I struggled to finish this book, I can’t put my finger on why but I really couldn’t warm to either of the main characters. I also found their instant lust slightly unbelievable.

Did you ever pick up a book and think, man I really don’t want to read this because it’s going to make me want more. This author writes those kind of books! And this was no exception. Aiden was looking for his brother, his twin, He seeks out Toni who is know for finding bodies. Together they set out to find his twin, and maybe the find more

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

Touched by Ice continues the Ice Breakers series with Dr. Antonia Rossi. I have liked her from the beginning. She is intelligent and driven. She has her own tragic past, but her and her dog Banshee find the dead. Aiden desperately needs Tony to find his missing brother. He is sure his brother died when they were 17, but despite his enormous wealth he hasn't been able to solve the mystery.

Aiden is difficult to like at first. He is arrogant and entitled and he thinks he can buy anything and anyone. He is delightfully surprised by how unmoved Tony is by his money. Despite his douche moves to get her to help him, she does agree to help him find his brother's remains. Aiden's brother went missing under some strange circumstances, and the small town it happened in still remembers it all. There is no lack of suspects in the town, and Austin, Aiden's brother, was known to have a few enemies. Tony and Aiden being in town, determined to figure out what happened, leads to several near death experiences that keep the story moving at a quick pace!

Touched by Ice was a really good story, with good characters, a cameo by previous characters, and a steamy romance!

The title may be called "Touched by Ice" but this story isn't cold by any stretch of the imagination! The chemistry between Aiden and Tony scorches the pages in this read! I absolutely love Ms. Eden's particular form of writing romantic suspense. I've read all of her series and I don't know how she comes up with unique and riveting story lines over and over. It's amazing. I am enjoying these Ice Breaker Cold Case books so much! Everything is in here -- suspense, mystery, drama, twists & turns, fast-paced, dynamic connection between the main characters -- I loved everything about this read and I can't wait for the next Cold Case. I didn't mention Smith's character, but you're going to love him -- Ms. Eden always has a character that causes me to laugh out loud when that character interacts with one of the main characters -- good job Ms. Eden! Another winner in my opinion. I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an early copy of this book through NetGalley.

Touched by Ice is 4th book in the Ice Breaker Cold Case series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. It's a fantastic read that had my heart pounding, my stomach tightening and adrenaling flowing. Intense, with a number of very surprising twists and turns, I was kept guessing right until the end. Tony and Aiden are both wonderful characters with lots of depth and secrets and I absolutely adored Banshee! This is a definite addition to my keeper shelf and I look forward to the next adventure.

4.5stars-TOUCHED BY ICE is the fourth instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult ICE BREAKER COLD CASE romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Ice Breakers, an online team of crime solvers whose goal is to solve cold cases. This is forensic anthropologist Dr. Antonia ‘Tony’ Rossi, and thirty-two year old, billionaire casino owner/businessman Aiden Warner’s storyline. TOUCHED BY ICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: For fans of Cynthia Eden, there is a slight cross over with the author’s Wilde Ways series.

Told from third person perspective TOUCHED BY ICE follows the building romance and relationship between forensic anthropologist Dr. Antonia ‘Tony’ Rossi, and thirty-two year old, billionaire casino owner/businessman Aiden Warner in the wake of Aiden hiring our heroine to find his twin brother. Aiden’s twin brother Austin has been missing, and presumed dead, for close to fifteen years, and Aiden has been desperate to uncover the truth. Dr. Rossi’s reputation for ‘finding’ the dead has drawn Aiden to the woman with whom he will fall in love but Tony isn’t interested in taking on any more cases until Aiden reveals he knows more about Tony than she could have ever imagined. Tony will agree to help locate Aiden’s missing brother but all does not go well when our couple are targeted the closer they get to uncovering the truth. What ensues is the building relationship between Tony and Aiden, and the potential fall-out as Tony begins to suspect everyone in Aiden’s life, including the man, himself.

Aiden Warner lost everything the day his twin brother Austin went missing but the amount of blood and destruction in the family’s cottage meant something bad had happened to his brother. As Aiden and Tony begin investigating the who, how and why, it becomes apparent that several of the locals know more than they are willing to say. The murder of a local real estate agent, and the poisoning of Tony’s dog proves that our couple have been targeted, possibly by the same person or persons responsible for killing Austin Warner.

The relationship between Aiden and Tony begins acrimoniously as Tony refuses Aiden’s attempts to convince her to help. Tony is overwhelmed in the wake of a recent discovery, and finding another young body brings up too many memories of crimes long ago but Tony knows that Aiden will never rest until his brother’s body is found, and in this Tony is hoping the truth will bring some peace to the man with whom she is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Aiden’s right hand man and security specialist Smith Sanders; as well as police chief Barrett Montgomery, veterinarian Levi Russell, his assistant Sharon, and real estate agent Melanie Rodgers. We are reintroduced to Memphis Camden (Falling for the Ice Queen 2), and his brother Saint Camden (Ice Cold Saint 3). Smith Sanders story is next in TRAPPED IN ICE.

