Synopsis (Goodreads):
Angel Smith is ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her final day, the research station is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives…only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run.Thoughts on Whiteout: I kinda love when surly, growly folks (male or female, honestly, although I do have a particular soft spot for grumbly men) who try DESPERATELY to avoid romantic entanglements end up finding their special someone. Ford certainly fits the bill, in this case.
Isolated in the middle of a long, frozen winter with a madman at their heels, they must fight to survive in the most inhospitable—and beautiful—place on earth. But the outside world depends on what Ford and Angel know and, as their pursuers close in and their new partnership burns bright and hot, they will stop at nothing to make it out of the cold alive.
While he's growly and stern and comes across as cold, Angel is his polar opposite. Heh. She's outgoing and warm and she kinda likes the Iceman even though he's given her ZERO reasons to believe he does more than tolerate her out of necessity. For her part, although her body might light up when Ford's around, Angel also doesn't trust herself (FOR REASONS) to pick an actual honorable man who isn't going to use her to get what he wants. For reasons, guys. For reasons.
They're both sort of going out of their way to avoid one another and they probably would have succeeded if a very bad thing didn't happen. Suddenly, Angel's relying on Ford for survival and she sees that he's not the stoic Iceman she'd thought he was. Whereas, Ford starts to understand how incredibly lonely his life has been as he hides out on the ice and avoids emotional entanglements.
A boatload (or planeload, I guess) of danger, some simmering sexual tension in the bitter cold, a race against time and foodstuffs, and some very bad people who want to do some very bad things. Ford, Angel, and the others who end up helping have uncovered something bigger than they could imagine and they've only scratched the surface of things so far. I like.
