene with them made me feel the literal love that was with them. And the relationship building between Grey and Lily?
Died. Absolutely died.
This book has broken me in half. IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
this entire series is something that I think everyone should read and THANK GOD it's on KU bc that means that anyone really can!!
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of 'What if we break' and I am BEYOND excited to read it.
Brooke and Reece are going to make me feel all the feels I can already tell.
I can easily say that Joelina Falk is one of my favourite authors. I've never rated a book of hers below 4.5 stars and for good reasoning.
Honestly, thank you, Joelina, for writing these books.
Every single book made me feel so many different emotions. To say I cried for each book would be an understatement. I SOBBED.
(in the best way possible)
Nine Days was the start of this series and one of my favorites. Lily and Colin had me wondering how it was going to end. Deep down I KNEW it would end happy, but the ending made me consider all the options... How would the series continue if Lily died? Aaron would break. Colin would break. Sofia wouldn't have even came back to Aaron.
However, Six Years is my all time fav in the Unfrozen Four series. Luan and Grey have my entire heart. Every single spicy scene with them made me feel the literal love that was with them. And the relationship building between Grey and Lily?
Died. Absolutely died.
This book has broken me in half. IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
this entire series is something that I think everyone should read and THANK GOD it's on KU bc that means that anyone really can!!

To preface, I haven’t read the three books that came before this one, I just dived straight into the last story.
Six Years is a slow burn (praise the lord), and if you hadn’t guessed, the development of Luan and Grey’s relationship takes place over six whole years; I am in heaven. They met one night on a beach in Malibu. Grey is sitting alone, minding his own business, when Luan appears from nowhere and disrupts his whole life, and I can tell you, Grey is not happy about it. Luan likes Grey immediately, and when Luan wants something, he’s determined to get it.
These two took their time to get to know each other; they both liked the other and while they had some extremely complicated and deep things going on in their lives, they still made time for each other. And while Grey was quiet and reserved in the first couple of years, that only strengthened their relationship in the end; they slowly came together, built each other up, and helped each other overcome and weather anything that came their way, and there was a lot.
I don’t know if I’ll go back and read the other stories because I love who Grey’s friends are in this book and the tight-knit family unit they’ve created; it was so beautiful to witness. I am so glad Grey and Luan surrounded themselves with such loving and accepting people. I loved this book and am happy to keep this little family as it is.

I have mostly good things to say about this book. I’ll start off by saying that I loved both of our leads. If you go read any of my Goodreads reviews- you’ll quickly learn that good main characters make it break a book for me. And I’m this book- they made it.
Luan I loved primarily because I’ve never read another character like him. I think authors don’t typically gravitate towards writing a sunshine character who struggles with trying not to manipulate those around him and alcoholism. Luan was so interesting and I think I liked him so much because he was very flawed.
And then there was Grey- who I loved almost as much. He was quiet, but spoke with purpose. He acted the role as the “grumpy” one in the relationship and he too had his flaws. And he too also had unexpected layers. But Grey Davis was also a hockey player- which I’m a total sucker for.
The only two complaints I have is that there was a section in the middle when it started to drag, but it did pick up again and I loved it once more. The second complaint- I wouldn’t liked to see Luan apologize to Doro. I think she deserved better.
But other than that, a pretty solid book.

I love this book just as much as I love the rest of the series, why? Because This book had me hooked from the very first line. Starting off with this hilarious but relatable line.
“He reached a hand into my pants, feeling my wet—
Nope.
I press the off button on my phone and look up toward the sea, wondering what the fuck I’ve just read.”
If that hasn’t already convinced you to read this book, then maybe this beautifully written line will.
“There’s always going to be people talking about you, not liking what you do, who you are, trying to drag you down, so you might as well say f*ck you and provoke them a little more by loving yourself and being you.
People will love you, and the ones who don’t aren’t worth your time anyway.”
It’s because of lines like these that I love this book and all other books written by Joelina Falk, because She’s able to to go from funny and relatable to a heartfelt line.
I will forever & always recommend any book of Joelina Falk’s, including Six Years.
Thank you Joelina, for writing such outstanding books and for sending me an ARC for Six Years.

I really enjoyed this book, although I did kinda spoil the series by reading it I just couldn’t help it. It was a really good read, and very suspenseful.
I red this digitally, meaning it ending up being almost 800 pages, although the physical copy is only around 500 (this is kinda relevant). So anyway to get to my point there was only about 100 pages left for me when everything big happened. It took everything in me not to search up the ending (honestly I tried but couldn’t find anything). After the accident and Luan relapsing I was just so worried this wouldn’t end happily since there wasn’t a lot left. But then it did, so I was happy.
Anyway, trying not to spoil to much in this review, the book was really good and I recommend it. I may have rated the first book kind of harsh, I loved it as well but the message it was sending made me dislike it in a way, no the story but the message being conveyed.
I would read this book again, probably all the books, if the others are as good. Once again it’s a good read and I highly recommend it for the right audience.

