SERIES ROMANCE |4+| Keren Childers
REVIEW:
Joel Hightower loves his job as a fireman
until one career-threatening injury threatens to destroy his livelihood. Joel
must go through extensive physical therapy. He meets his physical therapist
Samantha Dash. She definitely lights a fire in him from day one. Neither is
prepared for their attraction towards one another. Can they both set their
issues aside and go for it?
Ms. Bolton introduces two sassy, opinionated characters. Joel is hilarious,
outgoing, and a jokester at times. The man is fine, built as hell and has the
package to get any woman he wants. Unfortunately his accident has left him
grumpy and hard to get alone with. Samantha is opinionated and knows how to
handle anything that comes her way. She’s beautiful and smart. The two have
bumped heads a many of times. Joel can’t seem to get Samantha out of his head.
Samantha wants to play by the rules and handle things professionally. Things
don’t always work out that way when attraction towards one another is
unbearable. I enjoyed the sparring between Joel and Samantha. These two are a
match made in heaven.
The plot was on point and connected very well with the characters. There wasn’t
a slow pace in this book. I actually read it in one day. Ms. Bolton mixed humor
and some great love scenes that added fuel to the fire. The secondary characters
only enlightened the storyline. Reuniting the entire Hightower family was
enjoyable. This family is unique in the way they care about each other. They are
supportive of one another and that is needed everyday in families. The in-laws
Penny and, who could forget, Carla only added humor to the story. Saving the
best for last, no one in their right mind can ever forget Aunt Sophie. This
woman gets your blood pressure up every time she opens her mouth. Boy did she
meet her match with Samantha. I truly enjoyed the scene with Samantha and Aunt
Sophie.
I commend Ms. Bolton on an excellent job. MAKE IT HOT is a must read.
