Loading... Hot Ice (1987)by Nora Roberts
None. Nothing But Nora Week 2011, Book 6.(read count: 1; listen count: 1) (  ) FlanneryAC | Mar 31, 2013 |  Ice cream heiress Whitney MacAllister has an eye for the expensive and a yen for something new and different, so when a stranger hijacks her car seconds ahead of a trio of deadly thugs, she decides being kidnapped might be interesting. Especially when Douglas Lord hints at the prize he's hunting - a set of jewels once owned by Marie Antoinette. Of course, the way her abductor fills out a pair of jeans doesn't hurt... From a pricey Manhattan high rise to the jungles of South America, it's a race against death to find a fabulous treasure before a killer finds them. Classic Roberts, this still reads well twenty-five years after its original publication date. (  ) SunnySD | Sep 3, 2012 | This was a fun story of treasure hunters and romance. i love the places this book takes you and the adventures that find the characters trapped and in love. ( ) cenneidigh | Jan 4, 2011 | Heiress gets mixed up with a society burglar in a treasure hunt for jewels belonging to Marie Antonette after he attempts to steal her car. Usual love/hate story with survival in the wild and hitmen following them and attempting to kill them at every turn for the treasure map. (  ) Kathy89 | Sep 25, 2010 | Whitney MacAllister is a socialite (and interior designer) is carnapped by Douglas Lord (burgular on the run) neither of them expect what happens next and it's the adventure of their lives. He has some documents that suggest he can find the location of some missing Marie Antoinette jewels. The guy he stole the papers for wants them, he doesn't think he should give them to him. It's a bit of a romp of a book, the path is pretty obvious but it's a fun ride along the way. I enjoyed the story and the characters.

Rich, gorgeous Whitney MacAllister likes fast cars, vintage movies, and dangerous men. But even this jaded, high-living Manhattan socialite is taken by surprise when a stranger in black leather hijacks her Mercedes--just before the bullets start flying. International jewel thief Douglas Lord is used to living life on the run--part of the lure of his chosen profession is the thrill of the chase. But he has one iron-clad rule: he always works alone. Until now. Wounded and in desperate need of cash for what could be the glittering crown of his dazzling career, Doug reluctantly accepts the wealthy, well-connected Whitney as his new partner in crime. With the papers screaming headlines about the missing New York heiress, and a gang of cunning criminals in hot pursuit, Doug and Whitney take off tor the sultry wilds of Madagascar in search of a fabulous treasure dating back to the French Revolution. For Whitney, what began as a high-speed adventure becomes a race between life and death as she tries to outmaneuver a pack of merciless killers who coolly eliminate anyone in their way. For Doug, who has been betrayed one time too many, it's a chance to capture the elusive pot of gold and perhaps one final shot at redemption. For both of them, it's an exotic quest for meaning--and a surrender to an irresistible passion worth any risk--as a deadlly high-stakes game is played out to its terrifying conclusion, one that may have no winners or losers. Or survivors.… (more)
