REVIEW

"Slow Burn heats up fast"

Maggie LaRue suffers amnesia, not able to recall her name or why or how she ended up trapped by a fire in an abandoned paint warehouse. In fact her first memory is the arms of the hunk that rescued her. Her second thought was how she feels so safe in his arms and for that matter whenever she is near her hero paramedic Cale Perry.

Cale provides Maggie a place to live while she recovers her memory. He finds having her around is not easy on his libido as he wants her and believes she feels the same way too. However, both worry what will happen when she remembers her life before Cale to include possibly a husband and a family.

Though readers will question Cale's altruism in providing a refuge for Maggie, fans will enjoy this hot entry as the couple burns up the pages even when they just talk. The story line delivers a heated tale, but it is the growing relationship between the lead duo as the pair struggles with desire and love and fear when they learn the truth about Maggie. Book one of Jamie Denton's "Some Like It Hot" trilogy is a strong opening gamut.

Summary

Is it getting hot in here?

Maggie LaRue doesn't know who she is. All she remembers is passing out in the arms of a gorgeous man. When she awakens, she's in a hospital, apparently lucky to be alive. Injured in a fire, Maggie doesn't know her real name or what she was doing in an abandoned paint warehouse all by herself. The one thing she's sure of? Her overwhelming desire for sexy paramedic Cale Perry...

Determined to help Maggie, Cale offers to let her stay with him until her memory returns. But staying platonic isn't as easy as he'd hoped...and it's definitely not what his body wants! He knows he should keep away from her, that he'd only be taking advantage of her. But if he's right, Maggie's feeling the heat between them, too...
