Surviving Ice, Volume 4 by K.A. Tucker

4.0

K.A. Tucker has done it again! I loved Surviving Ice! Seeing Ivy grow some roots and settle down was definitely something I was not expecting and I knew it would take a unique guy to get to her fall in love. I couldn’t wait to see it happen.

I like this series because it resembles the Ten Tiny Breaths series in that we see characters and side characters finally get their chance to fall in love, but I also like how each book somehow deals with the dark side of crime in different ways. In the first two books, it was the Russian crime mob affecting the lives of the characters. In the third book, the IRA and rebels in Northern Ireland starred. I won’t give away the group involved in Surviving Ice, but I enjoyed that perspective and I thought it was well done. She really does her research to create a contemporary romance with dark ties that don’t seem outlandish or out of place.

K.A. Tucker got me to care about Ivy when she was one of the less likable characters I’d encountered, which is something she’s always been able to do with every one of books. I really enjoyed her point of view and her adventure. I liked Sebastian, too. He was a quiet stranger with a pretty dark secret. I enjoyed getting to know him and watching him reluctantly fall for Ivy just as much as she reluctantly fell for him. It was great.

I highly recommend Surviving Ice and all of K.A. Tucker’s books. She’s my go to contemporary author and I love reading just about everything she writes, even if the synopsis didn’t initially intrigue me. She writes well and gets me to care deeply about the characters.
