And that the rest had been eaten by a polar bear. Until she gets a call from a police officer in Alaska, telling her that they found his leg. Assuming he just flaked out, Sophie is pissed. Despite his atrocious self-centeredness, she shows up to cover his race – except he disappears before it starts. It is in this role that she meets an arrogant habitual 5K runner, poised to win his 25th race. Despite the constant barrage of law enforcement officials who demand to know where her father is, Sophie has tried to live a quiet life as a journalist at a small Chicago newspaper. Known as a modern-day Robin Hood, her father has spent his life stealing money from wealthy businessmen who gain their fortune in nefarious ways, and then giving that money to working class Chicagoans. Sophie Rose has lived her entire life under the shadow of her father. From my understanding, her RS books are not quite as well received – but as someone who has never read one of her historicals, I found Fire and Ice perfectly enjoyable, if a bit convoluted. Unlike most Julie Garwood readers I’ve encountered, I am more familiar with her contemporary romantic suspense books than I am with her historicals.
