I will admit that I was hesitant to start this book, especially after reading book 1 just the other day, I was scared at what Angela had writen in this book.

Once I started reading 'Ice Cold Mint Juleps' I couldn't put it down, I was automatically drawn into Ash jumping into conclusions & causing fights. The drama just didn't stop... his hatred for London at the start of the book was a tad confussing. But things got better, as much as it could when people don't open up to one another... I'm not going to say to much more about this storyline, except where book 1 was alot harder to read, because of the content.... I found some of the content in this book just as hard to read, but for different reasons.

If you haven't picked up book 1 'Lemon Drops & Love' of the "Cocktail Series" I would only advise doing so, there are some triggers in the book... but 'Ice Cold Mint Juleps' can be read as a stand-alone. Although it is set 5 years after book 1, & the characters from book 1 are integrall to the storyline.

I wanted London to come out at the end feeling better within herself & Ash to be able to have the life he envisioned for them both..... I don't think I'll ever read a book by Angela & not have something tragic or difficult to read... I'm unsure how she can write such difficult subjects. But I found myself loving the growth made by London during this book. I can't wait to read what comes next in the "Cocktail Series".
