Ice Falls by Jennifer Bernard, book one in her new Firelight Ridge series, is a romantic suspense, filled with charm, intrigue, and twists and turns that kept me engaged and guessing right up to the very end. Molly Evans and her three best friends, Lila, Charlie, and Ani, all misfits in their own way, have been together since childhood. When they meet up in NYC for an event, they realize Lila is missing; though she left behind some clues of where she might be. Molly feels strongly that she must find Lila, and this clever, strong, problem solving woman abandons her hard earned job in New York City for the wild, majestic, snow covered landscape of Firelight Ridge, Alaska. When she gets to Alaska, Molly meets up with gruff and handsome Sam Coburn, pilot, firefighter, supposed grump, and equally determined and clever fellow mystery solver, who flies her to Firelight Ridge. The last thing Molly expected was to get caught up with some local drama, a local FBI investigation, a death, a runaway teen, meeting her match with Sam and falling for him. Sparks flew whenever Molly and Sam were near each other, with Sam going into protector mode whenever he was with Molly.
In Firelight Ridge, you will meet the quirky and peculiar residents who take care of their own and when one of them dies tragically, there are a lot of questions. This drama is the tip of the iceberg in the remote town and Molly and Sam don't back away from finding the answers. With twists and turns that keep you hooked looking for the answers, justice and seeing if Molly and Sam have a future, you will be hooked from page one. I am so looking forward to reading more about this distant, interesting, beautiful yet isolated township with its wonderful mixture of fearless, independent characters; as well as more about Molly’s group of strong female friends.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The start of a great new series by Jennifer Bernard
What a fantastic beginning to a new series!! With tons of charm, wit, and intrigue tucked into every chapter of this story I couldn't tear my eyes off of the page.
Molly Evans heads to Alaska when she hasn't heard from her best friend for weeks. Why? Well...Molly found that certain areas in Alaska were so remote that traveling to the actual destination was the only way to find out if her friend was okay. However, never in her wildest dreams did Molly expect to find herself pulled into the middle of an ongoing investigation, even as much as she loved solving puzzles. Her dreams also never included a highly attractive man, and did I mention that he's the same man involved in the investigation.
Sam Coburn is hiding more than he appears, but as his attraction to Molly deepens his secrets seem less important. He's closed off, gruff, and alone, except for his dog, for a reason. That is until one feisty redhead boards his plane and he can't seem to help the pull that keeps drawing them together.
These two were fun and had a ton of chemistry from the get-go.
This book is packed from start to finish with an amazing adventure, plus it's fun, and it was intriguing to try and solve all the twists. On top of all of that this story also contained a ton of heart, and that is even besides Sam and Molly who have a strong connection. There is a strong girl friendship, a small town to fall in love with, and a story rich with laughter and love.

Wow! Jenny Bernard takes us back to The wilds of Alaska in ice Falls, the start of an incredible new series. Using her extensive knowledge of her home state, we are whisked from NYC to Black Bear, Alaska and then the remote area of Firelight Ridge, set near the incredible Ice Falls. Molly Evans leaves her cushy life in NYC to go find her friend Lila who has up and left NY with no explanation for Alaska. Enter sexy pilot Sam Coburn, who is as mysterious and he is brave and protective.
Soon Molly and Sam are embroiled in a slew of mysterious events, each connected and with growing dangers. Each turn of the page felt like I was there in Alaska helping Molly and Sam solve their puzzle(s). An interesting cast of town folk, the joys and oddities of remote living and the sexy Pilot that makes life more fun, may keep Molly in the wilds of Alaska forever. So many twists and turns I never saw coming. What an adventure? I laughed out loud often with the witty banter between Molly and Sam and may need to run away to the wilds of Alaska, as long as there’s a man like Sam waiting for me. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
