"Melting the Ice Prince" could've earned another star or perhaps a star-and-a-half for the uninspired plot, characters, and dialogue. The story held my attention or would have if the author had done some research on autism-spectrum disorders before she claimed Sammy had Asperger's. The autism spectrum is broad, but neither personal experience nor research has convinced me that Sammy would fall anywhere on it. I'm not sure the author considered the effects of a "massive stroke," either, but I'd have let it slide if autism spectrum disorders hadn't felt more like a cheap plot device than a well-considered choice. While I'm sure Amylea Lyn is well-intentioned, I think even the best intentions can spread misinformation and there's more than enough as it is. That said, "Melting the Ice Prince" is a decent formula romance if you can overlook the inaccuracies. Unfortunately, I couldn't. Honestly, my standards are always ground-low because I know how little TRULY talented authors write romance. Here I sit, though, struggling to recall being more offended by a book. Can't think of a time. This author knows jack about autism. Not one gotdamn bit about ASD. Yet, she's making money off of ignorance easily cured. I've not a shred of respect for this ignorant person. Someone should burn her laptop.
