REVIEW: Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart

By Jennie • Jun 14th, 2008 • Category: C+ Reviews

Dear Ms. Stuart,

I was one of many readers impressed with the first novel in your “Ice” series, Black Ice. I sometimes have problems with the power differential between your heroes and heroines, and though Black Ice was no different in that respect, the hero and heroine were nonetheless compelling, as was their relationship.
The [...]



REVIEW: Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart

By Janine • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Stuart,
Fire and Ice is the fifth and (if I’m not mistaken) final book in your Ice series, which features the agents of a ruthless spy organization known as the Committee. This one is all about the flamboyant Reno, Taka’s younger cousin.
Back in the third book, Ice Blue, [...]

By Janine • Nov 14th, 2007 • Category: A Review Category, A Reviews, B Reviews Category, B- Reviews

Dear Ms. Stuart,
Black Ice is my favorite of all your books — the ones I’ve read, that is. You have a huge backlist and I have not come anywhere near reading them all, but I’ve read several of your most popular titles, including A Rose at Midnight, To Love a Dark Lord, Moonrise, Nightfall, [...]



REVIEW: Ice Storm by Anne Stuart

By Janine • Oct 30th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews

Dear Ms. Stuart,
The latest book in your Ice series, Ice Storm, opens with a bang. Literally. In a prologue set sometime in the past, we are introduced to nineteen-year-old the heroine this way:
Mary Isobel Curwen had never shot a man before. She stood there, numb, unmoving. She’d never fired a gun before, [...]

Dear Ms. Stuart,
Summer Hawthorne, the heroine of the third book in your Ice series, is the curator for a Los Angeles museum that specializes in Asian art. She is also the owner of a blue ceramic bowl that her Japanese nanny entrusted to Summer just before she died. Summer's self-centered mother belongs to [...]



REVIEW: Cold as Ice by Anne Stuart

By Jayne • Mar 28th, 2007 • Category: C Reviews Category, C+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Mrs Stuart,
Some of your books I love. Some of them I hated. And some that I keep reading despite things which annoyed me. “Cold as Ice” is one of the later. I liked it a lot better when I first finished it but after a week of contemplation, all the little niggles are [...]



REVIEW: Cold as Ice by Anne Stuart

Dear Ms. Stuart,
Genevieve Spenser finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time when she arrives on billionaire Harry Van Dorn’s yacht. Harry is not only rich but gorgeous and charming, and his sexiness has gotten People magazine’s stamp of approval. He is known for caring about working conditions in his factories [...]



REVIEW: Black Ice by Anne Stuart

By Jayne • Jun 12th, 2006 • Category: C Reviews, C Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Mrs Stuart,
I’m glad to see you get back to your nihilistic, “don’t give a shit” heroes but somehow being reminded over and over that Bastien is such a man took some of it away. All right, I wanted to say, I got the picture the first time and you don’t need to [...]
