Hot as Ice

I've read many of Merline Lovelace's books and this is a new favorite for me. She writes great heroines and this one is no exception. I love a woman who can take care of herself! Charlie is such a sexy hero. The chemistry between them. It's been so long since I've read something really different and fascinating from Silhouette like this. Hot as Ice was such a treat! The plot was original. The hero-adjusting-to-modern-life plot has been done to death in the time travel romances Silhouette and Harlequin published in the mid 90s. It was nice to see Lovelace concentrate on the action and adventure that makes this line special. This story requires some suspension of disbelief but the author made it ring true for me. I haven't been reading as many SIMs in the last few years. I got so sick of babies and cops and cowboys and amnesia. This one didn't have any of that, just an original romantic story. More like this and I'll have to start up again!
