Yesterday I started a recommendation list and then asked #RomBkLove Twitter for their recs, this is what they delivered!
These are just to give you ideas. Feel free to interpret Fire and Ice as freely as you like. I will continue to add recs to this thread as people send them in.
I hope the #RomBkLove Reads challenge brings you joy in the New Year!
Fire:
I also whole heartedly recommend all of the Hidden Legacy books by Ilona Andrews. The 1st is Burn for Me, 2nd White Hot & 3rd Wildfire. Excellent rom & worldbuilding #rombklove

Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs.
The Hot in Chicago series by Kate Meader is about a family of firefighters.
Sasha Deviln probably can furnish the most complete possible list of “snowed in” romances. π

How flexible are these categories? There’s a great Tessa Bailey where the heroine is an arsonist. It’s called Up in Smoke.

On the “fire” half of #Rombklove, Keri Arthur has a Phoenix shifter series. (I don’t know if that’s paranormal or more urban fantasy.) And Marjorie Liu’s “Within the Flames”, both hero & heroine have fire related abilities.
