Description |
A masked man together with a burning secret is her only hope. A Heat series story. Aidan has only days to acquire a magic Globe to exchange for her brother-s liberty. Together with the clock counting down, she turns to Warwick the Enforcer for help. As her lies pile up and the passion between them builds, Aidan tries to keep her intellect on her mission and ignore the man who lights her fire. Warwick has spent his life preparing for revenge against the man who killed his parents and sentenced him to an existence behind a mask. But when Aidan calls in a debt he owes her, he cannot say no. The attraction he thought was one-sided explodes between them and he is shocked to locate himself burning to possess her. One thing afterwards another goes wrong-and Warwick discovers Aidan is working for his hated enemy. As things spiral into danger they could never have imagined, passion burns into a love this could destroy them together. This book has been previously published and has been revised and extended from its original open. Warning: This book contains out-of-this-world sexual content! |

 Held my attention 2010-07-09 |
| By E. Johnson (MS, USA) |
| I enjoyed the story and thought it was interesting enough to finish in one sitting. The female was hard, because she had to be and the male was sensitive enough to take care of her. I liked the action and fight scenes and was able to follow it. Now I don't think they would have lost control on those razor-sharp rocks, simple because they were in lust for one another--getting some would have been the last thing on my mind. |

| By Ashlyn (California) |
Icy Heat is was a surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable futuristic romance that was well written and kept the reader turning the page.
Aidan has to save her brother from himself once again when he lands himself in trouble with a gambling debt, promising herself this will be the last time she has two choices to save her brother. Steal a trinket or become a mistress, she decides to try her hand at stealing the trinket knowing she could never be someones mistress. But when she enlists War to help her she becomes to think it was a mistake because she's beginning to have feelings for him and regrets for using him.
War was disfigured when he was a child, since then he has always warn a mask to hide his face, but when Aidan asks him to take her to a party he will have to take her as a date. Meaning she has to see his face, and when she doesnt react he doesnt know if she's faking or not. But when he learns of her betrayal he has to determine if the feelings he has for her are enough, because very soon they are going to be put to the test.
Icy Heat is an entertaining short story with enough heat to keep your heart racing and enough suspense to keep you turning the page.

 Free ~~ Heat ~~ Interesting 2010-04-01 |
| By WhyMe? |
This was a free kindle book that I got a couple of months ago. When I read the product description it didn't seemed like something I would like. But I love to read different authors and genres, and I ended up surprised. Don't normally like things that are in this setting - planets and space. However, the setting doesn't impact the story at all - the only real mention is when they are traveling.
The heroine, Aidan, is a pilot trying to help her degenerate brother, an addicted gambler. The hero, Warwick, is an enforcer with only vengeance keeping him going.
The author set the two characters up well and the romance between them was well written. This short story is a great jumping off point - I am looking forward to other installments in this series. I am glad I took a chance and downloaded this book while it was free - otherwise I would have pass up a good read.

| Loved it! 2010-03-18 |
| By ccas (wyoming) |
I loved this title! It's fun, sexy, very entertaining.
The heroine is feisty, not falling all over the Hero, her own person. She's not mooning over oh lover where art thou? I like a no (or not too much) nonsense heroine that doesn't pout, cry over nothing, cringe, and otherwise wimp out. She can give a punch and take a punch after all this is an adventure. A tough cookie who doesn't mind enjoying one hot hunky guy without agonizing over it.
The Hero is long suffering and on the heroine's side. There are lots of bad guys and lots of double crossing. It's just a good light read. I did not think there was too much sex, it was appropriate to the story and relationship. I happen to like space romances and this is a good one.
I will read more of this writer. |
| Fast and Fun Light Read 2010-03-06 |
| By Tracy (Fort Myers, Florida, USA) |
Aidan is a futuristic transport pilot on the hook for her brother's gambling debts. Warwick is masked muscle for a corrupt businessman as he saves up for the revenge of the death of his parents. When they meet up, sparks fly and worlds tremble.
Icy Heat isn't going to win any "best written book ever" awards, but I really liked it. And I don't usually like or read futuristic sci/fi novels. Definitely character driven, this story is way more about the people, Aidan and Warwick, than it is about world building or plot development - and that's okay. I wasn't expecting it to be heavy in those areas. But what it IS is surprisingly GOOD with the characters.
Aidan is a control freak and has a history of not caring at all for physical contact. She's got a deep love and sense of obligation for her brother Zach, who is addicted to gambling and racking up big debt. I like that she's strong and smart without being a total bitch, and I was actually impressed with a particular scene in which she has to deal with the reality of killing a man. It wasn't focused on for long, but that there was any thought at all given to the complex emotions such an action stirs up, however accidental the killing, was a surprisingly fresh change on the kick-ass and almost conscienceless killer heroines of most urban fantasy/sci fi stuff I read.
Warwick is scarred and damaged from those scars, keeping his face and body hidden as his cold heart and colder life is given over to exacting revenge on the man responsible for his parents death and the scars he keeps hidden. When he meets Aidan and starts to spend time with her, his vulnerability shines through and makes him eminently likable. He really is what made me like the story as much as I did. The childlike confusion and wild hope when Aidan accepts him, scars and all, was so endearing.
There were huge gaps in the plot and I would've loved more definition in the world building, more glimpses of Aidan's and War's past, but it's a short book, more novella length, and for what's there, I was satisfied that the core of the story was well represented. It also had quite a nice mix of action and danger that was pretty deftly written. The sex scenes were steamy, too! All in all, a pleasurably satisfying, if not extraordinary read. |
