Merrick Thatcher went through a hell that no one could possibly imagine. He fought to protect his country, his family, and the men standing at his side, but it wasn't just being a soldier overseas that changed him. He watched his friends die in front of him, felt indescribable pain, and lost his sight in the very same moment.

Badly injured, blind, and angry, he's done with war, but now he’s fighting his own battle. So, he’s waiting for it to end, spending his days and nights in a thick darkness no light can penetrate. Until Grace walks into his life and his broken eyes open to a woman that changes everything for him.

A story about two flawed souls finding love amidst the grief. A love that shines vividly, even in the dark, and discovering that sometimes being broken is how the light gets in.

For readers 18+ due to language, violence, and sexual situations

Like many other foundations, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides assistance to injured soldiers as well as their families. SOWF also focuses on one of the most important challenges those families face; 'getting to their hospitalized loved ones as quickly as possible'. With grants immediately provided to the family, they can travel to be bedside with their loved one, especially for those crucial first days. SOWF also provides a scholarship program, family services (including clinical social workers, scholarship counselors, and family services counselors). With on-going support and helpful counseling to all families of fallen members in every branch of the military, they are able to help in all the ways that count. The SOWF was highly recommended to me by a recent veteran who served in Iraq. Therefore, I am thrilled to be able to help them in any way possible. Every little bit counts.

I live in Morgan, Utah with my husband, beautiful daughter, and a couple of spoiled pups. If I'm not deeply involved in writing my next book, then I'm probably reading in the safety and quiet of my closet. I love yoga – which I now practice regularly – playing hide and seek with my daughter (only to have my hiding spots revealed by one of the pups), and I love Fruit by the Foot, Twizzlers and Peace Tea. These are great ways to bribe me into revealing secrets about what's to come.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy talking about them, so if you like them, too, come find me.

Writing has become an enormous part of my life and every book I write holds a special place in my heart. If you read one of my books, I hope you have the same experience.

Hot Ice by Lynn Raye Harris

(Image found on Goodreads)

Iceman or Garrett has had a difficult go with relationships. And when he's given forced to protect Grace, daughter of a senator and a very intelligent scientist, with the express order not to sleep with her, he's annoyed. But when he gets past Grace's somewhat cold exterior, he finds the woman behind irresistible. But there are people who would kill to gain access to Grace's research. Can Garrett keep Grace safe and still get past his past? Find the official description on Goodreads.

At first we get to meet Grace, and I immediately just clicked with her. Mostly because she sounds very very similar to me. She was different than many of the HOT men's women as she wasn't immediately feisty. But she's gotten a hidden depth that few get to see and it was fun to see it come out. And Garrett. Obviously has had issues and is still having issues with the woman from his past. You definitely feel annoyance that some people can't put aside their differences for their child. And by that I mean, Garrett's ex-wife is constantly badmouthing him around his daughter and that severely annoyed me, even only hearing it second hand from Garrett.

Hot Ice is what you've come to expect from Lynn Raye Harris. A well written story, with emotional as well as physical conflict and confusing alliances all around. She's created characters that are flawed but you still fall in love with them.


Over all, Hot Ice compares well with the previous books in the series and from the set-up in the book, I hope Ryan and Emily's story is coming next!
