Summary: On My Keeper Shelf
Review: I loved this book! I think it is a re-release. This one is on my keeper shelf.I love the fact that she makes him grovel, and that when he does something wrong that she calls him on it. The killer was pretty obvious, it had an o.k. storyline. I loved the chemistry between the main 2. Definately a romance, if you like this book, I highly recommend Obsessed and Shadow Dance. They were great. Also, you would probably like Helen Myers and Lisa Jackson books. Also Erica Spindler is really good. And always, Nora Roberts and Mariah Stewart! If you want more mystery and less romance, I would try Robin Burcell, and Iris Johanson.

Summary: [AuthorZone] Book Review
Review: Olympic silver medallist, Sasha Miller, is the darling of the figure skating world. Even the drug scandal associated with her former partner, Lon Morrison, hasn't diluted her popularity or prevented her star from rising to fabled, glorious heights. Oh, her professional reputation has been tarnished by the whispers and innuendos, but Sasha has managed to rise above it all to embrace her childhood dream. Her provocative routines heat up the ice, and defy the conventional expectations of a figure skater: Sasha has a passion for skating, and it shows -- in every shimmy, shake and gracefully executed jump. No one would suspect the saintly Sasha of trafficking in drugs, however. No one, that is, except Special Agent Mick Vinicor of the DEA. Someone in "Follies on Ice," the touring show Sasha is a star attraction of, is selling high grade cocaine to junkies (and killing them with the drug's potency), and it's Mick's job to find out who's doin' the selling and then bust their sorry hump. This isn't his idea of an ideal undercover operation, though. Infiltrating the namby-pamby world of figure skaters is giving him the chills, in fact, and thoroughly testing his patience. Miller has gotta be as guilty as sin, but Mick is beginning to question his own judgment. Sure, lusting after his number one suspect is stone-cold stupid, but his gut is trying to tell him that Sasha is innocent...and the intended target of a would-be killer on the prowl. Conflicting loyalties and misplaced trust put Sasha and Mick on the warpath (once Mick's not-so-tiny white lies are exposed for what they are). On Thin Ice has reams and reams of thick, sexual tension to entertain a reader, however, and to compensate for this frustrating failure to communicate. Susan Andersen's Avon romances are by and large lighter, fluffier fare than this dark, somewhat plodding plot of romantic suspense. Night and day style wise, there are still certain commonalities to be found in this middling-to-high octane story: mainly, the spectacular chemistry percolating between Ms. Andersen's hero and heroine. Why, the sensuality level is pea soup thick, and steamy enough to fog melted glass! There's no questioning Mick and Sasha's compatibility as a couple, but there are a few lamentations to be uttered regarding the lack of honesty in their relationship (and the high-handed, alpha male posturing of a vulnerable hero striking out in a knee-jerk reactionary manner). I really can't deny my infatuation with Mick, however, or the appeal of his politically incorrect take-charge attitude. Sasha has plenty of spunk and spirit to combat Mick's free-roaming egotism -- or should that be despotism? -- at any rate. Strain will test the strength of her emotional reserves, however, and create an illusion of fragility, further inciting Mick's protective instincts. On Thin Ice has a thinly stretched suspense subplot that will easily crack under pressure, though, so it's best not to test or tamper with Ms. Andersen's premise. Nimble pacing of the storyline, spectacular sexual sparks, and complex, likeable characterizations make this novel a showstopper, if not an out and out heart stopper. Reviewed by C.L. Jeffries

Summary: Reissue, but read it!!!
Review: On thin Ice, is the story of Sasha Miller, an Olympic silver medal figure skater who survived the scandel of a pairs-partner who sold drugs in order to make money. Now he (Lon Morrison) is getting out of jail, and joining Sasha on the same tour, at the same time as Mick Vinicor, an undercover DEA agent. When Mick joins the tour, Sasha is his prime suspect. Since she was partnered with Lon, she must be responsible for the sudden reappearance of the spiked heroin once again hitting the streets where her figure skating tour stops over. Only once he meets her, this under-cover cop has to ignore his instincts in order to convince himself that Sasha should remain his number one suspect. The attraction is instant and mutual. This puts a new twist on the undercover-cop romance, as Mick tries to keep his objectivity but continues to fall for Sasha. She has no idea that she is suspected for drugs trafficking. And she feels the need to help keep Lon on the straight and narrow now that she has gotten him a job skating. even though this book is a re-print,it feels fresh and new. Neither the ideas nor the people are dated. The feel of the writing is gritty and enjoyable. The freshness of Andersen's writing still keeps, even after being out of print.

Summary: A different romantic suspense worth reading again and again!
Review: Susan Andersen wrote "dark" books, at one time. This is one of those "darker" books. Sasha's and Mick's story takes place on a professional ice skating tour. Sasha's partner was part of a drug deal. Mick is the cop who infiltrates her skating troupe, while trying to find the base of the drug dealers. During his investigation, he romances Sasha. She, of course, has no idea who he really is. Their relationship is volatile, sexy and very believable. When murder occurs, the action and suspense begin. Sasha and Mick are very appealing characters. The troupe is filled with interesting people. And even if you think you know all that's going on, you'll probably still be surprized by some of the things that happen. I've enjoyed this book more than once. I like the unusual setting; Mick and Sasha are great leads. And while this is a "darker" read; it certainly has it's light moments!

Summary: Chilling and passionate
Review: The re-issue of Susan Andersen's romantic suspense On Thin Ice remains every bit as hauntingly chilling as it was almost seven years ago. DEA Undercover cop Mick Vinicor's latest assignment takes him to investigate on Olympics ice-skating medalist Sasha Miller to recover the lost heroin that was unaccounted for during a drug-syndicate bust that sent her bosom confidante Lon Morrison to prison. Mick's cynical mind leads him to believe that Sasha is involved in drug trafficking. However that is before a deranged and cold-blooded killer is scheming to threaten Sasha's life as she warns the now-released Lon off drug-trafficking. Mick's protective streak stems from an irresistible attraction towards Sasha and finds himself steeped in agony over his lies and betrayal when love strikes. On Thin Ice offers razor-sharp thrills and a dimensional villain who is capable of terrifying malevolence as she is of garnering our sympathy. Susan Andersen masterfully sweeps in a passionate romance between a cop and suspect with erotic tension and emotional turmoil with detailed research on ice-skating. The hot passion between the chivalrous Mick and traumatized Sasha glides smoothly into the hearts of readers, dispelling the chills that linger with some terrific moments of evil and sabotage.

Summary: I Decent Read Worth Picking Up
Review: This is a re-issue as stated by previous reviewers but still worth picking up. This story was not as good as some of her other suspense novels and at times I had a hard time focusing on the storyline. The chemistry between the two main characters is good and more then makes up for the lack of suspense found between the pages of this story as well as the secondary characters that have direct links with the main characters Sasha, and Mick. If you like Ms. Andersen then this will be a good novel for you to pick up. Just don't expect it to be like her current books. She was working up to the great storyteller that she has become.
