Amazon Bestselling Author Mickey Miller, brings you a brand new standalone enemies-to-lovers romance.Recklessly cocky. Brutally handsome. Exceptionally Talented. And Utterly Ruthless.Meet my childhood crush, everybody.Except handsome Shane North is all grown up now, and he’s out for revenge…on me.Before I moved away, Shane was my best friend’s older brother. But Shane isn’t the lanky, spindly … brother. But Shane isn’t the lanky, spindly boy I used to know. He’s been replaced by a handsome man with broad, muscular shoulders and hockey scouts lining up to get him to play for their team.
When he “accidentally” sends me a selfie one night after a chance phone call, then shows up at my house per my mother’s request, a passion ignites inside me that I’ve never felt once in my life.
But there’s one big problem: Shane is holding onto an enormous secret. Something everyone in town seems to know but won’t tell me. My father was the richest man in Black Mountain, and had his share of enemies, as reading his diary informs me.
The more I fight my attraction to Shane, the more I fall for him. Despite his secrets, recklessness, and temper, he’s got a protective streak a mile wide for those he cares about. Which, after one very hot night, includes me.
My attraction to him comes on strong and without warning. But this is no fairy tale. This is a nightmare.
I just pray the big bad ice wolf known Shane North is on my side.
And before I make it out of Black Mountain, I’m going to have to confront the secrets about my father this town has tucked away.
Or should I say, if I make it out of this town.

An absolute page-turner of a book. A little bit more on the darker side of things for this author and I absolutely loved it!
Shane and Natalie are quite the match. Shane is Natalie’s childhood best friend’s older brother, and years later when she comes home to Black Mountain, she finds out that she might not be as welcomed back as she hoped. Learning things about family that you didn’t even want to fathom is a tall order, made even worse when a few of those from the town feel that maybe they should get some payback.
Natalie needs to figure out what’s going on and if she can actually trust Shane or not. They set each other on fire with their chemistry, it’s undeniable but will the truth of everything from the past tear them apart?
This is one book you will not want to miss out on. Little mayhem, a little mischief, fun, and oh so, sexy and steamy at times. You will want to read this book in one sitting. You won’t regret it.
This is a great story! Just when you thinks it’s going one way, Mickey Miller pulls you in another direction! Natalie and Shane burn up the pages with their chemistry. But what’s wrong with a few secrets between friends? Don’t guess. Just read.
5 stars!
Wow – much darker than the typical Mickey Miller love story but this only enhances how good a book this really is. Regret, misunderstanding, revenge and hope all mixed up in the tale of Natalie and Shane. Each chapter got more intense and the characters past, present and future left so many questions I could not put it down until I finished. I need more books like this Mickey Miller!!
I’m REALLY liking this touch of dark Mickey Miller!! This book made my heart race, my knees clench and made me worry about the characters that came alive on the page. The action is so crazy, the sex is smokin’ hot and my emotions were all over the place! I tried to read as fast as I could, but I fizzled out around 2am, even though I really wanted to keep going. I definitely recommend this book. And the ones who need an HEA, you are in for an absolutely wonderful ending. Enjoy!!
Shane hates Natalie for what she and her father have done in the past. She is now back in town and reaches out to him. Becoming enemies to lovers has a lot to be worked out between them
This budding romance hits a twist when Shane comes clean with Natalie about why he’s been acting strange. This dark romance will definitely keep you on your toes and you will not want to put this book down. I love that you see emotional evolution of both of them through out the book. You get to take the emotional rollercoaster with Shane as he goes through turmoil with how he feels about Natalie from the begining
Black Ice is a perfect example that every book is not for every reader. I have read Mr. Miller’s books before and was excited about a new “enemies to lovers” story. Well Shane and Natalie’s story is beyond “enemies to lovers” and more of a “bully” romance. The couple were childhood friends in the UP of Michigan when Natalie’s parents divorced and she moved to Florida with her mother at age 12. It is now a decade later and Natalie’s father has passed away and she is emptying out his home and hoping to find some closure in their relationship. She comes into contact with Shane the older brother of her friend and learns that many things have changed over the 10 years that she has been away. One of them is that Shane isn’t a very nice person. He is 23 and has dropped out of college. He doesn’t want to share much about his life with Natalie and only seems to have hostility toward her. My biggest problem is that Shane’s behavior at times is like a 15 year old. When I was 23 I was engaged and planning my wedding not holding juvenile grudges that border on criminal offences. So is the story well written….yes. Was I the right audience for the book….no. It’s told from dual POV and in case you are wondering if Shane is the dirty bad boy that you expect him to be, the answer is yes!
Black Ice is a departure from Mickey Miller’s usual sexy rom com. Shane and Natalie have an undeniable attraction but secrets from the past threaten to tear them apart. Steamy, emotional, intense & suspenseful with a surprising twist at the end. Well done Mr Miller!
Mickey Miller is absolutely one of my favorite male authors! If you love a romance with it all…You’ll love Black Ice!
Lots of angst, drama, suspense, plenty of heat and even a dark theme that is not always able to be pulled off in the romance genre…
Totally enjoyed this one and always look forward to more from the fab Mickey Miller!
Loved this book. It was a little different from his others. The character development was great. I felt like I could place myself in the story. I was drawn in from cover to cover. 5 amazing stars from me.
