2.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as it's prequel. Too much time spent on the characters lusting over one another. Where's the real bonding?, November 1, 2009
This review is from: Hot as Sin: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
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:

Fair, February 18, 2010
This review is from: Hot as Sin: A Novel (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.

great romantic suspens, October 31, 2009
This review is from: Hot as Sin: A Novel (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.
