Summary: A great follow-up to Lord of Fire
Review: Wow! These two books - Lord of Fire and Lord of Ice - have jumped to the top of my fave books list! These twin brothers, Lucien and Damien pulled me completely into their lives, loves, problems and triumphs! These are men you can really care about. Though I give the edge to LOF as the better story, LOI was great as well. Damien Knight returns from six years fighting Napoleon hailed as a hero and made an earl. He hardly feels like a hero and suffers from some serious survivor's guilt. He is tormented by horrifying nightmares and halucinations of his experiences and wonders if he is going mad. Worried that he will harm others or himself, he isolates himself in his broken-down estate to live like a hermit and try to fix his fractured psyche. But his isolation doesn't last long. He is forced back into society by the murder of a former officer and friend who has named Damien guardian to his niece. Damien wants nothing more than to ensure his new ward is settled in life and then return to his monkish existence alone. But he doesn't count on Miranda! She's vivacous, flirty, fresh, innocent and very lonely. She's been dumped in a school for girls, forgotten by her family for years. Damien is shocked to discover that his ward is no little girl, but a young woman. One he is incredibly attracted to. She's just what he needs - a tonic for his lost soul. But he pushes her away fearing that he is good for nothing but killing and inflicting pain. But Miranda knows better; sees Damien for who he is - honorable, kind, strong, charming, dangerous, vulnerable and lost. She's as determined to heal him with her love as he is to push her away. A sweet journey for these two lovable characters. I love that the author brings back characters from The Duke and LOF in quite natural settings - not just props in the background. I can just feel future books about Jacinda and "Billy Blade", Alec and Lizzie, and black sheep Jack and look forward to them eagerly!
