This is book 2 in the thrilling Stormwatch series and I loved it! All the books in the series seem to be based around winter storm, Holly. The first things that caught my eye were the words winter storm and deadly pathogens both of these are key words that for some reason make me immediately want to read the book. What can I say? I'm a weirdo. You have a deadly storm, you have deadly pathogens and you have terrorists so you just know it is going to be a non-st0p thrill ride, Add to that the two main characters that have to work together to save the world while coming to grips with their feelings for each other. You might have suspend belief while reading this book but you will be highly entertained. I really enjoyed this race against time romance!

this was a good read, I actually didn't read the first book so I was a little confused. I did enjoy reading this and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Emma posing as a reporter gets stranded in a Colorado airport....while there, she gets a call that she needs to protect the bio-lab which is located under the airport from terrorists! Mason, the guy from her past that she always has had a crush on runs the lab.....

This book is intense romantic suspense, a little far fetched but overall it was good.

Emma is a security specialist, but her friends know her as a reporter! When a blizzard grounds her plane in Portal she is reassigned to protect a possible threat to a lab there. The doctor over the lab turns out to be her childhood crush Mason! Can Emma and Mason make new memories while fighting bad guys and something much more deadly then a bad guy? Great read!

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

I became a fan of Hinze with the Seascape Trilogy (OH HOW I LOVE THAT SERIES!!!) but this is far from that series.

In this story there is a secret lab under an airport which is bogged in by a snowstorm. Having thousands of people stranded is bad enough but let's add terrorists and a lab filled with bio-chemicals putting them all in danger.

The writing is great which is not unexpected with Vicki Hinze but, of course, the storyline is completely unrealistic. I mean a major lab under a major airport??? Nope! But then we don’t always read a book for reality do we?

If you are looking for a take you out of your own head suspense this is the one for you.

This is the first time in reading this author with me scratching my head in wonderment on how I had not before now. This caught my eye being some of the other authors I saw how they too have one in this series. It lays the ground with a bad storm with I know how they can be having been in a couple of blizzards myself. Emma will be giving us some excellent intrigue with it causing us to be pulled more than once. Than there is also Gregory whom they do know each other but from time past. Now thanks to circumstances they must learn each other fast and work together or something bad will really happen. What a thriller you will be given a top notch one with it being a good reason it left me scratching my head when I finished but not from this novel but from how but so glad I did not.

Deep Freeze is a quick action pack clean mystery romance. The story plays on the theory of Denver Airport conspiracy theories. The character pop off the page and cones to life in the fast pace story. Every time readers get a breathe the characters are thrown into another crisis. Wondering who they can trust. The author packs in back story while keeping the story moving forward. There are gun, bombs and clean romance packed into one long night of a winter storm of the century.

Thank you to Netgalley for the copy of Vicki Hinze Deep Freeze.

Deep Freeze
By: Vicki Hinze

*REVIEW* 🌟🌟🌟
I'm always drawn to crazy disaster or end of the world survival stories. Deep Freeze immediately caught my attention, and I had high hopes for the story. It's unfortunate that it wasn't quite what I hoped it would be. A massive storm and tons of people trapped in an airport is a realistic scenario, but everything else-not so much. I just couldn't make myself believe it. My suspension of disbelief was not working with this story. It has entertaining moments, and the writing is fine. If you can buy into the storyline, as I'm certain many readers can, you will love this story. It wasn't for me, though.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
When a winter storm shuts down a busy airport and strands 5,000 travelers, it becomes a nightmare on its own, but add a secret lab four floors below full of dangerous pathogens, power outages, and thieves breaking in to sell pathogens to the highest bidder, and it becomes a threat to the entire country. Emma, a security consultant for Silencers, Inc, just happens to be one of the stranded passengers. Posing as a reporter, she gets clearance to investigate the lab, discovering an old crush is the head scientist, just in time for the electricity to go out and the thieves to start attacking.
Honestly, the many coincidences in this book are just too wild and far-fetched to believe. The story is full of action and a little romance, but I had a hard time getting past the dangerous pathogen lab in an airport.

