Simmering Ice - Veronica Forhand and Susan Scott Shelley

What an excellent Novella. I loved so so so many things about this beautiful story. First of all the hero is a hockey player, and really does it get any better than that? Although Alec has a tragic past, his first wife died from cancer, his and Annie's story is very heartwarming. Annie comes from a family of over achievers and her mother has done a wonderful job of making her feel like she doesn't measure up. Annie is a beautiful and successful physical therapist, but her self esteem has taken a hit, not only from her mothers constant pointing out of her shortcomings, but also from a disastrous failed relationship.  The character development in this book is wonderful, and although I haven't read the other books in the series I felt like I had a good understanding of the team dynamics and the other characters. Alec is the perfect alpha male and I really liked that Annie was a strong female character. Fiercely independent at times, despite her insecurities. Alec and Annie make a terrific couple. I enjoyed this novella so much. It's the perfect length for a day at the beach. Although the other books in this series seem to have been written by an array of different authors, I can't wait to read the rest!


I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
