- fun action adventure tale, with very strong atmosphere
- this was definitely more thriller/action adventure than I had realized going in and was therefore less on the overall romance; this felt like Speed, where the love was all adrenaline and proximity based?
- I wanted more emotional development; there was some but overall I wanted more

- this took a long time to reveal the reason being the virus in the ice
- it felt melodramatic that there was this BBEG company, and this element put it more firmly into the adventure category for me
- the first half was very exciting and I flew through it, but the back half felt too same-y so it took longer to get through
- Angel was the damsel in distress too often



- not overall super memorable other than big plot points and Antarctica setting
- one other reviewer also points out that the second half of the book was a downturn, with cheesy bad guys, plot, and dialogue
- I agree the ending was too much set up for book two instead of resolution for this relationship, and overall the balance was more survival over romance

Very action packed. Ford and Angel worked at a science station in Antarctica. But they get mixed up in a heist of some ice samples that contain a deadly virus. Next thing they know. They’re in a race across the continent for their very lives. They have only each other to depend on. It was an interesting story and it was stressful and harrowing watching the two run for their lives. But in the process, they fall hard for each other. I liked both characters. They were so different and kind of at odds at the beginning of the story. But the longer they spend out on the ice together, the closer they get. I liked their story. But beware, the story with the virus doesn’t end here. It picks up in the next book with a new couple.

Warning this book involves a virus people want for testing!!

This was a delightful listen! It’s got artic adventure, danger banging and a plot that keeps you riveted to the page.