TOUCHED BY ICE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, greed and addiction, forgiveness and love. The fast paced, action packed premise is captivating and intriguing; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

She finds the ones who are missing, the dead, the ones who need to be found. Billionaire Aiden Warner has been trying to contact Antonia “Tony” Rossi to find his missing brother. His brother, his identical twin, has been missing since they were teens. Tony is his last hope along with her HRD dog Banshee. She works for Ice Breakers, a cold case group with the special talent to locate the missing. She is unique in that she says what she means and as a forensic anthropologist is able to detect, from the bones, how a person was killed. His money will not get her to agree, but the pain in his eyes, as he speaks of his brother, makes her say yes…she will try. At the cabin where his brother disappeared, someone doesn’t want them investigating and when she and Banshee are targeted, he can’t lose her; she keeps the dark away. The alpha male protector, the strong female who can take care of herself, but appreciates his help and a story that won’t let you stop reading until the end. Another amazing story by Ms. Eden! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation, from the author, for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow, so much action, drama, twists and turns, and sizzling hot romance between Aiden and Antonia. They are kind of an unlikely couple as she deals with dead bodies and he seems like he has buried all his emotions and is like the title - cold as ice.

As Antonia, or Tony as she prefers to be called tries to look into Aiden's brother's disappearance, they spent their day together and have many attempts on their lives.

Loved that a couple of the previous Icebreakers showed up and even a mention of Wilde investigations! I sure hope that we see more of Aiden's faithful bodyguard in a future book - he sounds interesting!

I could not put this book down until I found out how it ended and if they found Aiden's brother and there was a great HEA.

Touched By Ice is book four in the amazing Ice Breaker Cold Case Series by Cynthia Eden. This book opens at a tragic scene that grabbed my attention and heart. From there it is the case of the missing brother that still haunts younger brother Aiden Warner many years later. He wants answers and justice, believing that Dr. Antonia “Tony” Rossi is the person to provide all of that.

As they get to know each other respect with strong attraction takes hold. There is someone who doesn’t want Aiden to find the answers that he is searching for and Tony lands in the crossfire. Danger, suspense and perhaps one would say instant love in this compelling read. A page turner for sure. Read today. Intense, captivating and swoon worthy with a unique plot and remarkable characters.

An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This series just keeps getting better and better! Aiden is swoon material. Tony is fierce. Together their chemistry is smoking. The romance is sexy. The mystery full of twists. I kept guessing right up to the reveal. I was hooked from the beginning. I also loved the pop in by two of my favorite Ice Breakers. No one does romantic suspense quite like Cynthia Eden.

Antonia Rossi and her dog Banshee find the dead. They are known around the world for their success. Successful business man Aiden wants to hire her to find his twin who went missing when they were 17. There is someone who doesn’t want Antonia to succeed. This book has suspense, romance and intrigue. It will keep you turning the pages til you get to the end and find out what happened. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Well if you want a story that you will not put down until you turn the last page then this is the one but word of warning start it early because if you are reading in the early hours of the morning you are going to hear every creak groan and scrape in your house it is that good.

Banshee is the dog owned by Antonio (Tony) Rossi and they use their skills to help in murders and cold cases . When Aiden a billionaire with a missing twin tries to buy their time to solve the case of his missing brother he finds that not all things can be bought. Eventually she agrees to help him but someone wants to stop their hunt and will stop at nothing to do that. So begins a string off hints and clues that has you thinking you have it all sorted in your head then bang another twist and you are back to the beginning. Can they solve the case and will they have a future You will have to read to see

If I could give it 10 Stars I would that’s how good this story was!!

Antonia Rossi and her dog Banshee find the dead. At her latest crime scene she is approached by someone who thinks she can be bought. Not happening.

“Banshee doesn’t find the living. Banshee cries when she finds the dead.”

Aiden Warner is stupid rich and thinks he can buy anything. He finds out real quick Thant he can’t buy Tony.

Red flag. Red flag! In her mind, Tony could see the flags waving, but she ignored them.

Tony is spunky and independent. Aiden is smoking hot and there chemistry is electric. So much suspense with suspect’s coming out of the woodwork. At one time I suspect everyone.

“Anyone can be hurt. Even you. The man with no heart.”

Smith is crazy and full of wise cracks. I can’t wait to read about him.

“Because when I’m digging up bodies, it gets in the way.”

“Oh.” Smith cleared his throat. “Totally great reason. You keep doing you.”

This is definitely not a book I could read at night before going to bed. A lot of suspense and death. Touched By Ice, is an awesome book. I would have like to have seen more of the Ice Breakers in this book. A couple of them show up in the end after everything is done and only the healing is left.
