Sizzling Seduction (Kimani Romance) [Mass Market Paperback]

Gwyneth Bolton (Author)

Book Description

Series: Kimani Romance | Publication Date: October 1, 2009

Firefighter Patrick Hightower will take any risk in the line of duty. But risking his heart again? That's something he's vowed never to do. He prefers scorching affairs--the briefer, the better--though he might make a temporary exception for smart, sexy teacher Aisha Miller. Only Aisha isn't interested in exploring their instant, searing connection--no matter how much she feels the heat.

Aisha has had enough of dominant men trying to control her life, and the gorgeous firefighter who visits her kindergarten class is alpha male through and through. Yet the gentler side Patrick shows, especially around her young son, gradually melts her reserve. As shadows from Aisha's past resurface, she'll discover just how far Patrick will go to prove she's found her real-life hero.

More About the Author

Gwyneth Bolton was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey. She currently lives in Syracuse, New York with her husband Cedric. When she was 12-years-old, she became an avid reader of romance by sneaking her mother's stash of Harlequin and Silhouette novels. In the 90s, she was introduced to African American and multicultural romance novels and her life hasn't been the same since. While she had always been a reader of romance, she didn't feel inspired to write them until the genre opened up to include other voices. And even then, it took finishing graduate school, several non-fiction publications, and a six-week course at the Loft Literary Center titled Writing the Romance Novel; before she gathered the courage to start writing her first romance novel. Gwyneth has a BA and an MA in English/Creative Writing and a Ph.D. in English/Composition and Rhetoric. She teaches classes in writing and women's studies at the college level. She has won several awards for her romance novels, including four Emma Awards and the Romance In Color Reviewer's Choice award for new author of the year. When she is not teaching or working on her own African American romance novels, she is curled up with a cup of herbal tea, a warm quilt, and a good book.For more information, visit her website: http://www.gwynethbolton.com

Thanks to Gwyneth Bolton, I now have a thing for firemen. This book was awesome. I loved that Patrick realized from the very beginning that Aisha was different from the other women that he'd had flings with in the past. He was very patient with her and an excellent father figue to her son. I am also glad that Aisha realized that Patrick was nothing like her ex-husband and decided to give him a chance.

It was great to catch up with the other brothers and their wives and especially Ms. Carla. I really hate to see this series end because they were all well written stories and there is nothing like a man in uniform.

I HATE that this is the final installment to Hightower Honors series...but it's quite an ENTERTAINING and HEARTWARMING conclusion...and OH, BOY do I love me some Patrick...he IS THE MAN...in or out of his fireman's uniform...he's DEFINITELY got it going on...and he patiently works his "magic" on Aisha and her son Dillon...they made the PERFECT blended family...I was so glad to see Celia FINALLY give dear ol' Aunt Sopie what she REALLY deserves...once again the full cast of characters are LIVELY and UNFORGETTABLE...I can't wait to read Terrell and Maritza's story...talk about some DRAMA...this series is a MUST read...you will NOT be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars What is the definition of a "Real Man"? Patrick Hightower, May 7, 2011

I loved this story. With everything Aisha and her son Dillion went through; it was nice to see a man come in and step up to the plate and be the man that her and her son needed. Her ex-husband was a straight up PUNK. I never been one for Firemen; but after reading this book, I am willing to reconsider. Out of all of the Hightower brother's stories; this is truly my favorite. A "Real Man" = Fire Captain Patrick Hightower.
