Summary: action-packed romantic suspense
Review: In San Diego, Mary Alice Parker drops her friend Christine Chambers off by the yacht, but before Mary Alice can reach her car and leave the bay area, Christine and boyfriend Donnie Markham die in an explosion on the Dynasty Corporation owned craft Dynasty I. Mary Alice ponders several recent conversations in which Christine worried about the unknown activities, perhaps illegal that Donnie performs for Dynasty Corporation. Soon Mary Alice begins to wonder if a double homicide occurred to eliminate Donnie from the company rather than the official opinion that an accident happened.She investigates leading to her sneaking on board the Dynasty II just before the vessel sets sail for Belize. On board along with the female stowaway are Agent Jake Dawson and two thugs. When one of the goons finds Mary Alice, Jake claims her as his and makes it clear that if she wants to survive this trip without rape and death she must pretend to be his beautiful bimbo bunkmate. However, feigned sex begins to turn into love complicating the complex even further. HOT RAIN is an action-packed romantic suspense that contains quite a wallop of a story line. Though why Mary Alice insists on making inquiries including trespassing when no evidence existed seems out of character is a mystery in and of itself. Still, fans will relish her feisty behavior, as she appears like a modern day Rosie (Hepburn) to Jake's Alnut (Bogart) in the African Queen. Kat Martin has written a strong tale that sub-genre fans will enjoy the ride. Harriet Klausner

Summary: it's a great title....
Review: It's a great title, but I'm having a hard time getting through the book. The "heroine" is a let down - saying that she's not too bright, is not fair to not-too-bright people. What woman in her right mind would say to a guy holding her captive, "Why don't you want to rape me?" There's really little plot and action, and almost no characterization. But lots of sex. But not great sex.

Summary: oops
Review: One of the characters in this book states that they are sailing south (from California) to Belize. . .except you can't do that because Belize is on the Gulf of Mexico. Why don't editors catch this sort of thing? It ruins these books and helps to give romance a bad name. Other than that: 3 out of 5 for a cardboard-cutout banana republic and its bad guys, a predictable plot, and a main character with all the spark of a dim bulb. But, Jake's a hunk!

Summary: Great romance, mediocre suspense
Review: The title and cover caught my attention, and the premise is one of my favorites (undercover hottie with a heart of gold meets his match). The romance wasn't a let down, and the sex scenes were great. However, the action was a little slow. Especially at the end- I really expected more of a climax in the jungle. Like a dramatic "you or the girl" at gunpoint moment or something. But the end is sweet and funny, and the hot sex kind of made up for the not-so-hot action.

Summary: Yawn...
Review: This book was so drowsy, I had to stop reading it half way through; it was a cliche romance novel with absolutely no suspense. (Well, it may have had a bit, but I couldn't stay awake to experience it.) All in all...this book should be rated "Z" for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Summary: This book is a keeper
Review: When I read this book I actually felt for Allie of what she was going through with losing her best friend. Know when Jake came into the picture I thought man what an attractive guy. I rate this book five stars I couldn't put it down.
