~Synopsis~
Glass-doll beauty. A shy, proper smile. Georgette Montgomery is the
perfect billionaire’s fiancé.
Or she would be, if she existed.
A dark past. A smile that hides everything. At nineteen, Rae Grove escapes her disaster life by pretending to be other people—specifically, whoever the man paying her that night wants her to be.
Until she’s offered enough money for a one-way ticket to a better life. All she has to do is fly to Paris and pretend to be the fiancé of young business tycoon Cohen Ashworth for one month. Within an hour of meeting Cohen, Rae knows three things about him:
1. He hates everyone and everything.
2. He has abundant wit and a knife-sharp tongue.
3. He uses 2 to make everyone aware of 1.
Before long, Rae’s determined to crack open his unbreakable shell. Cohen’s determined to stay unbroken.
But no one escapes unscathed when two opposite worlds collide

~My Review~
If i had to someone up Ice Pretty Love to Someone who doesn't read or just to the general public I would say - Ice Pretty Love is a mixture between Pretty Woman and You've got mail.
"hope is a funny thing. When you're distracted, when you head's turned, it sneaks back in, even if you're sure you've banished it. Nothing can keep it out for long."
"I just wanted a picture of the two of us. And you weren't smiling, so we have to take it again."
So Rae got hired to pretend to be Cohen's Fiance for a month in order for him to land this big deal. Now Rae is in a profession that is frown upon. But although you figure out that she has been through a lot and seen things that no ones should, she still happens to be a kind person. Where as Cohen well he is just a mean ass. I DONT want to give any spoilers. Let just say that Rae does turn him into a better man.
"If I had two minutes left in this world?' he says. "I would spend them kissing you."
Now lets talk a bit about Sam - the wrong number guy. About halfway in the book you start hoping that Sam the only other person Rae knows in Paris that he either becomes her love interest or that he is Cohen - Lets just say i went AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW........
Just when you think this book is going to break your heart it goes and make you heart go all soppy.
This book is perfect for anyone who loves a good love story and specially for someone that is not comfortable with the whole detailed love scenes.
~Teaser~
“So you want me to change.” His jaw is taut.
“You need to change, or you’re not going to get what you want,” I
say. He needs to hear it. “And you’re going to be miserable your whole life—”
“I don’t know how to change!” he says loudly.
I stop, half-expecting the divider separating us from the driver
to roll down, but it doesn’t. We’re still alone in the backseat. I should be
afraid, should be recoiling the way
I do whenever a man raises his voice to me. But when I reach for
the fear, I don’t find it.All I find is…pity?
“I know what I am. What I’m like.” His voice cracks, just
slightly, but he masters it. “If I
could be different, I would. Do you understand that? I’m not like
you. I can’t slip on someone else’s persona like changing my clothes.”
That stupid twinge of pity turns into a full-fledged needle. I’m
very familiar with that shadow in his voice, because it’s been in my heart for
years. Self-loathing. At least I can escape myself by being other people. He
doesn’t even have that luxury.
Stop it, Rae. Don’t you dare feel sorry for him. He has everything
you’ve ever wanted, remember?
“That’s bullshit,” I say bluntly. “You can change. Anyone can
change.”
“Show me.”
“What?”
He turns his full gaze directly on me, and I lose myself for a
brief second in those ice eyes. “Show me how to be someone else. You do it so
easily. You’re getting paid enough, I might as well get some use out of you.”
“You mean like…give you niceness lessons?”
He grimaces. “I’d rather we didn’t call it that.”
“Well…” I hesitate.
“Please,” he says emotionlessly. And if I had to bet on it, I’d
say it was damn near the first time that word had passed through those perfect
lips.
