"Sirk’s assembled team of actors and craftspeople has never been better! Frank Skinner’s underrated score really carries this hurtling narrative from its first insane notes, dialing up the Euripidean melodramatics to levels worthy of the luridly saturated Technicolors lensed by Russell Metty. Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Lauren Bacall (of that certain age long before any other Sirk heroine), and the impossible-to-carbon-date Dorothy Malone, in a helmet of dead hair, whirl around each other like a mobile in a gale, all the while perfectly delivering dialogue as confected as Alexander Golitzen’s decors. Hard to believe Rock’s muse, Ross Hunter, didn’t produce this one!"

"The first book I really can see now if I shut my eyes was an extraordinary book called Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and it must be a 17th-century book…It contained the most hair-raising engravings of people having their guts pulled out and being burnt alive. In its time, it was a very famous book. Because no doubt it was a very valuable book. But I was absolutely fixated by these images of terrible things happening to human beings, human beings doing terrible things to other human beings. So Foxe’s Book of Martyrs is the first book which I can remember pages of if I just shut my eyes"

Had to just put this out there. They make this film and then bring back Sally from the original 50 years later. I'm sorry but Leatherface would have been about 70 if not older this guy bar a bit of grey hair looks to be in his 40s. I'm guessing it's not the same Leatherface Sally faced as he would kill everyone. In this she confronts him and he just walks off and leaves her alone until she shoots at him.
Was the usual annoying characters doing everything wrong and died because of it. You can have intelligent characters that get killed, it is allowed.

Bailey has hidden her true identity for years. Will she be able to set aside the charade, forgive herself for her past and open herself to love?

In 1866 it is unheard of for a woman to be a successful rancher. But that is exactly what Bailey Wilde has done. Through hard work, sheer determination and hiding that she is indeed a woman, her ranch is thriving. Partly due to the fact that she has homesteaded directly across the opening to a lush canyon owned by Gage Coulter. Gage will stop at nothing to get his canyon back, even if it means blowing up the mountain. Bailey's sisters have both married and moved away just as winter is setting in. As she endures the frigid winter months alone, she longs for companionship. And then Gage shows up with a proposal that could drastically change their lives. Will they both be able to overcome their stubborn independence and work together as a team? Will their fire and ice spark into love along the way?

         "That's not God refusing to forgive you...It's you refusing to forgive yourself."

Fire & Ice was a wonderful completion to the Wilde sisters' stories. Mary Connealy's unique story line was very interesting. I did get frustrated with Gage's attitude a couple of times, and the situation was never fully resolved. But all in all, this is a tremendous story of the journey of forgiving yourself. My only real complaint about this book is the cover. Bailey is described multiple times as having warm hazel eyes that burn like fire. But in the picture, she has very blue eyes. Her hair is also described as short, yet curly. And the picture shows straight hair, there is a picture on the binding with her hat removed showing very straight hair. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but there you have it. The cover aside, Fire & Ice was yet another wild journey of the last Wilde sister finding forgiveness and love. This book can stand alone, but I highly recommend reading the whole series!

I received a free copy of Fire & Ice from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
