Sparking His Interest (Temptation)

Rating:
Summary: fiery investigative romance
Review: In Baxter, Georgia, the first arson fire was in a real estate office; the second occurs in an office supply warehouse. Fire Chief Ben Kimball decides he needs outside expertise so he persuades Atlanta to lend him fiery expert Cara Hughes though he knows his brother police lieutenant Wes will be unhappy that an outsider is coming to investigate the fires.

Wes resents Cara as much as he wants to eye witness whether she really sleeps with a switchblade under her pillow. Cara is used to taking charge and makes no exception as to who will lead the inquiries. Still she reciprocates his desires so as she investigates the blazes with his help, she and Wes heat the sheets. As they fall in love while she tries to stop a fire bug from hurting someone, Cara knows she is big city while Wes realizes he is small town. Compromise seems impossible for this duet.

This heated contemporary romance stars two fabulous heroes struggling with their passionate need for one another while trying to stop a potential serial killer from hurting someone. The story contains two torrid subplots, a fiery arsonist burning the town down and a fiery romance burning the sheets down. The heroic lead pair is likable and admirable though Cara at times may cross from assertive to aggressive as the male cops and firefighters resent her intrusion. That is just one more reason why this fire investigative romance will provide plenty of heated pleasure to contemporary fans.
