Fervor
His world is on fire.
A wrathful volcano is about to devour King Arun’s desert realm. With only days to total destruction, he dives through a mysterious portal in hopes of finding refuge for his people, but instead he arrives in a land of ice. Kidnapped and enslaved in this frozen hell, he spots her, his fervor. Her presence alone brings him into the full strength of his people, but his new power is dangerous and unpredictable. Somehow he must escape his captors and save himself, his kingdom, and the woman that is destined for him.
She has a heart of ice.
Princess Caprice Nue’mon of the Glissante is unable to touch another living soul, as one brush of her skin ends in icy, painful death. Caprice has a secret, though. She can control the freeze. Unlike the vicious and emotionless aristocracy of her kingdom, she craves touch, passion, and fire—all liabilities in the world of Glissante nobility. Dreading her destiny to marry a man she has never met, Caprice is still terrified when an enslaved giant frees himself—and runs straight for her. Kidnapped, she must save herself, rescue her best friend from deadly politics, and find a way home.

I typically don’t read many sci-fi books because I find there subject matter too far out for me. However, this book was not that. I was hooked from the beginning and really got into this story. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what happened next.
With his kingdom on the verge of disaster, Arun needs to find a safe haven for his people. Without many options and armed only with his father’s journal, he literally takes a leap of faith into the unknown. Arun ends up a prisoner in a land of ice and snow. Then he sees her, the one that sets his blood on fire, invoking hidden powers he can’t control. She’s his fervor, meant for him, and he needs her. Now he must find a way to get free, save his people, and get the woman destined for him.
Caprice, Princess of the Glissante, has the power to freeze with just a touch. Therefore, no one is allowed to touch her. Caprice can control her power which makes her feel the need to hide it from everyone in her kingdom, except her best friend. Promised in marriage to a man she has never met, Caprice feels obligated to go through with this for her kingdom. She is tired of living her life without touch and love makes her craves it. Her father, the King, has brought back new slaves and one of them is bigger than any she has seen before. There is something about him that draws her in, makes her feel things she doesn’t understand.
I thoroughly enjoyed the journey that Lynn Carmer took these characters on. I stayed up late just to finish because I HAD to know what happened. Towards the end we get a glimpse of who the next story is about and I can’t wait. Thank you Ms. Carmer for this world you have created.

The world-building in this novella is well done and believable. I found the story riveting and filled with characters that demanded my attention – some of whom I loved and some of whom I really disliked. The story is adventurous and unlike any other I have read. It flows smoothly, and I honestly felt satisfied with its length because it is so tightly constructed. The ending is satisfactory. I feel certain there will be a sequel, at the least, and, most likely, an entire series, as there are other characters, such as, Arun’s sexy brothers, the temperamental siren, Cameo, and the faithful, stalwart servant, Addy, all of whom, surely, will be clamoring to tell their own stories as well.

Good but just didn't do it for me......
Honestly the title says it all..... It was a good story I feel especially for a new author but then again I've read stuff in the last few months from very established authors that wasn't as good as this... It was a fairly well written and interesting story but it just do it for me,can't really find anything to complain about but it just didn't really do it for me... Would I recommend it ? Why not ... At .99 cents its definitely worth the effort... All the Best and Good Luck to you Ms.Carmer
Thank You

Solid 3.5. Some cheese, some weird dialogue. But overall not terrible.
