Hotter on Ice was a beautiful love story about growth and moving forward. Henning and Alya both have pasts that haunt them. Through each other they find the strength to face their pasts and learn to heal. Would enjoy to see where the story goes; hope their story gets continued.

Henning is one of model Alya’s bodyguards. He goes with her to Sweden for a shot. Henning was a police officer and a bust went bad and he blames himself for a team mates death. He ended up with scars on one side of his face. Alya was stalked by her ex boyfriend and her life got out of control. They both have feelings for each other but are afraid to love. I really enjoyed this book.
This was a great addition to the Blackmore, Inc series & I liked how this is a Beauty & the Beast type story. I loved how Henning has been protecting Alya for years without her ever seeing him. She is gorgeous and he is scarred and feels like she would never want to see him in person. I appreciated how Alya cared about Henning, saw who he is on the inside. This story also takes place in an interesting place.
All though this is not the type of book I usually read I thought that getting out of my comfort zone and trying new stories would be good. While I thought that overall the book was good and the writing was strong I found that there are several other books on the market that have the same theme and this one just does not live up to the hype. On the other hand it would be a perfect summer read while on the beach.

Alya and Henning’s story is a 10+ steamy read!
This is my 4th book by Rebecca and I am hooked on her style of a struggling hero and the woman who love them! Henning’s struggles with his need to protect Alya from behind the scene while dreaming about much more with her. Yet when Alya needs a bodyguard for her latest fashion shoot, Henning is there for her. But will Henning be able to give Alya what she wants or forever remain behind the scene? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you turn the last page!
Beauty and the Beast, in Sweden.
We met Alya previously as the model whose sister fell for her bodyguard Max.
She’s going on a five day trip to Sweden with Henning, who she’s just met in person for the first time. He’s been doing her surveillance for years, but as a scarred man, he’s kept his jones for her a secret.
It’s spicy and steamy right away but her ex Nick made her change how she views relationships. As did Hennings ex, Corinne.
What I liked?
Fully formed characters, action and plenty of spice all in a quick read.
I really liked Henning.
Henning was currently working in security behind a desk. Five years earlier he had been physically and mentally damaged during a raid that went wrong. Alta is a top model who lived in fear and insecurities primarily due to years of stalking by an ex boyfriend. Henning was her phone security for several years but had never met. Their meeting was insta-love and some extremely hot scenes. Very good compassionate read!

Great read. This is the book 4 in the Blackmore Inc series and the first book that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Alya and Henning were a great couple. They had great chemistry between them. Great storyline and a great location. Can’t wait to read more from this author. I will be going back and reading more of this series.

He kept her safe from afar for few years, now she’ll meet him, thanks to her work and dangerous ex.
When those two meet, their attraction is off the charts.
Alya and Henning are great characters. Loved everything about this book.
This was a really good read. Alya and Henning were engaging characters that shared great chemistry. I thought that the story line was fun and the setting interesting. I thought Henning was an excellent book boyfriend. This brooding, intense alpha male with a heart of gold was just my type. As for Alya, I liked her spunkiness and determination and I loved that she could see Henning for the awesome man he was under his scars and behind his walls. Both these characters had their own issues and I always think that adds so much to the building of a epic couple and a compelling romance. I felt that these two made a perfect pairing that was easy to root for. This is my independent, impartial review.
Fiery hot love in a freezing cold location!
Alya lost her bodyguard, Max, when he fell in love with her sister, Natasha. Thrilled for the new couple, she still has to find someone else to watch her back while she’s on location at a famous ice hotel resort in Sweden. She only knows Henning as the guy monitoring her security from afar, and she’s completely unprepared for the instant attraction she feels when they finally meet in person.
These two are so hot together it’s a wonder there’s any ice left in Sweden! I loved how there wasn’t any of the common “but we work together” objections – clearly he can still protect her regardless of how they’re spending their time together. But there are other complications on the road to their HEA.
Henning’s complicated past is only part of the problem. His concern for her safety comes at a point in Alya’s life when she’s ready to move beyond the crippling fear she’s dealt with for the past three years. Just how much protection is necessary, and how much is at risk if she lets it go? These questions turn this super-hot romance into an intense personal journey for both Henning and Alya, making their HEA all the sweeter for it.
There wasn’t a slow spot or weak point anywhere in this story. I was captivated right from the start, and loved each and every page. I highly recommend it for all romance readers. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Hotter on Ice is my first book by Rebecca Hunter and I can’t wait to read more. This is the story of a model and her body guard and their desire for each other. They take a trip to an ice castle in Sweden where their relationship develops. She creates lovable characters and a weaves them into a great story. With so much sexual tension this story is on fire! I hope she gives some of the other characters their own book. I am ready to read more.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I didn’t know what to expect.
Alya is a model and has decided she’s moving on from her past, so when she gets offered a photo shoot in another and she jumps at the chance. But she needs to take her bodyguard to because of her dangerous ex husband
Henning is a sexy, hot overprotective bodyguard for Alya, he used to be a police officer has vowed to never meet or date any of his clients. However there is just something about the beautiful Alya she’s different, he’s kept her safe for a long time. However can these two souls ever really be together ?
( NO SPOILERS ).
These characters have alot of chemistry between each other and this author writes them well. They both have amazing chemistry and are great together. I love how overprotective he is of her too. This book had a good story line my only thing was some parts of the book were very predictable you knew exactly what was going to happen.
Thank You to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
This book is expected to be released 01st March 2020.
This is the 4th book in this standalone series. Henning is a body guard that goes with model alya to sweden. Both have baggage and scars but that only makes them stronger.

3.5 stars
Lots of chemistry, interesting setting (Ice Hotel in Sweden) but the connection between Alya Petrova and Henning Fischer (other than their physical attraction) seemed a little forced.
Both Alya and Henning have had traumatic events in their past…Alya with her ex’s actions and Henning’s (at the time, a police officer) due to a bust that went horribly wrong. Without giving the details away, Henning’s experience was far more horrific and took a much deeper toll on who he is now.
While not minimizing Alya’s struggles with her ex, Henning does and will always carry reminders of his past.
Is their connection more based on the fact that Henning, as a surveillance specialist with Blackmore, Inc., has been “watching over her” through Alya’s front hall security video system “giving her a boost of support on her weakest days” which has had the effect of them both feeling more familiar with one another?
Henning’s character was very enduring and sweet, always looking out for others. He was the star of the story!
