An author to date that I have read only one of her stories. I was of the opinion that I could take it or leave it, and mostly that was leave it. It had wonderful build-up at the beginning then fell into confusion in the middle and flat at the end. It appeared the author had an inability to write physical conflict so she hinted it could happen and then it just inexplicably didn’t.However, this is not a story of Surrender written by her. Now it appears her setting and some of her characters have been handed over to other authors to try their hand at. I thought I’d give Surrender another shot with Christopher Rice’s novella set in Surrender in the middle of winter. From my experience of his writing he was not an author so afflicted by Ms Hart’s particular inability.This is a story of a young deputy smitten with his former high school teacher who chases after her when he realises a storm is heading their way and she may be trapped at her old property, ill-equipped to survive the blast.It is sort of reminiscent of another story I’ve read by Vivian Arend – the younger man, older woman scenario – forced together by an icy blast. Apart from the women having an ex, that’s where the comparison ends unfortunately.This is a romp of the dastardly kind. Ex is a self-absorb crim who has dumped his ex-wife in the way of trouble and Danny is left to get her out of it and in the process make her fall in love with him.As always the people Christopher has created are real and passionate, his writing eloquent and his word pictures imaginative.It is, however, not one of my favourites. Perhaps because it was too short of a tale and I didn’t feel the immediate spark between the two main characters; or perhaps it was the gravity of the situation that kind of touched on the unbelievable.I was however glad for Eliza’s rescue. Can’t have the criminal element winning the day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fast-paced suspense-filled story that will warm your heart. *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2016* Eliza is an ex-wife who asked too many questions and has been sent on an errand to her ex's property in Surrender. She's also Danny's former high school English teacher. He had a crush on Eliza that turned into desire and it's never gone away even though she had. Now she's back and Danny is a Sheriff's deputy on a mission to ensure she is safe. But she's not. Someone is trying to kill her and she and Danny flee for their lives during a severe winter storm. Now Danny is all grown up and circumstances bring them together as lovers. Will they survive the night or succumb to the elements or the hunters chasing them? Can there be a HEA for two people who have their history?A story that includes the Russian mob, smuggling, a cheating ex-husband, an icy chase through the woods, and a touching romance. What more could you want? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great, exciting, adrelinine fulled ride this Story was. *by C***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2016* Desire & Ice: A MacKenzie Family NovellaBy Christopher RiceReview by Candace FoxGenre: Contemporary Romance5 Candi KissesNO SpoilersI have to tell you that until now I have never been able to get thru a book written by a man, but this story had all the classic elements of all of Liliana Hart's MacKenzie Stories and I am delighted.Danny isn't a scrawny teenager anymore and the object of his teenage desires return to Surrender 4 years after she moved away and married the wrong guy. A really wrong guy. Danny sees her and know what he feels now for Ms. Blackwell has nothing to do with his teenage fantasies, but of a true full grown lust of a man and a desire to make all the wrongs into right for Eliza.This story is high packed action thru a snowstorm from hell, 2 Knuckleheads trying to kill them and a hike thru said storm, but the heat between the H/h kept you feeling all warm and fuzzy.Excellent read Mr. Rice. I will be looking at your previous works now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66647141-desire-and-ice-a-mackenzie-family-novella-paperback-february-15](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66647141-desire-and-ice-a-mackenzie-family-novella-paperback-february-15) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
