Synopsis (Goodreads):
He’s her boss. She’s his best friend. These two deep-space convoy security specialists are fighting their simmering attraction…until a starship crash on a deadly ice world changes everything.Thoughts on Crashed on an Ice World: The Phoenix family is doing their thing once again. This time on an ICE WORLD. Quick aside, I ADORE stories with a "stranded in the snow" sort of feel. The ice world Rynan and Elana end up on definitely hits all the buttons there. There's snow. A LOT OF SNOW. And ice. And strange, dangerous creatures who have adapted to this snowy environment. Yesssssss.
Elana Korra loves her security job as a medic on the convoy ship, the Sky Nomad…except for the fact that she’s in love with her boss. Rynan is tough, loyal, and protective, and she knows he will never cross the line with her despite her deepest fantasies. But one scorching kiss sets up a smoldering tension, and as they head off into uncharted space on a treasure hunt to find an invaluable old Earth treasure, Elana knows it is time to make a change—get Ry to admit how he feels about her or leave. But a deadly attack leaves Ry and Elana on a damaged, out-of-control ship hurtling toward an unforgiving ice world.
Rynan Phoenix lives for his job of keeping the Phoenix Deep-Space Convoy safe. The nightmare of his childhood has taught him to steer well clear of romantic relationships, and he’s forced himself to ignore Elana’s compact body and gorgeous face. But when they find themselves stranded on an ice world with passengers to protect and space pirates hunting them down, Ry is forced to confront just how he feels about the most important woman in his life.
Ry and Elana will need all of their training in order to keep themselves alive. As they find hints to the old Earth treasure, their desire turns hotter and deeper…but then they discover that far more dangerous things call this ice planet home…
Plus, there's the whole unrequited attraction/love between Rynan and Elana. She's his best friend, but he refuses to see her as anything more. Mostly because he's afraid of making a mess of things and losing her. As you can imagine, him holding himself back from her causes some issues that Elana isn't willing to put up with. I totally get where she was coming from. Why waste your life waiting for something that looks like it's never going to happen?
Except...faced with the very real danger on the ice world and the even more real possibility that he could lose Elana forever, Rynan gets a cold dose of reality. He either needs to step up and admit his feelings or live without his best friend and the person he relies on as much as his brothers.
Nine books in and I'm still loving the crazy space adventures these Phoenixes end up in the middle of. Treasure hunting, steamy romance, and enough danger to put things in perspective. LOVE IT!
