Publisher Description
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.

"I read this years ago. It was a throw in Christmas gift from my sister who LOVES Nora Roberts. She has me reading her now too. I do like a good romance, so long as it's written well and Nora Roberts can write a good story. This is one of those books that you should read when life is kind of stressful. Why, you ask, because it's a no brainer and not alot of thinking involved. It's just a nice story line with cute characters."

" This was a fast-paced, well-woven story. Nora never misses, so not surprising that this was a good read. The couple, although good, wasn't one of my favorites. I just got done reading The Villa, though, and that was top shelf, so maybe it's my perspective! I did learn lots about Madagascar without the details becoming tedious. Loved the lemurs! "

" When work gets crazy, I break out the "Calgon, take me away" books;) "
— Alissa, 2/11/2014 -
" I absolutly love this book! I fell in love with the cunning theif, Mr.Douglas Lord. I find the love/hate relationship between him and Whitney MacAllister absolutley interesting and I just love the way they both tried to one up each other. I plan on keeping this book near so I can read the sections I fell in-love with through out the book. "
— Chasidy, 2/7/2014 -
" Entertaining. Nora Roberts' first foray into non-category romance territory. "
— Tina, 2/3/2014 -
" hmmm, it was just OK. The story wasnt too bad,I had the audio version and I think the monotone, smokers voice of the narrator just didnt do it for me. "
— Misty, 2/3/2014 -
" Found this different than what I expected- but I enjoyed the comedy between the heiress and the jewel thief - listened to it as an audio. I intend to read more of Nora Roberts. "
— Shirley, 1/21/2014 -
" This book was not the best Nora Roberts book I've read, but it was still fun. Not very realistic or believable, but a good story. "
— Amanda, 1/19/2014 -
" I didn't get past the first chapter - this must be the biggest lot of rubbish I've ever read. What was Nora Roberts thinking when she wrote this - Mills and Boon influence? "
— Lorna, 1/16/2014 -
" great book. loved the story and wish there was a book to continue the story "
— Jaclyn, 1/6/2014 -
" I ACTUALLY read a ROMANCE novel. It wasn't awful. It was o.k. A bit boring in parts, but it did keep me going. The sex is better in the J.D. Robb "In Death" series. "
— Georgene, 1/2/2014 -
" Good book about an adventure and treasure hunt. Fast reading book. "
— Jennifer, 12/27/2013 -
" classic Nora Roberts suspense. I loved it. The little bits of humor made tense situations even more enjoyable. "
— Ashley♥Alexis, 12/16/2013 -
" Not crazy about this book - too much detail, not enough dialogue. Really, does it really take 3 pages to describe a mountain? "
— Shawn, 12/12/2013 -
" I LOVED this book!!! Authors rarely write books like these any more. It's the perfect blend of romance with adventure/mystery. My absolute favourite genre!! "

— Yorda, 7/16/2013 -
" This book was fun. A bit more of an adventure than what Nora usually writes. It definitely made me laugh at points ant that is a plus. Would give it a 3.5. "
— Allison, 7/7/2013 -

— Joyce, 1/16/2013 -
" Honestly i never though a book about a woman falling in love with a thief written back in 1987 was gonna be that great but it was so much better than I assumed! "
— Brittany, 11/1/2012 -
" Certainly not my favorite Nora Roberts novel, but a good read. I liked the protectiveness of the hero, Doug, and spunk of Whitney. "
— Laura, 4/12/2012 -

— Saral, 2/19/2012 -

" Not my favorite of her books, but it was okay. "
— Kinsley, 4/4/2011 -
" This book was difficult to get into. The premise was exciting enough but it didn't pull me in like her other books usually do. It got better as it went, though. I finally became interested when we met the bad guy, Dimitri. "
— Casey, 3/15/2011 -
" Oh my gosh, so dated and so corny. I have a high corny threshold, but there are only so many times you can read the main character say, "listen lady" or "listen sugar." I think I just threw up a little bit. "
— Ali, 1/20/2011 -
" Not crazy about this book - too much detail, not enough dialogue. Really, does it really take 3 pages to describe a mountain? "

" WOW. IT HAS A WONDERFUL STORY. Whitney AND Douglas ARE ONE OF THE BEST COUPLE AMONG THE OTHER BOOKS I HAVE READ. THE BOOK MADE ME LAUGH, SMILE, AND ALSO TAUGHT ME SOME GOOD VALUE A PERSON NEEDS.<br/>THE STORY WAS ALSO ADVENTUROUS "
— yazz, 12/24/2010 -
" Ben scritto e forse il più avventuroso tra quelli che ho letto della Roberts. Per passare qualche ora in relax. "
— Manuela, 11/25/2010 -
" While it was a good book, it didn't have the feel of Roberts. Or maybe I should say I was hoping for one of her cozy novels where one can really get into the characters. "
— Lesley, 9/3/2010 -
" Slow to start for me, but couldn't put it down once I 'got into it' "
— Amy, 8/1/2010 -
" This was a fast paced fun novel right up until the end. I felt like the end lacked the same punch that the rest of the novel did. Good stuff overall, just not great! "
— Beth, 5/21/2010 -
" This book is suspiciously VERY similar to the movie Romancing the Stone...I'm not sure which came first. <br/> <br/>OK, so the movie came first, but there is still really good banter between the leads. I liked it. "
— Dyanna, 4/17/2010 -
" I love the banter between the characters. The author lets you know what the characters are thinking. Interesting insight into the characters. "
— Joanna, 4/7/2010 -
