Thoroughly entertaining with characters that were easy to love, Desire & Ice is an absolutely sexy and exciting romance. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Danny Patterson isn’t a teenager anymore. He’s the newest and youngest sheriff’s deputy in Surrender, Montana. A chance encounter with his former schoolteacher on the eve of the biggest snowstorm to hit Surrender in years shows him that some schoolboy crushes never fade. Sometimes they mature into grown-up desire.
It’s been years since Eliza Brightwell set foot in Surrender. So why is she back now? And why does she seem like she’s running from something? To solve this mystery, Danny disobeys a direct order from Sheriff Cooper MacKenzie and sets out into a fierce blizzard, where his courage and his desire might be the only things capable of saving Eliza from a dark force out of her own past.
Review copy provided for an honest review
Oh man, I don’t even know where to start with this review because there was so much I loved
about this book. Once teacher and student and now sheriff’s deputy and woman in trouble this couple’s chemistry was off the charts hot. Sure, it’s a little bit about the taboo of it, but most of all it was about their connection then when it was innocent and now when it is anything but.
Danny Patterson knows one thing when he runs into Eliza Brightwell, his former English teacher something isn’t quite right and he aims to find out even if it means going against the wishes of his boss, mentor and the man who offered him the job he loves so much.
Danny is one of those good guy heroes, but he proves that he doesn’t mind being a bad boy when he has the right motivation. Eliza returns to Surrender, Montana with trouble on her tail and when Danny winds up in the middle of it he knows he will do anything to keep her safe from harm and warm during the blizzard that has them trapped and he also aims to prove he’s no longer the boy she once taught, but a man who knows exactly who and what he wants.
Sexy doesn’t even begin to describe the sensual dance they begin when running from danger or the intimate moments they share later. What I loved is that despite their age difference, despite the fact they will probably send tongues wagging in this small town they simply surrender to what they feel and decide to give each other and their feelings a chance.
Given their history and the fact that they came through a tense situation together the speed of their relationship didn’t seem out of place and while I am perfectly happy at how this book ended, I can honestly say this is one couple I would really love to see again. Thoroughly entertaining with characters that were easy to love, Desire & Ice is an absolutely sexy and exciting romance.
Thanks Slick for the review
