Dianna Bellerose's book Fire and Ice is the story of a loving and joyful woman, Nancy, who unwittingly marries an emotionally and physically abusive narcissist. Nancy puts all of her energy into pleasing her husband, making a loving home for their daughter, and meeting the needs of her family. Every time, her efforts are thwarted by the alcoholic rages of her husband and the meddling of his mother, who never accepts her spoiled son's choice in Nancy as his wife.

If you have been in an intimate relationship with a narcissist, an abuser, or an alcoholic, you will find yourself in this story. You will see clearly that you aren't losing your mind and that the behaviors of these types of abusers are consistent with their disease, not caused by you. It's written engagingly and you will not be able to stop reading until you find out how or if Nancy takes back her power.

Dianna Bellerose is a champion of women's rights and strongly encourages both women and men to find their most productive and joyful self and nurture that. Her character, Nancy, spends many years just as she did, trying to make other people happy. If there is a moral to this story, it's that we all have a right to be authentic and to joyfully pursue our own interests and passions. I hope she writes a sequel because I can't wait to see what happens next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Alcoholism, Domestic Violence, Financial Trouble, Controlling Parents
Reviewed in the United States on 13 February 2013

This book is raw. But I suppose it should be raw. The main character is trapped in an abusive relationship. Like so many bad marriages, this one features alcohol fueled domestic violence, financial problems, and dominating parents who cherish control more than love. The book has a choppy style, but perhaps it is appropriate for the horrific decades long travesty that Tom foists on Nancy. I didn't like reading the book, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good book. At times the language was difficult to parse, but that also doesn't mean it isn't a good book. There are no flowing phrases or descriptions of beautiful people. The only literary part of the book occurs during a brief vacation to Hawaii. Again, perhaps it is appropriate that the only pretty part of the book occurs during ten days when the abuse stops and the parties can relax in the sun and the smell of the flowers. The staccato, sometimes disjoint style was initially annoying to me, but then as I continued to read, as I suffered through episode after episode with Nancy, the style began to match the story. When you read this book, read it start to finish, in one go, and let the style, tone, pace, and language become part of Nancy, and how a woman like Nancy would tell her painful tale.

2.0 out of 5 stars It wasn't the book for me...

Nancy and Tom are high school sweethearts who end up marrying. Tom's mother has never approved of Nancy and is constantly belittling her to Tom and trying to cause problems in their relationship. Tom is immature and does whatever his Mom tells him to do. Nancy is naïve and thinks that love can conquer all. She finds out that Tom is not the person that she believed him to be. He becomes an alcoholic and abuses her. They have a daughter and he still continues his poor behavior.

The story line of this short novel is good, that people aren't always what they seem to be. I appreciated that the author showed Nancy as a character who wanted to keep her family together. However, I do not agree with a woman staying with a man who abuses her. I was really upset when Nancy stated that every problem in their marriage was due to her in-laws. Tom was a grown adult who made his own choices, so their problems were created through him, not his parents. His parents contributed to some things, but ultimately he was responsible for his choices. The story is told from a third person perspective and I felt that it was disjointed at times. When the characters did have dialogue, the things that they said were very unrealistic to me. This is my opinion of the book, it wasn't the book for me, but you may like it.

I downloaded this book when it was free on amazon.

Nancy falls in love with her childhood sweetheart, Tom. She is heartwarming and very likable, but soon the pitfalls have Nancy realizing she has some decisions to make.Tom is not exactly like she remembered. He has a few issues that get on her nerves to say the least.How many times do we find out people are not who they say they are? I really felt the struggle between her and Tom. I can't wait to read more from this Author!
