WoW~~HoT~~Find a quiet place to read & keep the Kleenex near ~~, June 3, 2010
This is the third installment in the Hot Shots Series by Belle Andre. You don't have to read them in order, but I suggest you do. The first installment, Wild Heat, is the story of Logan Cain, the Hotshot Crew leader and arson investigator, Maya Jackson. It was a great introduction to the Tahoe Pine Hotshot Crew. The second installment, Hot as Sin: A Novel, reunites Dianna Kelley with Sam MacKenzie, a member of Logan's Hotshot crew.
This installment is about wounded Hotshot, Connor MacKenzie, Sam's younger brother. He needs to distant himself from everything (everyone) and decides to renovate his family cabin in mountains of the Adirondacks. He never expects that his grandparents have rented the cabin to recently divorced, Ginger Sinclair, and he wants her out...out of his cabin...out of his life. She has other plans...she is standing her ground...and not giving in. The tension that builds between them is extreme...if I was a crier - then this book would have done it. Between the darkness Connor faces and the pain they endure - keep the Kleenex near.
There are other relationships in this book that are part of the sub-plot that assist with moving you through book, each could be considered novellas (even the supporting characters/plots are well developed.
The back cover stated that she is currently work on the next installment - I hope so - I am looking forward to the next book in the series - wonder who it will be about.

Smoking Hot and Emotional, June 30, 2010
Bella Andre writes another scorcher in her firefighter series Never Too Hot.
Hot Shot firefighter Connor Macenzie comes to his families cabin in the Adirondack mountains to recover and rebuild his life. Connor was severely burned and he needs to heal in order to return to the job he loves. He sure doesn't have the time or the energy to deal with the woman who says she has his cabin for the summer.
Ginger Sinclair is happy to be away from her old life. She has found her purpose at Blue Mountain Lake. Ginger can paint at will and work at the local dinner. She is shocked to find her landlords grandson laying claim to her cabin. But Ginger has a signed lease and will fight to stay at the cabin.
Connor and Ginger agree to co-habitat at the cabin. Connor is going to do repairs while he is there and will try not to get in Gingers way. But Ginger is a distraction that Connor doesn't think he needs. Though she may be the woman to heal him heart and soul. Ginger had had enough of men after the stunts of her ex husband. She is leery of Connor at first but his strength and character convince her that is his a man she can depend on for life.
Hot Shot is an intense story about second chances and letting people into your life. Ginger and Connor both have been scared by lives up and downs. They learn that they can open up their hearts and love again. This series is fast paced and emotional charged. I am eagerly awaiting the next book by this author.

Finally we get Conner!, January 17, 2011
First of all, let me start by saying that I am usually a big fan of this author. Almost every book I have read by her, I have enjoyed. With this book, I felt let down after eagerly anticipating Conner's story. If you have read the other books in this series, you know that Conner was severely burned and scarred in the earlier books. Now Conner is fighting through the pain of scarring and trying to get his life back in order. He is on his last appeal to join the Hot Shot crew again, something he desperately wants more than anything.
When Conner goes out to his families cabin expecting solitude while he renovates it, he unexpectedly comes across Ginger renting the place. His Grandparent's failed to mention this to him, and now finds himself under the same roof as the curvy and attractive woman.
While I enjoyed the love story that author created between Conner and Ginger, I feel that the author let us down with the suspense in this book. It was predictable on so many points, had little action outside the bedroom, and too many side stories going on that I couldn't fully enjoy the story of Conner and Ginger. By the end of the book I felt a little disappointed. I wanted so much more from Conner and Ginger, but I was too distracted by all of the other characters trying to find their happy ending as well.
Overall not a bad book, but not one of the authors best works. This could be read as a stand alone without reading the previous books, but to get the full impact of Conner's history and personality I would recommend reading the other books first.
