"A torrid romance"
New York City may be hotter than a matchstick, but to
injured police detective Jake Lowell the temperature is
below freezing when compared to his BODY HEAT. Jake's
takes nightly visits to The Sidewalk Cafe not so much
because of the food or service, but because he cannot takes
his eyes, mind, or libido off of waitress Brianne Nelson. Though a sexy woman often accompanies him, Brianne
returns Jake's fantasies, especially late at night. She
has no social life as she works during the day as a
physical therapist and the night on waiting tables.
However, Jake's beautiful companion turns out to be his
sister Rina and she hires Brianne to provide her brother
with physical therapy on his damaged shoulder. Rina performs matchmaking magic as she manages to turn
Brianne and Jake into roommates at least for the summer.
Soon Brianne and Jake raise the heat between them even
further, but she has obligations and he has one failed
marriage already plus a need to capture the individual who
killed his partner during the incident in which he hurt his
shoulder. Now she is in danger because his target has a
new victim to use against Jake. BODY HEAT is more than a spoonful of love during a
summer in the city. The tale is torrid as Carly Phillips
skillfully employs massage techniques to ignite the plot.
The story line contains suspense elements, but truly
belongs to the relationship between the lead characters
that keep readers erotically aroused just by the way Jake
and Brianne look at one another let alone a massage or
two. Keep that significant one handy. Harriet Klausner
