Good book… not top score.
And I hate not being able to give his book my five-star rating. But
I was thrown off the synopsis, and I don't like that.
Genevieve is a strong character, one who worked her way up and made
a good life for herself, despite how it started. However, while she
is very intelligent, she is a little on the naive side. And it
takes her a lot longer than the synopsis says for her to see Van
Dorn's true colors. Even when the action finally starts, she's
still trying to save Van Dorn, still thinking that Peter is a
terrorist.
Peter has one hell of a cold heart, but Genevieve manages to unthaw
it, much to his chagrin. I think Genny was perfect for Peter - his
balance, so to speak.
Although the book was a fast read, and good, it wasn't the
greatest. It took a little more than halfway through the book for
the action to finally begin, where the 'oomph' finally makes it's
appearance, and it still took a little longer than that for
Genevieve to finally see what Van Dorn's all about.
The ending, however, is just shy of perfect, but still excellent. I
would have liked to see a little more reaction from Genevieve in
the aftermath of what happened to Van Dorn.
While the synopsis threw me off, it isn't a bad book - I just
expected more. I really liked the first book, Black Ice. I will be
starting book three, Ice Blue, very soon.
