Excerpt:___
She had nearly forgotten her aggravation with Will Wilson when she found him leaning against her car holding another bouquet of Fire and Ice roses. She paused long enough to register lingering attraction, then turned around to lock up the store.___
Facing him again, she couldn’t seem to summon the anger she once had. “I should be mad at you,” she began. “When did you get back in town?”___
He looked at her appraisingly. “Should be... does that mean you’re not?”___
Theona walked toward him. “I was. Quite a bit actually. You over stepped, Will.” She tried to ignore the sculpted muscle visible in the open neck of his button down. ___
“I brought you a peace offering,” he said, holding out the flowers.___
“Why do you choose these?” she couldn’t help asking as she accepted them. “There must be others easier to come by.”___
“I don’t mind a little effort to get what I want.” His penetrating stare made it clear he wasn’t just talking about the flowers. “And they remind me of you.”___
“Oh? How does a rose remind you of me?” she asked, intrigued.___
He stepped closer, until the flowers were all that separated them. “They are the perfect blend of virtue and passion.”___
“I’m not so virtuous,” she breathed, tilting her face toward his.___
Will grinned down at her. “There is a difference between having virtue and being chaste.”___
Their lips were a whisper apart, neither making the move to join them.___
“I’ve made dinner. It’s waiting at my place.” He announced this with the complete confidence she would accept.
Fire and Ice: A Short Story Reviews
-
Another great short from Nannette Kreitzman. I thought this was going to be a sweet love story, but Kreitzman crafted a clever twist, flipping it into a much darker tale. Easy to read (not that I wanted to stop at any point because I was definitely hooked) flowing dialogue and just enough description to flesh out the background while keeping the plot on a good simmer. I love Nannette's style and always enjoy her shorts.

A Tense and Sexy Short Story
I’m usually not a fan of the Romance genre, though I did enjoy “Fire and Ice” by Nannette Kreitzman. There was a lot packed into this short story. It was fast paced, exciting, and sexy with tension weaved throughout.
My criticism for this story is the same criticism that I have for most Romance stories (that I’ve read), which is a reliance on stereotypes such as the overbearing, controlling rich man, or the woman who is too lovestruck to see the red flags directly in front of her. That being said, these characters (and the overall plot) were still interesting and compelling enough to allow me to be genuinely entertained by this short story while wishing there was more of it to read. I would definitely recommend “Fire and Ice" to lovers of the Romance genre. -
A delicious little bite with such a satisfying ending!
She had a weakness for guys who took control.
The whole time I was reading this I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and drop it did! Loved it.

Intense!
Another fantastic read. Kreitzman packs a lot of punch into her short stories. Fire and Ice will have you on the edge of your seat! It’s a must read. -
Vivid writing, which moved me as a reader. Nannette Kreitzman knows and shows unique details of courtship and romance. She’s not shy of showing heartbreak, either. I enjoyed that she consistently shows characters in the midst of change.

Fire and Ice by Nannette Kreitzman is a superb, well written story about a woman who falls in love with the wrong man. It's cleverly written, pacey and the characters are believable. My only fault with it was that it wasn't long enough. Nannette is such a talented writer that I think she needs to treat us to a full length novel.

A fast-paced and exciting short story. I had to read it straight through once I started. From the very first pages, I fell in love with the Greek ambiance surrounding the main character Theona. That was unexpected and so heartwarming. "Fire and Ice" is an excellent story masterfully exposing an iron fist in a velvet glove. Great job!

All I have to say about this one is WoW!
In the course of an hour, which is all it takes to read this short story, I laughed, I was swept off my feet and was totally horrified. This sweet looking little book has a dark edge that keeps you on your toes right to the very end. I'm not going to say too much more other than it's not what I thought it was going to be and I loved it! -
Fire and Ice - a cautionary tale
Nanette Kreitzman has written a powerful story with compelling characters that explores the illusion of strength within the darker side of relationships. Fascinating and chilling. -
This is a fast paced story, with enough twists to keep the surprise factor alive throughout. Fire and Ice is a breezy read. It does a good job of keeping the reader guessing on what's going to happen next.

A great short story!
This is my first book from this author and it certainly won't be the last. This is a great short story, a dark, sexy tale full of suspense, twist and turns. I was hooked on it and read it in one go. Loved it. -
A succinctly written dark tale of obsession, manipulation, and consequences.

Fire and Ice is a short story that I just adored. It was a quick and thrilling little story, not to mention super sexy. It just had the feel of the kind of romance that will sweep the reader off their feet along with the characters. It also had a darker side, an evil side, a crack in the veneer of a perfect relationship. It's just a straight to the point short story that will stick with you.
