Great read
A wonderful story. My second book by Suzy shearer and not my last. I enjoyed the storyline and the chemistry between the characters. A wonderful read.
Kallista Robins (52) met Alexander Harrison (55). She might be instantly attracted to him but his obnoxious behavior left her cold.
Nick-named Alexander the Great by subs, he’s just that—a great Dom, but frozen-hearted and emotionless. He’s locked his heart away and fully intends to keep it that way.
But with Kallie, his world is turned upside down. Never having been in love before, or even allowed himself to get emotionally involved, these new feelings send Alex into a tailspin. But will fear send him back to being frozen-hearted?
And if he does, how will Kallie be able to stay in a cold loveless relationship?

Excerpt:
“You haven’t heard a word I just said, have you, Alex?”
“Sorry, Dan. No. Please tell me again.”
“What gives?”
Alex didn’t answer for a minute or so, but Dan remained silent. He’d pulled up a chair and lay back in the seat with his feet propped on the edge of the desk, waiting. Alex had leaned back in his own chair, staring at the ceiling. He let the chair drop him back to face Dan with a loud bang.
“Am I a cold-hearted, emotionless prick? A frozen bastard?”
Dan roared with laughter, then catching sight of Alex’s face, he must have known Alex was serious because he stopped suddenly. Alex tilted back again and studied the ceiling.
“What brought this on, Alex?”
“Pamela left me last night.”
“Oh well. She lasted longer than most. So that was her parting gift to you?”
“Yes. So am I?”
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
Alex sat bolt upright quickly. “So I am.”
“Look, Alex, you’re a caring, interesting, and involved man.” He sighed. “Except for one area. You refuse to get close to any woman you go out with. Tell me this, when was the last time you went out?”
“I took Pamela to dinner last night.”
“And what did you talk about?”
“Talk?” He shrugged. “Nothing really. We discussed the meal, finished eating, then went back to my place to play.”
“That isn’t going out. Going out is socializing, talking together, and having fun doing things together. It’s being together through good times and bad and sharing life.”
“Well, I believed she enjoyed our games.”
Dan shook his head and sighed. “You know what, Alex? I love you like a brother. You’re my best friend, but one day, you’re going to realize you’re all alone in the world. You won’t have anyone to warm your bed in your old age. Being in control all the time won’t get you a partner who loves you. You’ll be a lonely old bastard. No one to talk to, no one to love.”
“Love,” Alex sneered. “I don’t need love.”
“Don’t you?”
His vehement answer almost echoed, his voice rising as he answered, “No.”
Dan leaned forward, staring at his friend. “Just because your parents both failed miserably doesn’t mean it isn’t possible to have a happy marriage and to be in love.”
“Failed? Hell, Dan, Dad has just gotten engaged to wife number four, and I’ve lost count of how many times my mother has married. Any wonder I have no faith in that institution?”
“Okay, don’t get married, but what about love? Surely there’ve been times when you’ve had feelings for one of your subs?”
“I try to avoid that. You know I do.”
“What happens if you meet a woman and you actually have feelings for her?”
“It’s never happened, Dan, and I intend that it won’t.”
Dan loudly blew out a breath, throwing his hands up. “I give up. But I’ll tell you this, Alex. One day you’re going to get caught, and you won’t have any fucking idea what hit you. I just hope it happens sooner rather than later because I really want to see it.”

5/5
Very fitting title.
Very fitting title. Alexander is a great Dom, but is very cold. Kallista is a submissive and Alex is attracted to just her voice at first, but when he actually meets her it intensifies. This book hurdled me through a range of emotions. I have never read such a great BDSM story and this is the first time I have read a book by Suzy Shearer.
5/5
Great BDSM Romance
I enjoyed the story of Alexander and Kallista. He is cold and without emotions and he does not come near women, only when he is the Dom, because he is called Alexander the great. Everything changes when Kallista enters the club, then everything changes his attitude and the hope that he can find love with her again. This is a BDSM romance and also emotional and a tangle of feelings. What I loved about their story that this time was about characters who were a bit older. I enjoyed their story and can recommend it to read!

Steamy Scenes, Nice Story
I liked this story of 2 middle aged adults, the Dom with a crazy parental issue upbringing that he never has been able to get past. The female is just a strong personality but sweet Sub who happens to have an extra sexy voice that captivates him from the beginning. There’s just enough background in this story to make you feel comfortable with the characters as the plot gets going. I truly did want to root for the couple to get together, but I enjoyed the journey—for the most part. I did have to suspend disbelief a few times, imagining that the male could so completely change. That being said, if you like a HEA and a good experienced Dom/Sub story, this is a nice one to read.

Melting a Frozen Heart
Alex thought he had it all and wasn't looking for a long term romantic relationship. Having temporary relationships were working out until one of his subs popped his bubble about his icy demeanor. Now Kallie enters the picture with her sexy voice and Alex starts to think differently. Join the story to see how these two find a connection that they couldn't let go. Enjoy ?

Melting Her Dom's Heart!
This story so much more than I anticipated. It is not just a Dom/sub book but a heartfelt and emotional story of vulnerabilities, love and second chances. The story is about Alex and Kallie, the one who finally gets through and thaws his heart. I enjoyed every bit of this story and seeing the man behind the facade. The story develops nicely and is captivating from beginning to end.

Melting hearts
Alex was a man who had learnt to keep his heart closed and he had for the whole of his left until he met Kallie. She changed everything about him. Plenty of learning curves but a wonderful read.

Great erotic adventure
The characters are sexy and seductive so I was pulled into the story immediately. Who wouldn’t want their Dom to fall for them? Highly recommend this book
5/5
Melting her Doms heart
This book was a page turner. The characters sucked you in and had you feeling right along with them. Alex and his inability to allow anyone in was painful for Kallie along with yourself as a reader. The frustration was felt in the well developed story line and characters. As annoyed as you become with Alex you cheer for him and Kallie throughout the book. I was enthralled from start to finish. As events unfold you just hope their window to make things work hasn’t closed. Suzy Shearer keeps you wanting more throughout the whole book.
4/5
Spicy Read!
Melting Her Dom’s Heart is a spicy BDSM romance with a mature couple making a connection. For Alexander Harrison who refuses to ever get close to a woman, and has been deemed frozen hearted and emotionless, Kallista Robins will be his epiphany. A steamy nicely written journey through the erotic world with a man who discovers the meaning of love and then must overcome his personal vulnerabilities before he loses it. Good and entertaining read.

New Author to me - loved it.
Haven't read any of this author's work before but I'll certainly be reading more. I loved this book! Especially I love that the characters were older. I'm in my 50s and this was so easy to relate to. It was easy to engage with the two leads and I certainly wanted to kick the hero a few times. At one point was a very emotional scene and not only did I feel it, I was delighted to see it came from the hero rather than the heroine. It felt real and I wanted to give him a hug. I'd certainly reccommend this book, and this author, and will be going into other stories by her.
5/5
Loved it!
What to say? This book was great. I love the fact we got to see behind the Dom facade and see the man. I think Kalli was great to balance him. Have to admit I had the tissues out. Ms Shearer certainly can write heart-wrenching scenes. I like the fact that she showed how the things that happen in our childhood can have a flow on effect and it made mel ike Alex even more.
