Angel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her last day, the remote research station she's been calling home is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives...only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run.
Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman on their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable—and beautiful—place on earth. But what starts as a partnership born of necessity quickly turns into an urgent connection that burns bright and hot. They both know there's little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to weather the coming storm—no matter the cost.

Review: Whiteout is absolutely amazing, from the action and suspense points of view (though the romance isn't that bad either).
Angel Smith is a chef that due to personal issues accepted a position as a cook in an Antartica research station. Just when she's about to leave to go back home, she stumbles into a crime scene, which turns out to be part of a way bigger international conspiracy. Together with a former military man turned geeky scientist, she embarks on an epic journey through one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, intent on saving their lives and the ice samples within which, apparently, lies a deadly virus that cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.
During their journey they discover each other, both as individuals and as a team, and give in to the attraction that had been blossoming for months.
Whiteout is a book you won't be able to put down right from the first pages. I did have one problem with the ending, though. Not with the end of the story between Angel and Ford, but with what came later - right at the end, the supposed international conspiracy is magnified to extraordinary proportions, a host of new characters is added in and the epilogue is mostly a cliffhanger. It almost looks like the writer started the book as a stand alone and then right at the end decided to make it part of a series. To be honest, if the next books are as good as this one, I'll want to read them, but I would have still easily passed up the last pages of the Whiteout.
Other than the above, totally recommended.
Happy readings!
