If you have not read any of these Icebreakers books, then you don’t know what your missing! Filled with romance, suspense and action, and never boring! Cynthia Eden makes her characters come alive! And man I did not see that ending coming. This is FBI agent Oliver Foxx and Larks story. When her brother is arrested as a serial killer by none other then her boyfriend, it’s up to Lark to prove his innocence!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ out of 5
I’ve said it once (on probably more than once) and I’m going to say it again- Cynthia Eden knows how to write a romantic suspense that will keep you guessing until the end! For most whodunnit books I always can tell who did it but I think this is now the 3rd book of hers that kept me guessing till the end!

Our heroine’s brother has been arrested for killing women who look exactly like her, and the man that arrested him was our heroine’s boyfriend (which clearly turned ex boyfriend very quickly). Our heroine is out to clear her brothers name and she swears she has new evidence that will help him. Our hero (the ex) can’t let her put herself in danger so is along for the ride to see if he did lock up the right man, but can the heroine forgive his betrayal?

This book had the perfect amounts of steam and suspense and I was hooked till the end! Cynthia Eden does it once again!

Buried Under Ice by Cynthia Eden I am a big fan of Romance books and I found this one to be a very enjoyable read. I will be looking for more books from this author.

I absolutely love the Ice Breakers series and was so excited to read this book. Cynthia Eden never disappoints and this installment in the series is no different. But I do think things in this book are more intense than ever. The relationships between all of the characters are certainly complicated and there is a lot of hurt between the main characters. I was really rooting for Lark and Oliver to figure things out and be able to move on from what happened in the past and find a way to let themselves be happy with one another.

Oliver is so sure that Lark's twin brother is a serial killer that he was willing to do absolutely anything to prove it and put Lane away. Including hurting Lark in the process. That isn't what he set out to do and it hurt him pretty badly to be in the position where he felt like he had to, but it gave Lark some pretty good reasons to not want to have much to do with Oliver when he came back around. This was of course a recipe for a love story that is going to put you through it and that's exactly what Cynthia Eden has done here.

I laughed, I cried, I raged both with Oliver and with Lark. I was also continuously trying to guess what the truth was and what was really going on, what all of the answers were. Every time I thought I had made some progress and was close to the right answer, Cynthia Eden pulled the rug out from under me and have me guessing all over again. I strongly recommend this entire series, and while they can all be standalones, the characters are all intertwined in the books throughout the series because of this wonderful universe that Cynthia Eden has created. I received a free ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All words and opinions are my own.

My go to romantic suspense author has done it again. Oliver and Lark steam up the pages and the mystery grabs you and doesn't let go. I was glued to the story. The characters feel so real and there are times I wanted to shake Oliver. It's a great read when you're emotionally invested. I really hope Lane gets his own book. I'm also excited for Midas's story.

BURIED UNDER ICE is the seventh 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 FBI Agent Oliver Foxx, and florist Lark Lawson’s story line. BURIED UNDER ICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Lark and Oliver) BURIED UNDER ICE follows in the wake of the arrest of Larks’s brother Lane. Five months earlier, FBI agent Oliver Foxx broke Lark Lawson’s heart. Oliver and the FBI believed Lane’s brother was a serial killer, and Lark became a pawn in Oliver’s quest. Fast forward to present day, wherein Lane has hired the team at Ice Breaker to prove her brother is innocent but within days Lane finds herself a target when the ongoing threats against her life become more personal and dark. Enter FBI Agent Oliver Foxx, and the man who vows to protect Lark with his life. What ensues is the acrimonious but rebuilding romance and relationship between Lark and Olive, and the potential fall out as the threats against Lark continue to grow.

The world building is complex and detailed. While the FBI, and the local Vegas Police believe they have a killer in custody, the team at Ice Breaker continue to search for the truth. As the incidents increase, law enforcement refuse to accept the possibility of another suspect, and Lark’s brother is targeted in prison.

The relationship between Lark and Oliver is a second chance romance. Months earlier OLiver destroyed Lark’s heart and her faith in humanity when her brother was arrested for a series of murders. Believing she was used by Oliver and the FBI, Lark is determined to prove her brother’s innocence but at every turn, Lark is a target by the people of Las Vegas, and the FBI. Oliver wants a second chance but Lark refuses to accept that she wasn’t played by the man she once loved. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and questionable secondary and supporting characters including Lark’s brother Lane, numerous FBI agents and Ice Breaker investigators, as well as several potential suspects.

BURIED UNDER ICE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, murder and mayhem, secrets and lies, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive ; the characters are determined, desperate, broken but healing.

He did a bad, bad thing...

Well, he did many bad things, mainly to Lark Lawson. Oliver Foxx, in the name of his "job" and getting close to Lark so he could track down her brother, he did all the bad things to Lark.
Can Oliver make up for using and seducing Lark and then imprisioning her brother, keep her safe from a stalker (cuz in Eden's world they are everywhere). Lark is bent on getting her brother out of prison. She has trust issues and let down her guard to let Oliver in in three months and was MAJORLY burned by Oliver.

Lark, hands down is a Bad A. She can take care of herself and rescue her own brother, thank you very much. Does Oliver do his job? But does Oliver properly make amends? Does he grovel approprioately? Hmm. He totally needed to grovel a hell of a lot more.
Recommend.

