When a mysterious stranger arrives in the village, he seems a perfect candidate. A noble gentleman who can rescue them all from penury. It’s been three years since Laura Hayes’s father died, leaving her and her invalid brother to subsist on the income from the family’s failing perfume business. Readers who appreciate character-driven, slow-burn romance, flawed heroes, and a firm sense of time and place will enjoy this one despite its minor flaws.

RECOMMENDED: A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews is 99c! Claudia reviewed this one and gave it a B: They both know there is little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to survive against the odds-and possibly, the world. But what starts as a partnership born of necessity quickly turns into an urgent connection that burns bright and hot. Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman at their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable-and beautiful-place on earth. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives…only to realize that in a place this remote, there’s nowhere left to run. But on what was meant to be her last day, the remote research station she’s been calling home is attacked. I wish I’d read the prequel novella first, but it wasn’t a huge issue, and I’m delighted to have a new series to look forward to.Īngel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. I love romantic suspense with survival elements (especially cold weather survival) and I also really enjoyed the espionage/global threat aspect of the mystery. RECOMMENDED: Whiteout by Adriana Anders is $1.99! Elyse gave this one an A-:
