It has a really funny scene where the hero is outraged to discover that the heroine owns a pink hammer. *lol*Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635753217472348567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-37806059538536657672007-10-20T20:25:00.000-04:002007-10-20T20:25:00.000-04:00hey angela, thanks for weighing in. I think it's ...hey angela, thanks for weighing in. I think it's interesting that you compared the writing to a screenplay. I think I would agree with you in that I do feel distance between myself and the characters. Maybe that's why I couldn't get all hot and bothered about what might happen to them. I am curious about the last book, if only to see a little gender reversal. I won't be spending money on it though...will wait to see if my library picks it up.sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-55829509840979669252007-10-19T19:10:00.000-04:002007-10-19T19:10:00.000-04:00So far, I fine Anne Stuart's Ice series bland.

I don't know whether it accurately describes your reading experience, but when I'm reading them, the books feel as though they are written to be neatly adapted into screenplays. Stuart doesn't really describe things and inner monologues aren't really very deep--and the dialogue is movie ready. Because of this, she created distance between myself and the books because if I wanted to watch a movie, I'd be watching a movie. I have heard good things about the last book in the series, but I'll wait and see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-81536303552980017572007-10-13T23:18:00.000-04:002007-10-13T23:18:00.000-04:00*g* There were two in the first person - To Die Fo...*g* There were two in the first person - To Die For and Drop Dead Gorgeous - both books I loved.

Anyways, the hero was called Bastien, that I remember. The scenes where he comes looking for the heroine at her home were more convincingly romantic, imo, than the relationship we get in Ice Blue. But like I said, I'm not a rom/suspense reader, so others may enjoy the book more than me. I was just disappointed to have such potential for a unique hero and not have it live up to my expectations. <BR/><BR/>I will see if my library has Mr. Perfect. I never mind trying out a new book if it's one I didn't have to pay for. lol.sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506176252223147658.post-91590868630208980922007-10-10T19:38:00.000-04:002007-10-10T19:38:00.000-04:00I've been wanting to read this book.

I'm not a big romantic suspense reader, either, but I've found a couple of Linda Howards enjoyable (Mr. Perfect, and the one written in first person--I can't think of the name ATM). I liked the first book in this series, though (Blue Ice? I think.). The villains were still over-the-top, but I thought the romance in the second half of the book was really well written.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635753217472348567noreply@blogger.com
