"I picked up my first book from this author by chance because I was struck by the title Cold as Ice. Now after reading a second in the ice series I am hooked. I could barely put this one down it took me less than a day to get through and I am ready to find the other two from the series. I love that the ice books carry mystery, suspense and love all together. Each character has a little bit of a bite to them and it makes them very enjoyable."
"Madame Lambert has a secret from her past that could jeopardize her future, both her life and her career as the head of The Committee, an undercover anti-terrorist faction in England.
Josef Serafin, a terrorist seeking The Committee's assistance to flee Africa in exchange for intel, is Madame Lambert's secret.
The history between Lambert and Serafin, told in brief, poignant scenes, adds depth and humanity to an otherwise strictly plot-driven romantic thriller (heavy on the thriller, lighter on the romance).
I was impressed with the sexual tension, the emotional underplay, and the complexity of the relationships in this novel. For the most part, the switching of point of view from scene to scene did not interrupt the flow of the overall narrative. I particularly enjoyed Lambert's point of view juxtaposed with Serafin's point of view. The male/female dynamic was very well done.
The only thing keeping me from rating this book higher would be the contrived plot. I don't know how Stuart could have made it fresher, as her techniques were all well executed. I just didn't end the book feeling exhilarated like I do whenever I read a five-star novel.
Overall, it is a solid book for anyone interested in thrillers with a romantic twist. The emotional underplay is taut and inviting throughout the narrative and resolves well in the end."
Wow...Another dynamic read in Anne Stuart's hypnotic 'Ice' series! The books seem to get inconceivably better each time, and "Ice Storm" was perhaps the most gripping story yet. The use of flashback to reveal Madame Isobel Lambert's history and transformation into her role as head of The Committee and reigning 'Ice Queen' was intriguing, and only Stuart could convincingly make a sexy romantic hero out of a coldblooded, calculating, and enigmatic killer like Killian/Serafin. The palpable chemistry and acerbic sexual tension between Isobel and Killian was stimulating and keeps you guessing as to whether they're going to kill or bed each other, or maybe both. I also liked that characters from the previous 'Ice' books were featured strongly in this one, providing nice updates on their lives and loves. Charismatic and commanding Reno makes another strong appearance in this, but he gets his very own story next...I can't wait for that! Another exciting thrill-ride in the 'Ice' series...5 stars!"
