The life of a Phoenix is never-ending and Ice has had enough. This curse of a half life may serve its purpose of rescuing souls and as penance decreed by the sun god Osiris, but Ice is tired of rising from the ashes only to start over with no memories of the people she's encountered. Instead Ice has decided to do the unexpected... refuse the call of the next soul and fight the rising. By taking back control, she will force Osiris to end it, but not before she dies and rises one last time. However, there are a few lessons she must learn first before Osiris is done with her and one man who was destined to teach them.Turner's life changed forever the day he survived a plane crash. His scars run not only skin deep, but have embedded nightmares and suppressed memories of the crash and that of a woman who now haunts his dreams. When he meets his son's kindergarten teacher, déjà vu hits in a major way. Feelings long buried resurface along with hope for a better future for him and his son. He just has to convince the mysterious beauty that she too can have it all.Wow, has Ms. Firasek captured me with this enthralling read! Deliciously rich in emotion and character depth, Ms. Firasek enchants readers with a contemporary mix of Egyptian mythology and serendipitous romance. Completely unexpected, but in a most incredibly unique way! The story unfolds as the characters are living it with minimal detail to character histories until it becomes necessary to reveal, so the suspense level is high. The heat factor is built upon in way that inspires a generous dose of sexual tension leading to a phenomenal release. Amazing character dynamics at play as well. Love, loss, and redemption are the core human elements to this story and is one those intense reads that only takes one sitting to finish because you won't be able to put it down. Fair warning, it will eventually end and when it does, you'll want to read it all over again. Trust me, it's even better the second time! A priority must-read for lovers of paranormal romance.