Although she has only known FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx, for three months, Lark Lawson is in love. Should she tell him how she feels? His reaction, when she does, is not what she expected. Instead, she learns that their romance was all a ruse to investigate her twin brother, Lane. Lane has been arrested for murder and not just one murder, but three. It has always been just the two of them since they were teens and there is no way her brother would commit such heinous acts. She has lost everything, her business, her home, her safety, but she can’t lose Lane too. Desperate for help, she contacts the Ice Breakers, a cold case unit, for help. Oliver never thought he could feel this way about a woman, until Lark. As her brother is attacked in prison and she is threatened, can Oliver keep her safe or will the Bridal Killer claim one more victim? Suspense, strong characters and witty dialog make this a fast paced read. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

The Monster Hunter!!

She fell in love but he broke her heart. Oliver Foxx is a FBI agent looking for a serial killer any way he can even if it means using his sister. What he didn’t bargain for was falling in love himself.

“For you, I’d be a monster in a heartbeat. I’d do anything to keep you safe.”

Lark knows her brother is innocent now she just has to prove it.

When you pull duty with Oliver, you’re in for a dark ride to he"" and back.

This is a fast paced ride that keeps you guessing until the shocking conclusion. You’ll never see the end coming until it hits you in the face.

This is the seventh book in the Icebreaker world and though this story isn't about one of the members of the team they are employed by one of the main characters. Lark Lawson had her heart broken when the man she loved FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx used her to get close to her twin brother Lane and had him arrested as a serial killer something Lark knows he isn't So now she has employed Icebreakers to prove his innocence the only problem is that has put her in the crosshairs of a killer the man she believes is the real serial killer that framed her brother. As danger threatens her Oliver knows he can't allow the woman he loves to be in danger and will do whatever he needs to keep her safe even if she may never forgive him. As danger closes in and the FBI target Lark can Oliver keep her safe and can she prove her brothers innocence This is a fast paced second chance romance that has plenty of action and suspense to keep you engaged until the last page

Buried Under Ice is an exciting second chance romance by Cynthia Eden. Being part of the Ice Breakers series it is also a suspenseful, full of danger story too. An Ice Breaker member is not one of the main characters but they are still supporting characters in thriller. Lark Lawson is willing to do anything to clear her brother’s name and get his release from prison as a serial killer. FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx, her former boyfriend is the one to find the evidence against Lark’s brother.

Once Lark begins to mount an investigation then it is clear that a killer is after her. The same one who she believes framed her brother? This series has very good previous books but this one is one great read, from beginning to end. The dangerous killer is especially good at keeping his identity close to the chest so that it is difficult to solve. Many twisty surprises especially towards the end kept me reading until the conclusion. Exciting, nail biting, as well as swoon worthy.

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

Yay!

Oliver finally gets the girl! He and Lark face so much and have mountains to climb but the connection keeps them going. Their love is palpable and I'm so glad the story worked out the way it did after so many twists and turns. Can't wait for more!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Buried Under Ice is the 7th book in the Ice Breakers Series by Cynthia Eden and quite possibly my favorite series of all time from this author. This one is all about FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx and florist Lark Lawson and it is explosive to say the least. Without ruining or spoiling the enjoyment of this awesome read, suffice it to say that Lark’s twin brother is in prison for a crime she believes he didn’t commit and Agent Fox is the one who put him there. Oh boy! As with all of Ms. Eden’s story lines, there is suspense, drama, twists, turns and deception, and as always, there’s that emotional depth that Ms. Eden brings out in her characters. The story flows easily and quickly but intensely. I always find it hard to stop reading once I start because each chapter builds upon the next and I find myself not wanting to put it down. There’s always that well-developed emotional connection among her characters that never fails to bring me to tears at some point in the book. I have really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this Ice Breakers Series and I can't wait for Midas' story Ice Cold Kiss! I’m very grateful for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book through NetGalley.

Buried Under Ice is another great addition to the Ice Breakers series. Fast-paced, emotionally captivating from the first page to the last, Oliver and Lark's story is a story of secrets hidden behind masks, of not getting what you see and of a love that's just meant to be and therefore too strong to be denied. It's also full of unexptected twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very last. This is my personal favourite in the series so far, a definite addition to my keeper shelf and the next book can't come soon enough!

Buried Under Ice (Ice Breaker Cold Case Romance Book 7) by Cynthia Eden
The Ice Breakers is one of my favorite series by Cynthia, FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx lied to Lark Lawson. He used her to build a case against her twin brother. He is also obsessed with her and hated to hurt her - but he is sure her brother Lane is a serial killer. There is deception, evil, suspense, lies, some laughs and tears, love/hate, danger, mystery, plenty of steam to keep my heart warm, and twist at the end that gets us to their HEA. I can't wait for Midas' story ICE COLD KISS.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Wonderful characters Great world building Romantic Action-packed Happily Ever After Tear-jerker Haunting Twisted Easy-to-read Witty Scary Entertaining Tragic Informative Unpredictable Page-turner Steamy.

This is another book in the Ice Breakers series. Wasn't much of the Ice Breakers. Just Oliver keeping Lark safe while she is finding the serial killer that framed her brother. Even though Oliver doesn't believe that Larks brother is innocent, he helps Lark find the truth.
