Review On Thin Ice by Cherry Adair Book 6

January 18th, 2010 | Book Review, Kindle book, Romantic Suspense 

On thin ice takes us to the Alaskan wilderness in the 6th book of the T-Flac series. This is the first hard cover book in Cherry Adair’s repertoire.

It is also available for $5.59 for Kindle.

Once again we learn another facet of the Wright brothers. This time it is Derek, a wealthy rancher, — and more.

The hero
Derek Wright is no fool, but he has been fooled by a consummate con artist, who had seemingly been a good friend. In the process he lost the woman he had come to love in only a few short dates. She, unfortunately, married the liar (who has since died.) He wants her to realize she wants him for a lifetime. He wants the whole package — marriage, children, et al.

The heroine
Lily Monroe is a veterinarian who is afraid to fly. Yet, when she is forced to the wall, she does it.

She learned fast that her husband was not what he appeared to be. But when she confronted him for divorce, he was dying of cancer. So she ended up nursing him until he died. In the meantime, she has overheard something that puts her life in danger. She isn’t sure if Derek is part of it, but has not had time to talk to him about it.

Derek appears to be only a playboy to her. He is away much of the time, and of course, she doesn’t know what his other real work is.

She nearly dies more than once. Derek is there for her.

Iditarod Race
Both of them race this grueling event. Lily is determined to win this time. Unknown to them she is being stalked by determined killers. Derek believes that they are stalking him. This puts her life more at risk.

The enemies
Not only is Lily being stalked (and shot at — and avalanched), there is a group of terrorists in the vicinity, hell-bent on destruction. Derek is the only one close enough to do anything about it.

There are a number of domestic suspects for Lily’s nemesis. I was glad it was not one of them that it might have been.

Violence
The body count mounts. First, one of the stalkers is done in by another stalker, in a gruesome murder that shows the character of the second man. Terrorists die right and left. We are not sorry. Along the way, Derek and Lily both take a few hits.

The love story
We hear the thoughts of both Lily and Derek. Lily is afraid to trust because her trust was violated in her marriage. Complicating matters is that her dead husband had told her that he was the man with the ranches and that Derek worked for him. She needs to sort out fact from fiction, but she has pretty much figured it out. Derek is determined to show her that he loves her.

Plenty of love shown physically. It’s more than sex, but it is hot, hot, hot, no matter how cold Alaska is.

Have you read this book?
So far, this is the book I have liked the most in the series. I give it 5*.

Reading the books so close together
It’s interesting to me to read the series altogether at one time. It’s easy to see comparisons within the books and within the characters. Each hero and heroine is distinct, but they share certain qualities. They may be flawed because of things in their pasts, but they march into the future, holding their own. There is a lot of loyalty expressed within the family and within the T-FLAC organization. The love between the each pair of main characters is strong and keeps them both safe against all odds. There is usually a bit of catch up with the other characters we already know and love.

Book 2 Kiss and Tell
Book 3: Hide and Seek
Book 4: In too deep
Book 5: Out of Sight
Book 7:Hot Ice
