About the author

Award-winning author Christine Flynn was once told by a creative writing professor that she would save herself a lot of grief if she would limit her love of books to reading rather than attempting to write. Taking his words to heart, she dropped his class and wrote very little until fifteen years later when her husband gave her a Silhouette Romance which he'd received free with the gift-wrap of her mother's day present. She doesn't remember what he bought her (neither does her husband), but she remembers the book. As a person who had always found relationships fascinating, especially the often-complicated relationships between men and women, the writing she had always wanted to do had finally found its focus. Now considered "one of the genre's master storytellers" by Romantic Times Magazine, her work regularly appears on national best-seller lists, including USA Today and Waldenbooks.

Reviews

[Natalie Martinez · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I first read the back of this book I thought it was going to be so good. What's that old saying? Don't judge a book by its cover. It's the same old story....Ice Princess (Gwendolyn Corbin) finds a man (Admiral Harrison Monteque) who can melt her. This book didn't keep me up all night. It didn't make me feel anything for the characters. Neededless to say I don't like to waste money so I reaed it anyhow. Considering this is part of a series I knew how it was going to end way ahead of time. I guess I expected more from this book then what I got. I'm disappointed it could have been so much more. While I found Admiral Monteque interesting...I didn't feel the sparks fly between him and Gwendolyn. The magic just wasn't there.
