Search - Cold As Ice

Typical Anne Stuart novel. The characters are, perhaps, the least evenly matched of her dominant men and not-quite-submissive women. Despite that, I didn't want to put it down until the end.

This was okay in my opinion. There was a lot of foul language, which I didn't feel was necessary. There was suspense all the way through, which is good, but I found the romance aspect lacking. I will go on to read the third book in this series, as I thought the first one (Black Ice) was great.

This is a book has it all...suspense, mystery, romance, sex etc.
It will keep you guessing all throughout the book. I really enjoyed it.

FYI:
from Publisher's Weekly:
"In Anne Stuart's strong follow-up to 2005's spectacular Black Ice, supporting player Peter Jensen moves into the leading role in a romantic suspense story pitting him and other members of the mysterious "Committee"-a group of international secret agents-against Texas billionaire Harry Van Dorn and his diabolical plan to create seven worldwide tragedies for fun and profit. Unfortunately, the arrival of lawyer Genevieve Spencer on Van Dorn's yacht throws a wrench in Jensen's assassination scheme. While he could easily dispose of her as "collateral damage," Genevieve breaks through his icy veneer and he gives her the means to fight her way out of danger. The brilliant Van Dorn is wildly over the top in his depravity, easily outdoing the most shameless James Bond baddie, but Stuart's spare writing keeps the gripping story focused. Though too much relies on Jensen's failure to tell Genevieve about her client's true motives, and Genevieve herself is an inadequate match for the steely agent, the chemistry between them crackles. Stuart courts controversy with Jensen's lack of emotion and total body control, allowing him to use sex as a tool for disarming both women and men; her hero's sexual flexibility is bound to turn off some readers, just as it's bound to entice others. Those who take the plunge shouldn't be disappointed: Stuart knows how to take chances, and this edgy thriller shows how well they can pay off."

This was definitely one of the best Anne Stuart books I've read. The emotion was very deep but the conflict (is he going to do it...is he not going to do it) got a teensy bit tiresome buy overall did not detract too much from the book. I think all of Anne's heros are sexy. I'd probably want to kill them in real life but in my fantasy life, they're perfect.

2nd in Stuart's 'ice' series and another 'cold' hero. He has the job of killing her because she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Personally I didn't care for the woman too much so it didn't bother me if he offed her or not! ok, I did care I guess. anways, he had opportunity to kill her when he drugged her yet he lets her wake up and informs her he has to kill her then gives her self defense 'lessons' and pointers and later seduces her to prove he can make her 'feel ' something yet doesn't allow himself to feel...sorta weird..the woman is stupid IMO and the bad guy in this one is just creepy creepy for me but overall a good story and brings bastien back briefly as well as introduces the star of book 3 - ice blue. I like Peter better as he appears briefly in the other stories and can sympathize with him more.

A sequel to Black Ice, this is a good thriller by Anne Stuart. Held my interest. Was a fast read.

LEGAL EAGLE AT THE WRONG PLACE AND WRONG TIME....WILL SHE BE COLLATERAL DAMAGE OR SPARED BY "THE COMMITTEE"?

Genevieve finds herself in the wrong place and faces her own murder. Good thriller.

A MISSION

The job was supposed to be dead easy—hand-deliver some legal papers to billionaire philanthropist Harry Van Dorm's extravagant yacht, get his signature and be done. But Manhattan lawyer Genevieve Spenser soon realizes she's in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that the publicly benevolent playboy has a sick, vicious side. As he tries to make her his plaything for the evening, eager to use and abuse her until he discards her with the rest of his victims, Genevieve must keep her wits if she intends to survive the night.
But there's someone else on the ship who knows the true depths of Van Dorn's evil. Peter Jensen is far more than the unassuming personal assistant he pretends to be—he's a secret operative who will stop at nothing to ensure Harrys deadly Rule of Seven terror campaign dies with him. But Genevieve's presence has thrown a wrench into his plans, and now he must decide whether to risk
his mission to keep her alive, or allow her to become damage.,..

Very good read.
