Hot Ice

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Anna Fields

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts weaves a spellbinding story of seduction and suspense, white-hot passion and cold-blooded murder in this first-ever hardcover edition of her classic novel...

Hot Ice

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 for 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 deadly high-stakes game is played out to its terrifying conclusion, one that may have no winners or losers. Or survivors.

With Hot Ice Nora Roberts reveals once again why she is the reigning master of sensually charged intrigue and high-voltage suspense.©1987 Nora Roberts; (P)2002 Books on Tape, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“You can’t bottle wish fulfillment but Nora Roberts certainly knows how to put it on the page.”—New York Times

“Roberts is indeed a word artist, painting her stories and her characters with vitality and verve.”—Los Angeles Daily News

Hot Ice

Reader tends to over do male lead making him sound less appealing. But once you get past that you will really enjoy this book

A disappointment

Whitney was not a believable character. She seemed more like a high school student than a grown woman. The worst of her books I have read.

fun

Well written. Witty dialogue. I wish that audible had more of this kind of offering.

You need to be all right with thievery as a main theme

I love Nora Robert’s books, but for me this was one of her lesser stories. There was too much emphasis on justifying stealing— just because the male character was a charming rake.

Cute book, some good laughs

I enjoy Noras books so much. I needed some easy listening, not wanting to keep track of a lot of characters. It fit the bill, it was easy, fun, interesting and I am sorry to say I think now have all her books. I enjoyed it, wish I could find more that weren't just four or five hours. I don't like short books. She just can't write them fast enough for me. Good book, worth the credit.

passed the time but not one of my favourites

I am a big Nora Roberts fan but this one was not one of my favourites, even for fiction the characters were just not believable.

Narrator

Narrator was flat. Almost put me to sleep. The book was very predictable. Not one of the better book. Wouldn’t recommend the book

#hatefakeaccents

The story line was ok. But the narrator tried to lower her voice to portray a male voice, which was terrible then putting on the fake accents made the whole thing not very enjoyable to listen to.
Just read it normally as you would if you were reading to yourself! We will pick out the caricature no problem

Major Disappointment

A waste of time but I perservered because I really enjoy Nora Roberts books. Don't make the same mistake I did. Trite and predictable.

So much fun

Will keep you laughing out loud. Love the adventure and the places Whitney and Doug went, they were so much fun.
