Product Description

Anidyr Bycall is frozen in her past, regretting words never spoken to the woman she loves and the one impulsive act that cost her all her dreams. Running from the courts of public and academic opinion in Fairbanks, she has landed in Key West. The nights are hot but she is colder than the glaciers she once explored.

Tending bar by night, she spends her days immersed in the research of her only remaining passion in life: the ice fields of Alaska. But trends may be improving when news from home hints that those she harmed may have moved on, and she can at least recover the papers and books she left behind. The respect and affection she once saw in Eve Cambra's eyes is gone beyond recall.

When a few innocent questions raise Ani's doubts about what really happened three years ago, she realizes she may have a chance to clear her name and reclaim her career. But there's no data to prove that Eve has thawed and that the fire they once shared can be rekindled.

Golden Crown and Lambda Literary award-winning author Karin Kallmaker brings her readers a romantic story of the icy north where passion may melt even a frozen heart.

Customer Reviews

Another winner from Kallmaker
Kallmaker's latest book is another great read.

Ani is an Alaskan, a budding glacial geologist, who has relocated to Key West due to her self-imposed exile. Yes, of course, she is running away! What is good lesbian fiction if a character isn't running away from something or someone? And yes, Ani left too many things unresolved when she fled Alaska three years previously. This leaves the door open for her to return to Alaska to tie up those loose ends, especially the ones involving Eve. And those ends are tied up very neatly, in Kallmaker fashion.

Populated with a wonderful cast of supporting characters (Lisa, Tonk, and Tan), this novel is the latest in the line of wonderful Kallmaker books.

Well worth your time, so dive in. Who would've thought that glacial geology was so fascinating??

Great character study
I must say, I enjoyed. It had a mystery plot in addition to the usual romance, and even the romance element could have gone in different directions at some point, I was pleasantly surprised by not being bored witht he same old formula.

But what makes this novel stand out is the setting (mainly Alaska but some Key West as well, the contrast works very well) and the main character, Ani, a geologist specializing in ice. Kallmaker writes about Ani's passion for ice in any shape or form so believable that you feel the cold chills while lying on the beach in warm weather, or at least I did.

Kallmaker really gets into the heads of Ani and her love interest in a way that is deeper and closer to the lines of a character study than romances usually offer. I was well entertained and will pick it up again for the fascinating and well written ice-talk.

Excellent!
Karin Kallmaker's fabulous description of Alaska made me chilly just reading it. As always, a lovely romance by a master story teller. Get it! You won't be disappointed!
