Angel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her last day, the remote research station she's been calling home is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives...only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run.

Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman at their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable—and beautiful—place on earth. But what starts as a partnership born of necessity quickly turns into an urgent connection that burns bright and hot. They both know there is little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to survive against the odds—and possibly, the world.


Not very realistic, but a good yarn, so I enjoyed it all the same. I loved reading about survival on Antarctica and just wish more time had been spent on describing life on the research station. I liked seeing the growing friendship between Angel and Ford, and though the romance did come a bit out of the blue, I can totally see how being thrown together in such intense circumstances could do that.

But it does require a serious suspension of disbelief, so give it a miss if you're not into that kind of thing.
