I really enjoyed this story because it was a nice twist on a mythological story. Ice (the modern incarnation of Egyptian goddess Isis) is living her most recent "life" school teacher in Texas. As penance for a "crime" she committed in her life as a goddess, god Osiris has sentenced Ice to be a phoenix. As a phoenix she gives up her life to save one...which is how she first met Turner Alcott. He was slated to die in a plane crash but she came up her life so that he could live. Thrust through the portal to earth again, Ice is placed back into Turner (and his son Brodie's life). Turner has no recollection of Ice from the plane but he does experience an immediate familiarity with her. He is instantly attracted to the dark haired beauty with the ice blue eyes. He sets out on a mission to make Ice his own.Through a sequence of cat and mouse twists and turns, Ice and Turner's mutual attraction glows white hot, although Ice fights it tooth and nail. As Ice tries hard to keep herself away from Turner and Brodie, Turner tries even harder to get her in his life and ultimately his bed. Ice is surrounded by her fellow phoenix's Giselle, Arabelle, and Sadie who add a quirky and fun twist to the story. I love Ice's ultimate sacrifice for Brodie. Because of it she learns that Osirus wasn't trying to punish her by turning her into a phoenix but to teach her to forgive herself and learn to love again.Such well written story with a lovely message.
