On Thin Ice:

by Eve Gaddy

His voice promised midnight sin and passion. Attorney Gabrielle Rousseau lives her life by simple rules: Never let a man stand in the way of your ambition and never drop expensive lingerie at the feet of a charming Texas rogue. As sinfully gorgeous Devlin Sinclair helps her retrieve her most intimate purchases, Gabrielle knows she’s in trouble. His suggestive smile and dark smoldering gaze leave no doubt that he’d be happy to deliver on her long-resisted fantasies. None of which she can afford to indulge. Not now. Not with him. Devlin Sinclair is an attorney with ambition to match her own, and the new obstacle in her path to partner. Avoiding him is not an option, but sharing a case—at the insistence of her boss—is flirting with danger. Devlin makes her forget everything except the feel of his hands on her. Devlin knows the lady doesn’t believe in forever, but he’s never walked away from anything he’s wanted. He’s determined to share the pain that shadows her and find a way to teach her that what they have is forever.ON THIN ICE is sensual, sultry romance at its best—as only Eve Gaddy can deliver.

I downloaded this for free from one of Amazon.com's daily deals. I found the premise to be somewhat believable, the villan believable, and the heroine well rounded with classical piano training. However, I had trouble with the hero as a perfect adonis. Sure, he had his baggage, but this really didn't add to the story or how the plot unfolded. There was enough suspense to keep me entertained (I have a low suspense threshold) and plenty of romantic pheromones flying. However, the story ended too neatly, and this was an ok read. I would recommend for a rainy day if it is free again.

A nice short novella, a contemporary romance. The writing was tight and really good, enough that while reading I wan't bothered by a few problems: what I consider plot holes and "google translate" Italian phrases.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an intriguing story, but Was disappointed in character development and the end of book. It just ended in a 'jump the shark' way.

Kindle free ebook. A cute read...ending was rushed.

[Nitzan Schwarz · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a nice romance story. Good emotions, but I dislike the very fast falling-in-love process. I really couldn't point out why they fell for one another...

A decent quick read