Black Ice by Mickey Miller was a steamy and captivating enemies to lovers story. Natalie is back home after the death of her father after being away for years. The town she remembers is very different and she does not feel very welcomed. When she sees Shane again, her best friend’s older brother, she realizes he is not her biggest fan. Though their chemistry was intense and almost instant, Shane resents Natalie presence. Shane was angry and out for revenge, but could he see past that? Black Ice by Mickey Miller is steamy, a bit dark and completely captivating!

I voluntarily submitted an ARC review for this book.
Natalie is back in Black Mountain, Michigan, where she had lived until she was 12, now her father has died and she has to go through his personal items. When Natalie lives in Black Mountain she had a best friend Louisa and her brother Shane. Natalie’s dad had owned the Toft Mine. Natalie didn’t come back to Black Mountain until she was in college. Natalie wanted to talk with a friend and called to talk to Louisa, Shane answered and informed Natalie that Louisa had died a few years back. Shane is angry after losing his dad in an accident at the Toft Mine and then his sister a few years later.
This is love story with a bit of darkness. Natalie has come back to her home town to settle her Father’s estate. Shane is childhood friend. When they come together the steam between Shane and Natalie blows up. Shane and Natalie has to overcome things in their past that has been kept hidden.
You won’t be able to put the book down!
Absolutely loved this book. Mickey has a way with his writing that sucks you in and won’t let you out until the last page. The characters, the writing and the storyline are well developed and leave you wanting more! Amazing
Shane and Natalie’s story was gripping, raw emotions, heart break, all rolled up in a ball of nerves and hatred towards someone the town blamed for something her father had done. Natalie was best friends with Shane’s sister Louisa and when life took a turn Natalie moved away with her mother and left them behind. Unknowing of what was happening back home her life went on until she had to go back to Michigan for her father’s funeral. Things just weren’t the same, people were looking at her with disdain and disgust and once she ran into Shane everything started to fall into place. So much had happened she couldn’t believe it and most of all she couldn’t and wouldn’t believe what she was being told about her father. This was such an amazing read, loved the story the dynamics between Shane and Natalie, watching their story evolve together. I hope we get a book for Lizzie!! I received a copy of this book.
“Why are you telling me all this?”
“Because I like you Natalie. God help me, but I do.”
“You barely know me.”
“I do know you though. I know how you taste. I know where you come from. And I know that since I met you, my life is never going to be the same.”
Oooh, Mr. Miller has stepped over to the dark side!! And, I love it!! This was such a great read! Secrets, mystery, a town fallen in to the darkness of grief and addiction, suspense, and a plot for revenge in the making for years.
Shane and Natalie grew up together, but when she and her mother left town when she was 12, Nat kind of lost touch, which happens. But, coming back here after her father’s death has uncovered secrets she never knew. Could it be her father was not the man she thought? And Shane is no longer the little boy she knew. He’s all man and pushing all her buttons – both good and bad. But, he’s hiding something and she’s not sure if she can trust him. She’s not sure of anything anymore.
Shane hates her. He’ll never forgive her for what she did, or what her father did. Vengeance is his and he’ll make her pay. They all will. Now, if he can just get his heart on board…..
I loved this story. The whole time I was biting my nails! This is definitely a different side of Mr. Miller and I hope he shows it more often! I would recommend you grab this one!!
Another great book by this author. These characters are seriously so great together. Shane is her friends oldee brother anx they hax known each other befor she left town. Now shes back and they are both different and the attraction they have is intense. Just love the whole enemies to lovers story and everything else about this one so much.
Mickey Miller has done it once again with this book.. It’s an enemies to lovers story that you don’t wanna miss. Natalie and Shane’s story is one that will suck you in.. What do I mean? Go one click this book and you will find out. You won’t be disappointed when you do.
Mickey has done it again! One more 5-star must read from (in my opinion) the number one male romance author out there! This book is quite a bit different from his norm and I absolutely loved it! It is set in a small coal mining town with a major opioid epidemic and I can totally relate to what these characters are dealing with. I’m from a big coal state and my little town has a huge opioid problem that keeps getting worse and worse. I see the devastation daily. Mickey did a great job on his research for this one!
On to Shane and Natalie…childhood friends who have not spoken to each other in years. Shane’s sister was once Natalie’s best friend, that is until Natalie moved to Florida with her mom and lost track of the friends from her past. Now her father, the owner of the Black Mountain coal mine, has passed away and it’s up to Natalie to return to her hometown and pack up all his things. She’s not getting the best vibes from the townspeople and doesn’t have a clue as to why. When she sees Shane, it’s instant attraction. Unlike anything she’s ever felt before…and the feelings definitely seem to be mutual! But are they really? There are quite a few secrets in Black Mountain and a few of them are Shane’s. He and his friends have a plan to get revenge on Natalie for the sins of her father. When Natalie’s life is in danger, will Shane help her or will his plans for revenge cause him to turn his back on her and bring him the satisfaction he craves?
This is an action packed, dark, hot and steamy enemies to lovers romance that you won’t want to put down! There are so many twists and turns, you just never know what’s going to happen next. Shane and Natalie are exceptionally well written characters that I just couldn’t get enough of! Black Ice is one you do not want to pass up. I devoured it in one sitting!
