The Princess & The Jerk (Fifth Book of "Fire and Ice" Series)

She is sweet and lovely; he is abrasive and harsh. She smiles and giggles like a fairy princess; he sneers and mocks people like a jerk. Her laughter, good-mood and kindness of heart affect everyone and warm you like a mug of hot chocolate with pink marshmallows; his roughness and annoyed glaring, with his caustic words, irk and scare everyone and slap in the face worse than the cold stormy wind. She is bright and pure of heart; he is gloomy and a coward of heart. Apparently.
Until the point Sergey Lebedev must finally confront the person whom he hates the most: himself. He will have to face his resentment for Anatoly Denisov, having to realize if it really is hate and not just anger and envy; the eternal conflicting, strained relationship with his cousin Sasha; the problematic, difficult bond with a very strict father; his own prejudices, and his true feelings for the sweetest and most beautiful girl Sergey has ever met. He knows she needs a real prince, for she is a princess in his eyes, and one day he'll finally decide the time has come to grow up.
Viola Taylor never for once imagined Sergey could be someone she could befriend and be interested in, given his behaviour in school, his hostile attitudes and the way he addresses her: weirdo. Until, due to some circumstances, she sees him outside school, where the sneering mask slowly crumbles away bit after bit, allowing her to discover a completely, surprisingly different Sergey, who can smile at her bizarre stories and help in overcoming her fears and doubts.
A heart-warming, cute, romantic story of love between sweet, innocent yet very intelligent Viola, who believes in fairies and has a heart bigger than her, and the apparently cold and abrasive as sand-paper Sergey, a bully in school in dear need of Viola's magic fairy-dust. An easy journey to their love? No, as there is no effortless journey when you must confront yourself and win over your fears, even if you have wonderful friends and understanding siblings.
