What I Loved
Characters
Rafael: Usually I'm not a fan of the cocky male characters that like to sleep around with woman, but I actually did really like him. It mentions his reputation as the 'Spanish Stallion', but he doesn't read like that type of guy. Thankfully.
Honey: At first I wasn't so sure about her character, the 'Ice Princess', but same thing as I went through the book and her history and her personality really opens up and unfolds. By the end I loved her strength and her character's kick ass attitude.
Steamy Action
As usual to all of Cherry's books a healthy dose of ass kicking, bullets flying, bombs blowing up and mix that with hot, steamy romance and you get one hell of an exciting book from start to finish. The book does start of with a fight scene and then jump right into the characters attraction. What is not to love about Cherry's books!
Rotating Point of View
We do get to read from both Honey and Rafael's perspective. Which I really do enjoy, we get to read their mixed up feeling and how they handle things. It just is done perfectly.
T-FLAC World
So this book is actually labeled in Goodreads as number 15 in the T-FLAC series, but it is written to be completely independent, it is just written in the T-FLAC word that Cherry has created. I haven't read most of the T-FLAC series, but I didn't feel lost at all for not having read them. I think there is probably things that have been explained in more detail in earlier books, but I don't feel that it hindered my enjoyment or understanding of the book at all.

Didn't Love
I would have loved at least one more chapter at the end. I'm a greedy reader and I want more of these two, I'm hoping they will make a cameo in another book.

Recommendation
If you have or have never read a Cherry Adair book you should read this especially if you like romance and suspense. A read that is completely worth it. ( )

Ice Cold by Cherry Adair was published by the author and released in October 2012.

Honey Winston has the reputation of being an "Ice Princess". Completely devoid of emotion, all Honey needs is her computer. Honey's specialty with T-FLAC is cyber crimes.

Rafael Navarro is a bomb specialist with the T-FLAC organization. He lost his wife after only five months of marriage and has vowed to never get involved with another agent again.

Then he finds himself teamed up with the famed Honey Winston. When a bank is bombed they must determine if it's a disgruntled employee or if terrorist are involved.
Rafael initially is relieved that Honey lives up to her icy reputation, but it's not long before he realizes her exterior is just a protective shell.
Although Rafe and Honey grew up in entirely different circumstances they find they have a lot in common. Despite the vow each of them has taken to avoid involvement with other agents, some things just can't be helped.

When I know I'm going to read a Cherry Adair romantic suspense novel, I get geared up for action, adventure, suspense, and super hot sexy romance. This novel was a little off the beaten path from other novels by this author. For some reason I kept thinking about the movie "A Long Kiss Goodnight" and some sort of James Bond movie or novel. There were cool gadgets and tools the T-FLAC agents get to use, and old enemies come out of the agent's past to reek havoc.
While there was plenty of action , the plot wasn't all that cohesive. I understood it fine, but I was left wondering if I should have read a novel ahead of this one that explained Honey's and Rafael's enemy and the back story of Honey's relationship with this person.
The book was off to a good start, but at about the half way mark, the romance heats up, and the sex scenes go on for at least three or four chapters and the crime story took a back seat. I nearly lost the thread of the story at that point. When we finally got those chapters read, the story picked back up at a really fast pace and from that point on, I was completely engaged in the story.
I don't mind if there is an equal amount of romance and mystery/suspense. In fact, many of Cherry's books are written in that style. For some reason, in this novel, it was a too much and took away from the story which needed to keep moving at all times.
This was still an enjoyable romantic suspense novel and I would like to thank the author and Netgalley for the DRC of this novel. Overall a C+/B- ( )

Ice Cold
T-FLAC Series Book Seventeen
By Cherry Adair

Rafael Navarro refuses to settle down and allow another woman to become victim to his dangerous lifestyle. Fellow T-FLAC operative Honey Winston has no social skills whatsoever and prefers computers to people. When the two team up to stop a serial bomber that threatens the world’s financial infrastructure they begin with butting heads but soon something more begins to grow between them.

What I love about romance novels is that no matter what is going on around the main characters they can always make time for a kiss. I haven’t read any of the T-Flac series before this, which is a shame as the book jumps right into it so I may have missed something along the way with this one. I did enjoy it though, this is definitely a fun romantic suspense with tons of action interspersed with soft and tender love what more can you ask for? Cherry Adair brought to life a fantastic organization and characters that make this novel amazing. I loved Honey Winston, I mean who can’t relate to liking computers more than people sometimes? The only problem I had with the book is the beginning scene in Germany. I just came back from living the past three years over there and unfortunately a lot of the scene that Cherry Adair created was wrong. I don’t want to go into too many details because if you haven’t been there or haven’t been there recently then you will not even notice it. But if Cherry Adair hadn’t created such a vivid scene I wouldn’t be able to say with certainty that it is wrong. All in all it’s a great romantic suspense and I just might go back and read some more of the series.
