Fire and Ice
Mystery, suspense, revenge, and romance abound in this fabulous novel by a bestselling author
Sheep farmer Bryony Whittaker already has every reason to hate Kynaston Germaine. He's forcing her father to sell their beloved Yorkshire farm, and wants to turn it into a dry-ski resort, of all things.
Then Bryn's sister Katy takes her own life, and Bryn's hatred for Kynaston can no longer be tempered. She vows revenge, and moves to New York to team up with Kyn's brother Morgan, who harbors a dangerous grudge against him.
Once there, Bryn's cousin Hadrian grows increasingly concerned by Bryn's obsessive need for retribution. But how can he watch out for her when the lovely Marion Ventura has already caught his attention?
The same Marion Ventura, that is, whose father's company is attempting to take over Germaine Leisure, making her the unwitting target of Morgan's deadly plot against his brother Kynaston ...

Pedig olyan biztatóan indult… aztán, amikor már a 23. oldalon egymásnak és ágynak estek (csak úgy, minden őrült nagy szerelem nélkül), kicsit elgondolkoztam, kell-e ez nekem.
Pozitívuma, hogy gyorsan olvasható.
Azt írja a fülszöveg, hogy Bryn volt a tűz… Kynaston a jég – nos, ebből kb. semmit sem érzékeltem, oké, Kynnek jégkék szeme volt.
Hadriennek és Marionnak tudtam drukkolni, ők határozottan rokonszenvesek voltak, övék a csillagaim nagy része, de Kyn és Bryn inkább nevetségesek voltak, ráadásul irreális az egész „kapcsolatuk”.
Maradjunk annyiban, e mű alapján Maxine Barry nem az én íróm.

A book for romance lovers.
Wonderful characters that come to life through the pages of this suspenseful and tense story. Faith Martin is a gifted author who pulls you into each scene with beautiful descriptive writing. If you like a tense but rewarding romance book this is the one to read.

Wonderful writing
What a glorious tale, it almost makes you believe in love at first sight. Must read more by this excellent author. I thought the detective stories were good but they are surpassed by romance.
I am now a convert.

No longer a fan
I have been a huge fan in the past and enjoyed the earlier books and in particular Hilary Greene. To me this is so different and I am wondering if she actually wrote. A weak story line

I enjoyed the writing style of this story - fast-paced with an easy flow. The characters were well-defined whilst the plots fitted the genre. I did not like the sex scenes and skimmed through those parts.
Overall, this was an engaging and entertaining read.
Worth a look.

Totally loved it. I like both the writing style and the story line. I enojed reading it very much, soon i'll read it again.
Един от най- страхотните романи, които съм чела, прочетох го на един дъх и още не мога да си избия Брин и Кинестън от главата.Много ми хареса как е написана книгата. 5 звезди от мен.
