Great Book

At first I was reluctant to read this book, since I usually don't like books where there is a lot of suspense, and where there is killing, but since it was by Nora Roberts, I decided to give it a chance. I LOVED it. The way she wrote it made you fall in love with the characters. It is impossible to put down once you start, and truly keeps you on the edge of your seat. One of her best books.

Hot Ice

Im a big Nora Roberts fan. Every book is a whole new adventure, this one is not an exception. This story keeps you on the run from the beggining to the end. Whitney and Doug are two incredibly strong character, they challenge each other and take each other on the same ground and at equal levels even when both of them have oppossite backgrounds. You get so deep in the story, feel the chace and want to find the "tresure" as much as them. Its a story that will keep you on your toes. I loved every pages. So go ahead and pick it up!

One of my favorites!

I was shocked by the low rating! I have read several Nora Roberts novels and this is truly one of my favorites! It not only contains a sweet romance but is full of adventure and suprise! I strongly recommend this book to any book lover, not just Nora Roberts fans.

Enjoyable...............

I still do not understand why such low reviews. I thought the Hot Ice was very exciting and enjoyable. Douglas Lord .thief extrordinare joins up with Whitney McCallister a Young Interior Decorater,to pick off some jewels. The book to me, was exciting from the first page on. I also enjoyed the lively banter between the two of them to final build-up in getting together at the end. I high recommend this book, I enjoyed this one more than some of her others. Please give this book a try, I think you will enjoy it.

This book never stops!

Every time you think Whitney and Doug are going to get a chance to rest and catch their breath, the bad guys round the corner and they're off again! This is the first novel I've read where I actually felt like I was running right alongside Whitney and Doug. By the end of the book I was as breathless as they!The story of the treasure itself was intriguing. The era of the French Revolution literally scoured out a chasm in history separating what came before from what came after and it influenced much of modern history... such as the rise of Communism which started within a century of the Reign of Terror. Nora weaves in the history of this era with sensitivity and grace. I could feel Gerald's pain as he tried to protect the Queen's treasure, and although I could never condone what he did after his wife and daughter died, I could almost understand *why* he did it.I also enjoyed the description of Madagascar and its indiginous (sp.?) people. Jacques was sweet and funny, and the villagers and their ceremony to honor their ancestors were interesting.Great work, Nora! I really enjoyed HOT ICE. This book isn't so much an adventure as a thriller. If you like fast action and sharp dialogue, this one's for you.
