Synopsis

’Tis the season for mistletoe and holly, Santa . . . and suspense. And the gift that keeps on giving is Ice: premier thriller author Linda Howard’s breathless tale of a man, a woman, and a battle for survival against an unforgiving winter–and an unrelenting killer. Oh what fun it is to read.

Gabriel McQueen has only just arrived home on holiday leave from the service when his county-sheriff father sends him back out again with new marching orders. A brewing ice storm, and a distant neighbor who’s fallen out of contact, have the local lawman concerned. So he enlists Gabriel to make the long haul to the middle of nowhere, and make sure Lolly Helton is safe and sound. It’s a trip the younger McQueen would rather not make given the bitter winter weather–and the icy conditions that have always existed between him and Lolly.

But there’s no talking back when your dad is the town’s top cop. And there’ s no turning back when night falls just as Gabriel arrives–and discovers that the weather outside isn’t the only thing that’s frightful. Spotting strangers in Lolly’ s home–one of them packing a weapon–is all it takes to kick Gabriel into combat mode. And his stealth training is all he needs to extract Lolly from the house without alerting her captors. But when the escape is discovered, the heat–and the hunt–are on. And the winter woods are nowhere to be once the ice storm touches down, dropping trees, blocking roads, and trapping the fleeing pair in the freezing dark.

Goodreads review by Cheri on November 25, 2017

The first story by Linda Howard was just plain crazy. I just could not wrap my brain around any of what was taking place in this story. The 2nd story by Stephanie Bond was somewhat better. I did get several chuckles out of it. The h drove me nuts. I know people can be clumsy but good grief! At least......more

I only read Bluebird Winter, the final book in the Spencer-Nyle series by Linda Howard. This was Derek Taliferro's story, having finished college and medical school and practicing at a Dallas hospital.

Goodreads review by Jill on December 31, 2021

This book contains Howard's novella Bluebird Winter and Bond's novel Naughty or Nice. Howard's book is the third and last entry in her Spencer-Nyle Company series and it's similar to the second one: a young innocent woman is rescued by a macho man who thereafter makes all the decisions for her. Kath......more
