A review by shandra
Arctic Fire by Keira Andrews

4.0

Trope fiction always has a special place in my heart. I'll read anything from trapped in an elevator to the huddling-together-to-keep-warm concept to aliens-made-us-do-it. I loved the cold driving the relationship between Kin and Jack in Arctic Fire; Keira Andrews shines as an author who excels at character development. There's so much to love about these two men in this short work from Kin's lingering worry he is the reason for his brother's death to Jack's PTSD from the IED explosion he survived in Afghanistan. They're men with real problems, real fears, and it's really easy to love them.

Arctic Fire is a really good example of Keira Andrews as a character writer. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying HEA in a neat package. I wouldn't say this was my favorite of her work given there's some editing issues which pulled me out of the story and it's very much an instalove story which is good for what it is yet doesn't immediately steal a place on my favorites shelf. Overall, I enjoyed it for a happy winter read with memorable characters and a much different setting -the Arctic Circle- than I'm used to reading. I'd put it at a solid 4 star read I'm glad I got to experience thanks to a Kindle lend from a friend.
