This book was sooo alive it was like watching a movie.

Dr. Emilie Saunderson goes to Antarctica to finish the research her husband had been doing before his sudden death a year earlier. Still grieving over the loss of her husband she hopes that working in this frozen part of the world will help her accomplish this. But right off the bat stepping from the plane she gets lost in the blizzard and freezing cold and has to be rescued by Tom Wolinski, the Station manager who has a few of his own past demons he is battling.

From here we find out what life is like stationed in Antarctica. The author gives such great details that I truly felt like I was there. From the having the dress in millions of layers to extreme frostbite, to how easy it is to get lost in the snow just going outside with a team to try and fix a problem.

Right from the start Emilie and Tom have great chemistry though Emilie doesnt think she is ready to let her dead husband go and Tom only does one night stands.

I really loved this book.. I would have given it 5 stars if it would have had an epilogue. But dont let that deter you from reading this great story.
