THEY’RE LIVING LIFE TO THE EXTREME…AND BURNING UP THE COLD MOUNTAIN NIGHTS
Only total desperation could reunite Dianna Kelley with Sam MacKenzie, the irresistible bad boy she walked out on ten years ago. But the fearless firefighter with the awesome wilderness skills is the only one who can take her where she needs to go. It’s a gamble—tracking down her endangered sister while keeping Sam and their undeniable attraction at arm’s length. Not easy when they’re trekking into a remote corner of the Rockies, where she’s got to trust her former lover with her life.
Despite their past, Sam never could refuse a damsel in distress, especially one who has haunted his dreams for years. He’ll help find her sister and get Dianna out of his system once and for all. But soon it’s hard to tell whether the greatest threat is from the rushing rapids, the deadly enemy on their trail, or the passion that’s sending them straight into the line of fire….

My summary of the book - After 10 years apart Sam still rushes to Dianna's side after hearing she was in a car accident and soon ends up helping her look for her sister. Soon the past catches up with them and they have to sort out the past to be able to sort out the present and future. The passion still sizzles between the pair and they can't forgot the love they had for each other those 10 years before.
Thoughts on the characters - Dianna seems like she has control of her life but when seeing Sam again she realises she never got over him and all the feelings come back to her in a rush which confuses her. When he says that he will help her find her sister she starts to realise what a true man he is and how he looks after her without insulting her own self. She realises that he is still the man for her and would do anything to keep him in her life.
Sam is a strong caring man who would do anything for the ones he loves and all he wants to do is to make sure they are fine so when Dianna needs his help he can't walk away. He manages to help trek through the mountains to find her sister and has amazing patience when trying to talk Dianna into riding rough rivers and climbing cliffs. He has never stopped loving Dianna and would love for her to be back in his life and they have the life they should have had.
Thoughts on the writing style - Very easy and engaging so not difficult to read and you can keep up with what is going on in the story.
Overall thoughts - Good book with passion, love and a bit of mystery and danger. Can't wait to read the other book in the series.

Not as good as it's prequel. Too much time spent on the characters lusting over one another. Where's the real bonding?
2 Nov 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sam is a "hot shot" firefighter who battles forest fires for a living. His life is certainly exciting enough, but we didn't get to see him living it in this story. Instead he is helping his ex-fiance, a woman who skipped out on him 10 years earlier, search through the forest for her abducted sister. The author, Bella Andre, worked at making the story a fast-paced adventure. Unfortunately, she watered the whole thing down by making every page a repeat of how much the h/h are lusting over one another. It got ridiculous. The heroine is supposedly afraid of heights, but while climbing a steep cliff she could only think about how much she wanted Sam. Page after page of the couple thinking nothing but "I want to taste her", "I want to see if he's as good as I remember", etc. I got really bored. I finally skimmed the last chapter just to get it over with. I didn't see anything between the h/h except painful memories of the past and lust.
"Hot as Sin" is the sequel to "Wild Heat". The first book is better. Here is the link:

great romantic suspens
31 Oct 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In a small Vail, Colorado café, television host Dianna Kelley meets her sister April who left home because her sibling was controlling and overprotective. Dianna wanted to make up for the years April was in foster care but she could not connect with her when April informs her she lives in a commune. Dianna explodes and April leaves; Diana drinks before driving and gets into an accident in which she is injured and the other driver dead.
In the Sierra Nevada range, firefighter Sam MacKenzie learns of Dianna's injuries. Although a decade has passed since she miscarried and left him, he runs to her side. When they meet again, the sparks that remained simmering for years ignites into a passionate firestorm. However both remain wary of being hurt so each hides their deep feelings from the other. Dianna learns April was kidnapped by someone seeking revenge. Sam swears he will rescue her sister, but Dianna insists on accompanying him on the arduous trek into the Sierras. On the dangerous journey, they realize not just how much love they share, but rejoice in revealing how much love they have for one another. However finding and rescuing April and surviving remain the goal.
Bella Andre has written a heated second chance at love romantic suspense starring a hotshot firefighter and a TV talk show host; each brings fear to their fiery relationship. April adds to the mix as a gutsy individual not waiting to be rescued. She makes the tale's thriller elements work with her courage and fortitude. Readers will relish this fine tale as April has choices to make and one wrong one could lead to her death.

Fair
19 Feb 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was fair. I'll start off by saying that I don't like books where the hero and heroine were lovers in the past. I like to read about people meeting for the first time and falling in love, not getting back together. I found it improbable that Sam would go running off to the side of his ex-fiance whom he hadn't seen in 10 years even if he did hear she had a car accident. I also think they fell back into each other's arms too quickly. Three days after being apart 10 years was a bit short to be believable.
There was very little use made of him being a hotshot forest firefighter. If a book is about a firefighter, there should be more firefighting in it. I also don't like when authors get around telling you who the bad guy is by calling him "the man." It wouldn't have hurt a thing to use his name.
The writing was decent. The dialog was a little corny here and there. Still I'm willing to give the next one a try.
