Hot Ice
DNF

Nora Roberts is an incredible author who has written numerous amazing books. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

The plot is plodding and replete with cliched villains and TSTL moments. The heroine is pretentious and annoying with her constant recording of how much the hero owes her down to the last cent. The hero, a supposedly charming rogue, is nothing more than a wastrel flitting from heist to heist spending his ill gotten gains on undeserving women.

The story never fully captured my attention and it was easy to put the book aside. I really could not care less if either the hero, the heroine or both were killed. Fans and newbies should look elsewhere for a better Nora book. ( )

I got a few chapters into this audiobook, all the time intriguingly aware that the story was familiar. But I haven't entered it here in Library Thing... It must have been 2-3 years ago. I have no memory of it, until I listen again. As I recall I enjoyed it, and if there weren't a million other books to read, I'd listen to it again. ( )

I never could quite suspend my disbelief long enough to really root for either of the protagonists... ( )

This hints at suspense, but really it's RomCom. A lot of it felt cliché. ( )
