After returning from Afghanistan Natalie's personal life was at a standstill. As far as she was concerned her relationship with Chris was over, now she just had to make `him' get the message! She was working as a bodyguard so when her boss called her with the offer of a high paying client named Mr Ash she was only too willing to take the job.This particular assignment was nothing like the others, for a start she found Alexander Ash highly attractive which was distracting and on top of that she began to hear voices in her head ... very unsettling. After she was asked to accompany Mr Ash to a party and stay over night things started to get stranger and Natalie was beginning to wonder just what she had got herself into........Natalie was very strong willed which is why she was unnerved by her reaction to `Mr Ash' and her loss of control where he was concerned. She finds it difficult to believe what she is being told by Alexandra and Malik (who we meet in the latter part of the book) because their tale is so far fetched. We do find out  why her feelings for him are so instantaneous and strong, but I wont give out any spoilers here.I found the story interesting, unpredictable, and quite different to the usual vampire / Demon stories I have read of late. Some of the sentences were a bit choppy and in parts the story jumped around a little leaving me confused and having to re-read so I could understand what was happening, a little more editing  could easily sort this out. Overall the writing flows well, and is mostly an easy read. This is book one in `the fire and ice series' but there was no annoying cliff hanger at the end.Copy supplied for review
