This is one of the few books I've read that couldn't happen without the setting, for Antarctica is an integral part of this story.An entertaining read, the author has crafted a romance between two strong characters in an Antarctic camp - there's no escape for either of them. I found the Antarctic details fascinating. The author included things I'd never considered or thought about and they add up to a book I had to finish. The romance between the lead characters is well done. Each has baggage but it's not so overwhelming that it takes a miraculous intervention to resolve. The process of resolution was well done. Their issues come to the forefront, are faced and dealt with. This is not the I love you so I become perfect sort of story - it's the I love you but still have my stuff to deal with. For me, this makes for a very entertaining read.Bring together a hero with baggage, a grieving woman in a setting they can't leave and then throw in an unplanned pregnancy and the result is Icebound - a book I HAD to finish.
