Book Description

Lord Chancellor Aaxis Thrane wants peace, an end to the war raging between his home planet of Sark and the ice world of Glacid, and he's willing to risk something far more difficult than a full-scale attack. He kidnaps Tayra, the Princess of Glacid, not to hold her for ransom, but to impregnate her and force peace through a political marriage. He knows Tayra is entering her annual fertile cycle, the blessed time when she is at her sexual zenith. After months away from home and his harem, Aaxis is ready for a new kind of war. Knowing conception is impossible without orgasm, Aaxis must convince his enemy to accept both his plan and his seed...

By TT reviewer Brenda Gill

Princess Tayra of Glacid is about to take a calculated gamble. One that will decide the fate of her planet and that of her people. She plans to let Aaxis, Lord Chancellor of Sark, Supreme Ruler of the ringed planet of Aktares and the sworn enemy of her people, take her captive. Already half in love with the Sarkian warrior, her plan is to make the virile Aaxis fall in love with her, marry her, and impregnate her. Only a son will unite their planets and provide peace for their people. Tayra is coming into her fertile cycle and she knows that once Aaxis makes love to her, he will be her mate forever, not able to make love to another woman. But she wants his love and commitment to their marriage, not just those caused by biological details.

Aaxis Thrane wants peace between their two planets. There is a terrifying enemy waiting to attack their two worlds and a union between him and Princess Tayra is the only way to achieve his goals. Unaware of Tayra's scheme, he plans to kidnap, seduce, and impregnate her with his son. A son that will rule both planets and unify their worlds. Aaxis knows that he must get Tayra to totally accept him and, before she can conceive, she must be brought to release. He doesn't believe the rumors that after making love to a Glacian woman, a man is hers for life, never desiring another. Both Tayra and Aaxis are determined to win this battle of the sexes.

ICY HOT is a beautifully crafted story of galactic intrigue and blazing romance. Aaxis and Tayra are two well-developed and combustible characters, each working toward the same goal, without the other knowing it. How they reach that goal makes for a hot, sensual tale filled with explicitly written love scenes and strong emotion. Readers who like their stories lushly sensual and steamy hot will not be disappointed in ICY HOT.

This is the worst book I have read in a long time. I bought it 3 weeks ago and have yet to finish it. Do not waste your money.

I have read several of McCall's stories. She has mastered the art of being able to provide great sexual tension. I enjoyed this book immensly. My one complaint is that it was too short.
