Bad-girl criminal defense attorney Jena McCade has finally found her bad-boy sexual equal. Professional hockey player Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie is everything she's ever wanted in a man. He's gorgeous, he's incredibly talented...and he's temporary! Still, when Tommy shows up on her doorstep after being injured, Jena can't resist offering him some very physical therapy....Tommy wants out of the rat race - almost as badly as he wants Jena! Since their one-night stand, she's been on his mind and in his dreams. And now he finally has the sexy D.A. right where he wants her - in his bed, exciting him, delighting him. The problem? Jena considers their relationship a fling...nothing more. But even Tommy knows that possession is nine-tenths of the law. And once he's stolen Jena's heart, she's not getting it back....

A Blaze not to be missed!

FIRE AND ICE by Tori Carrington is exactly what I pictured the Blaze line as being. Sizzling characters. Dialogue that is snappy. Love scenes that are scorchers. If you want to experience Blaze at its best, pick up FIRE AND ICE.This is one book that made me stay up late to finish, because I did not want to put it down. The writing team of Tori Carrington is fast establishing themselves as one of the hottest authors at Harlequin Books and it shouldn't be long before we see them also published elsewhere. FIRE AND ICE is a masterpiece work of art created by this outstanding husband and wife writing team.The story opens with Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie on Jena McCade's doorstep. The Hockey star Tommy had met Attorney Jena several months before and had a wild one night stand. He is back for more and she is ready for more. It doesn't take long for them to settle into a pattern of wild sexy nights and days learning about one another. But how long will it last? Both are afraid of commitment and both have issues going on in their life that needs settling. See how they resolve their problems, with lots of lovemaking in between.Another reason that this book scored with me is that not only did it have the main story (the relationship between the two) but it had secondary plots that kept me interested...from the trial that Jena was preparing for to the office romance.If you are looking for an excellent book, with both sensuality and plot, then you need to read this one.

delightful tale

Albuquerque Defense attorney Jena McCade finds herself drifting into daydreams of making love with LA Aces' star hockey player Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie after they shared an evening a few months ago. Even working on the high profile, media delight Glendale murder case can't stop Jena from dazing about the top ace in her black book.Tommy wants to shed his image ever since he spent the greatest night of his life sharing a bed with Jena. While recovering from a knee injury, he decides on a heart-driven whim to deliver a pizza to the woman who has taken over his mind. Without calling, Tommy flies from Los Angeles to Albuquerque and goes straight to Jena's home. Instead of wanting to eat a pizza, Jena makes it clear she wants to devour Tommy. As they share great sex in her home, he wonders how to convince the woman he loves that he wants to come home to her forever when she detests a contract that calls for eternal commitment.When it comes to a blazing romance placed inside an interesting contemporary story line that anchors the tale, no one quite attains the combo like Tori Carrington. The success of this writing team is the characterizations that seem so real that readers want the protagonists to make it. FIRE AND ICE is typical of Team Carrington with a delightful lead couple, strong supporting cast, and engaging prime and secondary plots. Fans will adore the hero, root for the heroine, want the heroic pair to find a forever love, and seek out their significant other for some cooling relief.Harriet Klausner

Smart, sassy, and sizzling! Very highly recommended

A one-night stand leaves both Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie and Jena McCade longing for more. He is a highly paid hockey player; she is a criminal defense attorney. Both are accustomed to working hard and playing equally as hard, never taking their sensual liaisons too seriously...until they meet each other. It has been three months since their sizzling night together, and both still fantasize about it. So when an injury takes Tommy off the ice, he decides recuperation at Jena's place is just what the doctor ordered.Jena decides that she needs a wife when she opens her door and finds Tommy on her doorstep. Her instant response ignites them both. Jena's sexual escapades have become legendary among her friends, and her sudden reticence in sharing her experience makes them all suspicious. Perhaps bad-girl Jena has finally met her match. Tommy is everything that Jena wants in a short-term affair, but she'd better decide quick if she wants something brief or if she is willing to risk for a whole lot more.Writing duo Tori Carrington live up to their blazing reputation with FIRE AND ICE, balancing steaming romance, hot erotica, rich character development and a delightful plot. While Jena and Tommy know from the beginning that they are perfect partners in bed, establishing an equal relationship proves much more challenging, especially with Jena making some rather stereotyped assumptions. Furthermore, Jena's struggle with career and personal demons reveal her vulnerabilities in a way that cannot help but endear her to readers' hearts. Fans will also welcome the return of Dulcy and Quinn from A STRANGER'S TOUCH. Carrington makes it difficult to wait for each new scintillating release, and readers will be left panting for the release of GOING TOO FAR in February 2003. Add FIRE AND ICE to your keeper shelf as it comes very highly recommended.