5 stars
- sports romance
- opposites attract
- perfect mixture of romance, comedy & trauma
- character development
- lgbtq
Grey and Luan are total opposites, where Grey is quiet and grumpy Luan is pretty much always enthusiastic and can’t seem to shut up.
They meet at a beach in Malibu when Grey is back ���home’ for his father’s 50th birthday but they don’t really get to know each other until a bit further in the book.
The book takes course over 6 years and because of that the character development of both Grey and Luan was simply amazing. Grey and Luan both had a lot of stuff going on and the further we got into their story the more they figured how to deal with it. They both made important decisions regarding themselves and each other which made the story so interesting for me, I just had to keep reading to know what would happen.
I’m a bit sad the Unfrozen Four series is now over, but I loved every part of it.

☆ 4/5 & 2/5 spice
Please check trigger warning before starting this book!
I’m so sad that this is the last book in the Unfrozen Four series! I love how the timeline was laid out in this book and how we were able to see the character development of Grey and Luan, which was beautifully written.
I enjoyed the grumpy x sunshine & opposites attract trope so much in this book. Grey and Luan are such polar opposites, but at the same time so compatible for each other. It made me so happy to see their growth and resilience in overcoming their past trauma. Grey and Luan are such lovable characters, I love them so much!!
Tropes:
❥ Hockey romance
❥ LGBTQ
❥ MM
❥ Grumpy x sunshine
❥ Opposites attract

It was amazing, this book had me kicking my feet. I loved both characters and I didn't find it boring or hard to read it was just a generally enjoyable book. I think if I had to say I preferred Grey but just everything about it was great, the relationships and the characters. I would definitely recommend. I haven't read any of the other books so I can't really speak for them but even though it's technically jumping in at the end of the series it still made sense and yes there are a lot of characters but I don't think they took away from anything, I think the relationships were actually really sweet and the ending was amazing. Very cute and squishy and exactly what the book needed. It gets a little faster paced at the end which I wasn't expecting but it was still interesting.

Estoy un poco conflictuado con el libro , aunque es el que mas me gusto (aun no leo Seven Months)
Al principio me molestaba un poco las acciones de Grey si bien despues se van entendiendo cuando se profundiza la historia , hubieron cosas que me chocaron un poco.
El libro es adictivo eso no lo puedo negar pero en algun punto parecia que no terminaba mas y el giro que da en la ultima parte me descoloco un poco.
El desarrollo de personajes esta bastante bien y en cuanto al romance si bien al principio no me convencia del todo creo que esta bastante logrado.
Lo que si me pesa un poco es que la autora toca temas bastante serios y no creo que esten del todo bien aborfdados al menos en ciertos aspectos.
Aun asi disfrute de la historia.

This was an amazing book to read! I’ve never read a book with 2 guys as the love interests and omg it was amazing.
I absolutely loved how Grey and Luan was so different from one another yet they both so madly in love with each other. It was so sweet to read! I loved there relationship!
I also loved reading how no matter what either of them would go through for example luan when he broke his sobriety or told Grey about his narcissistic ways, grey loved him and cared for him no matter what still. The same when grey was in his coma, luan was there for him and stayed with him and even broke his sobriety because how much he cares for grey and that shows true love!
I 100% recommend this book

i saw a preview on tiktok and while it was a really really good book, something was off. i can't really explain but just something was missing or maybe the plot with greys father was too much, idk.
the smut was good, not nearly as prominent as in heated rivalry, but still very good. it's a mm romance and grey is a nhl player while his love interest luan is a soccer coach.
the book mentions problems with substance abuse, verbal and physical (just mentioned) abuse and many other topics like homophobia in sports, etc.

This book completely completely knocked everything out of the park. Like holy macaroni this was spectacular 1000 stars incredible. I thought I wasn’t gonna like it too much because of how long you know the title is six years. But because of the situation that the characters were in and of their personalities, it just made so much sense the way that the relationship evolved. I absolutely adored seeing everything going through the years for all of the different couples along with them and the ending absolutely tore me apart. It was spectacular. Just incredible.

*Unfrozen Four* is an intriguing tale about four friends who wake up from cryogenic sleep to find a world changed beyond recognition. The plot unfolds as they navigate through challenges and uncover hidden secrets from their past. Falk's writing is engaging, with well-developed characters and a gripping storyline. The blend of mystery and science fiction keeps the reader hooked, though some parts feel a bit rushed. Overall, it's an enjoyable read for those who love stories about survival and friendship in a futuristic setting.

“If you’re in love with me, Grey Davis, you can just say it.”
Gray and Luan were so cute. Both of them deserve so much and I am so happy for their happy ending! It was an fast read and I really enjoyed it. Gray and Mile’s friendship will always have a special place in my heart
“You’ll never truly live until you live for yourself. If you let others dictate who you are, make choices for you, you’ll never be happy.”
