Fire and Ice edition by Gaëlle Cathy Romance eBooks Reviews
well holy wow at the twist! but then again, I knew all along, when the mother started acting weird. lol! but still, it made me say "holy s***" out loud when I read the revelation. I can't wait for what happens next! December is right around the corner!
I really enjoyed reading this book. The main characters, Emma and Charlie are very personable and believable. The vulnerabilities in Charlie are very attractive. It was a nice change to see a book written with the younger of the two main characters being so mature in her outlook on life.
The author paints a beautiful picture for the reader of where Charlie both lives and works. You can just feel yourself sitting there with the characters in their surroundings.
For anyone who is a cat lover, there's plenty of "cat action" in this book!
The ending is quite unusual (I won't say anymore as to not give away the storyline) however, it's nice to read a book that doesn't follow a predictable scenario.
I found the book to be well written and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Fire and Ice, by Gaelle Cathy, follows the love story of Emma, a student from Manhattan, and Charlie, a glass blower from New Hampshire. Emma had been stringing along three very different men prior to her family’s temporary move to the ‘countryside’ and the fresh air seems to drastically alter her sexual preference. Sexual tension knocks down Charlie’s door when Emma comes by. And she keeps on coming by, for conversations, moody dates and romantic dinners.
Written for the lesbian Mills and Boon audience, Fire and Ice flits between character development and plot devices. Emma is the young, naive, ‘straight’ woman from the big city. Charlie is ‘handsome’ ladies lady, pleasuring town wives while being artistic, independent and brooding. Both have backstories that fill out as at the plot progresses, making both characters more likeable, depending what your taste is.
Gaelle Cathy poses the question “Does love really conquer all?” in the blurb of Fire and Ice. When I first read this, I thought ‘Yay, lesbian love conquering all!’ Reading this question after I finished the book really challenged me. When the family secret is revealed (and I’m sure some readers, like myself, will awkwardly predict the secret), everything you might have been loving about the loving feels a little off. While the controversial twist is unprecedented in a ‘romance’ novel, what bothered me most was the lack of confirmation about said family secret. Things are left a little undetermined in my opinion and I’d prefer to have had closure, either way.
Without the controversy, I would have enjoyed Fire and Ice as a lightweight romance set within a comfortable plot. The inclusion of the dark family secret crossed lines I don’t like being crossed in my lightweight reading and I felt blindsided and betrayed by Cathy. I feel Fire and Ice is true to it’s name, two very different elements mixed together with predictable results. The fire melts the ice, the water puts out the fire and neither plot wins out in the end.
If you are keen to see what all the fuss is about, check out Fire and Ice and test your own moral compass.
Review from The Lesbrary @ [...]
This story has an unique concept and this is one of the reasons why this book is so amazing. It's about finding love but not one without a lot of complications. They have to deal with situations which you can hope that this will never happen to you. There is a dark past, an awful family secret, confusion and injustice. Can they walk away from the consequences of the past? Will the past destroy any happiness they might have dreamed of? It's not only grief but also a lot of happy moments and a lot of furry babies. You will cry, you will laugh, you want to scream and yell. You will not want to miss this story. It's captivating and the plot is very well written.
Twenty year old college student, Emma Beckett and her family are taking a break in New Hampshire after a vicious attack on a family member in New York City. They need a place to feel safe and heal.
When Emma meets glass artist, Charlie Campbell, sparks begin to fly between them. But given Charlie's colorful past and her reluctance to have a steady relationship, plus Emma's past history, their fledgling romance is struggling to ignite.
Just as Emma and Charlie are beginning to relax and love is smoldering between them, a deep dark family secret rears its ugly head. It's not only Emma and Charlie's relationship that is threatened, but also Emma's relationship with her family.
Will Emma and Charlie's love be strong enough to survive in the face of adversity? Does love or should love have the ability to heal and conquer all?
This is the second book I've read by this author. I liked the first very much. On the whole, the book is well written. The characters are multidimensional and the deep dark family secrets are well portrayed. I have to say, that I enjoyed the storyline in this book and liked the characters very much to begin with. But as the book progressed, alarm bells began to ring for me. The storyline seemed to be going off on a tangent that I neither liked or can condone. At this stage, I hoped I was wrong. (It wouldn't be the first time)! Unfortunately, once I got to near the end of the book, I found my fears were realized.
The ending is controversial and may not be liked by all.
Enjoyable and entertaining, I know I say that in a lot of my reviews but that is why I read,to be entertained and to enjoy what I am doing.
Hard to believe that this is a first novel. Very well done. Enjoyed the romantic roller-coaster ride the two main characters go on. The mother daughter relationship that is intertwined in the plot is fantastic. A great read.
A beautiful and touching romance with a very unexpected twist. Can love conquer all? A question that some of us have asked ourselves at one time or another. This story will renew you belief that it can. The end of this book may have you in tears as it did for me. But getting to that point is just so worth it, a must read!!
