It seems like Egyptian mythology is becoming very popular of late, and since I've always been fascinated by it, I had to grab this to read.  I wasn't disappointed.Our heroine, Tamara, is a woman of power -- fire and heat to be exact.  I have to admit I enjoyed how she handled a man getting just a little too friendly with her.  Apparently power runs in the family, as her cousin can see the future and she "sees" Ramose before Tamara meets him.Ramose is part of the race, the Petiri, who crashed on Earth a very long time ago.  He's a protector, and that shows in everything he does.  He's very nearly perfect, handsome, smart, caring and he's ice to Tamara's fire.  It's awesome.There is evil to battle in the form of Ramose's brother, as well as the perplexing fact that Tamara is Ramose's soul mate (and how can that be, since she's not of the Petiri?).Action, adventure and sexual tension abound this book, though occasionally the plot slowed to show things like Tamara and Ramose shopping.  While I understand what was accomplished with that scene (and others that slowed the galloping pace a bit), it still gave me a place where I was able to put the book down for a bit instead of keeping me glued to the pages. Don't get me wrong, I returned, and happily since I wanted to know how things turned out!Visions of Fire and Ice is an interesting take on the Egyptian gods and mythology and I quite enjoyed the read.
