"Full of slow simmering heat that explodes!"
Jake Lowell wasn't usually comfortable in a fancy outdoor
restaurant drinking sissy drinks, but he was glad to meet
his sister Rina here whenever he could, just so he could
watch the woman who worked here. The sexy waitress with
the auburn ponytail captivated him, and occupied his
thoughts . . . and dreams. Although the pair had never
spoken, Jake knew she felt the same attraction to him. Jake, a New York City detective, was recuperating from a
bullet wound received in an incident that killed his
partner and best friend. He was also keeping a secret of
the physical therapy he was involved in, hoping to restore
his body's strength and nail Frank's killer before the
department found out and put him back to work on other
cases. While he recuperated, he sure was enjoying
fantasizing about the waitress. Brianne Nelson couldn't help being aware of the man who
visited the café several times every week. He was the stuff
of fantasy, with his jet-black hair and sexy grin. If it
weren't for the undeniable fact that he was committed to
the woman he met here several times a week, Brianne might
be tempted to do more than fantasize about him. Rina would have to be blind not to see the mutual
attraction, and, being a loving sister, sets out to do her
part to get the pair together. Neither Brianne nor Jake
had any idea about the mischievous plot Rina was hatching,
or how it would affect them both. BODY HEAT is another in the Sexy City Nights series, and it
lives up to its title. This is a story of simmering
heat that builds slowly before it explodes. Jake and
Brianne's relationship is inevitable, but Carly Phillips
takes her time, letting the affair come to life gradually.
When it does—stand back! Ms. Phillips, an accomplished author, has crafted a
delicious story with great settings, appealing characters,
and breathtaking love scenes. The book reveals tantalizing
glimpses of the city at night, showing shapes and
suggestions instead of making the city the star of the
story. Wisely, Ms. Phillips allows her main characters to
stay at center stage, where they belong. BODY HEAT, like all of Carly Phillips' books, is not to be
missed. Martine Bates for Heart Rate Reviews
