PNR Review: Born of Ice (League, No 3) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Born of Ice" the 3rd book in her League series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Product Description

In the Ichidian Universe, the League and its ruthless assassins continue to keep rule. But at what cost? Welcome back to the future and a whole new world.

Devyn Kell spent his life in service to the League until he learned of the double dealing and backstabbing that was costing innocent people their lives. Refusing to play those politics, he became a Runner — someone who makes sure planets get the weapons, medicine and supplies they need to survive. May the gods have mercy on any who get in his way, because he definitely won’t.

Alix Garran is a woman on the run from a past she can’t escape. Signing on to work for Devyn as a System’s Engineer, she finds a cause she can fight for — and a man she can respect. But as Alix’s past catches up to her, and Devyn’s old enemies turn lethal, they have to fight together or fall alone.

My Review:

This story is about Devyn Kell (notorious C.I. Syn and Sahara's son) and Alix Garran a civilian.  Devyn became a doctor and then joined a military group The League.  He left after an incident during a battle and now The League among other agencies want him dead.

Alix Garran, her younger sister and mother are arrested slaves.  Alix is sent to use her mechanical skills to get hired as Devyn's mechanic to win their freedom.  During her mission she realizes that Devyn and his crew aren't the bad guys that were described to her and she also falls hard for Devyn.

Alix reminds Devyn of his ex-fiance and he is extremely attracted to her.  He tries to keep his distance from

her and keep their relationship a working one but eventually gives into their mutual attraction.

There were some interesting characters especially Vik with his sarcastic remarks and it's always nice to see old friends from previous books making appearances.

4/5