The book is the second in a series of six stand alone novels in the STORMWATCH series. Each is written by a different author and this is the only one of the series I have read.

I found the plot to be a little unrealistic. That thousands of people would be stranded in an airport during an intense winter storm is reasonable. That there would be a secret High Containment lab containing deadly pathogens under the airport is the unrealistic part. Hinze spends some time trying to convince us why it is there but I just cannot see it.

The action and suspense is minimal. Terrorist do attack but the suspense is rather lack luster. The only suspense in the plot was really whether two people who knew each other in their teen years will rekindle the flame. I found it odd and disconcerting that Mason (bio-containment specialist) and Emma (security consultant) would be pleasantly chatting away when there is supposed to be a real concern over more terrorists invading the dangerous lab.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book through NetGalley. My comments are an independent and honest review.

DEEP..FREEZE......by.Vicki..Hinze
A winter storm closes an airport, underneath was a highly contaminated laboratory. Thieves wanted the pathogen and then to sell to the highest bidder. Mixed plot of mystery and some romance. With Dr Martin who runs. the lab, an Emma a rookie security consultant. A stand alone, and a series written by different authors. Was a short read and a good plot. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion by Net Galley. and Booksgosocial..

Short thriller set over a few days during a terrible winter storm. Part of a series but can be read alone. Good characters,fast paced story.

It pains me to write this, because ordinarily I love Vicki Hinze books. This one, however, is not up to the caliber of other books that she has written. The plot is not believable, and the story just doesn’t allow me to buy in. Granted, I have not read the first book in the series; maybe that would make a difference.

Winter storm Holly is descending on Colorado with a vengeance and Emma Miller is stuck at the Portal International Airport. She was on her way to her next assignment as a security consultant in the guise of an investigative reporter. Plans have changed and she is to assist Dr. Gregory Martin, a bio containment specialist. She and Gregory have been at cross purposes for years as she thought he wasn’t interested and he was waiting for her to realize that he was the one for her. Unbeknownst to the public, there is a high containment lab under the airport that was to be moved to Atlanta, but due to the storm has been postponed. Gregory soon realizes that Holly is not just a reporter as she works to counter a threat of a terrorist attack. It will take all their combined skills to protect the dangerous pathogens and keep the public safe. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

You win some and you lose some. This one I lost. Winter storm closes an airport under which lies a super secret high containment laboratory. The lab is under attack by thieves who want the pathogens (of the nasty anthrax, Ebola, Black Death sort) to sell to the highest bidder. A rookie security officer happens to be stranded in the airport and is drafted to help with the problem only to find that the scientist running the lab is an old boy friend or something. The story then really splits in two - is is a romance or is it a thriller? Falls short on both as far as I'm concerned. Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Winter storm Holly means big business as it bears down on Colorado with travelers stranded all over the state including Portal International Airport. Unbeknownst to the weary, trapped travelers, a top-secret High Containment Lab containing some of the deadliest pathogens known to man is right below their feet! And worse, there is credible evidence that an attack on the lab is imminent!

Emma Miller, a security specialist on probation posing as a reporter, who has been grounded in Portal on her way home from her last assignment but now is redirected to handle this emergency. She has been directed to protect a bio-lab located under the airport from a bio-terrorist group. She must assess the situation and keep the chatter about an upcoming breach from becoming a reality! Emma soon discovers that the director of the lab is Dr. Gregory Mason, a man from her past that is the one man that has always doubted her.

Dr. Gregory Mason Martin is a bio-containment specialist who runs the top-secret lab and knows Emma well. They grew up together and went to school together but in his mind, her "flighty" nature leaves him doubting her abilities to stop the threat and keep the lab safe from the terrorists determined to breach security to get their hands on the deadly secrets within the lab. With threats coming at them from all sides and lives on the line, Emma and Mason might just learn a few things about each other and themselves as they fight to keep everyone safe from both nature and the men willing to set off a pandemic of epic proportion for the love of money.

It's a race against time as a colleagues child becomes ill during an attack. Both Emma and Gregory must put away the past and fight to save them all. Before a deadly pathogen can wipe them all out. A fast and action-packed book that will keep you on the edge of your seat! I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.
