Sizzling! Very highly recommended

The days might be hot and humid, but New York City nights sizzle as Jack Lowell returns again and again to THE SIDEWALK CAFE to watch the sexy waitress. Just the sight of her rouses Jack's curiosity and encourages his imagination. Her blazing smile inspires a plethora of fantasies, feeding the raging inferno within. Indeed, few things have piqued his imagination since a shooting sidelined him and took out his partner. Yet even the shoulder injury and the determination to seek retribution for the loss of his fellow officer isn't enough to curb the desire that blazes with such a force that it causes him to return day after day just to watch her.As the sizzling awareness rages into an inferno, Brianne Nelson's fantasies center around the sexy stranger who returns night after night to the cafe. Working two jobs and carrying immense responsibility has robbed her life of fun, and just the kick she gains from seeing her fantasy man is enough to add new vitality to Brianne nights. Her day job, however, soon leads to an incredible opportunity to make enough money for a life of her own. Rina, the woman who frequently accompanies the sexy stranger, hires Brianne to be her brother's physical therapist. While Rina is out of town over the summer, Brianne to moves into Rina's luxurious Manhattan apartment to work with her brother.Jack doesn't need a live in therapist, nor does he want his sister's matchmaking. And now the woman he's desired for months is becoming his roommate. Once Brianne arrives, it's impossible to cover his previous shoulder recovery. Jack was using his injury as a cover to find the perpetrator of his partner's killer, and Brianne can't be fooled. Worse, as a cop with a bad marriage and divorce behind him, Jack doesn't need a new relationship. And his interest in Brianne is too much to contain in a no strings, unemotional affair. Something sizzles between them more than just lust. Further, her presence puts her in danger as the drug-dealing murderer realizes she can be used to get to Jack.It promises to be a long, hotly seductive summer in BODY HEAT as author Carly Phillips playfully uses the skill of physical therapy to create a heated romance. Indeed, Phillips works massage therapy, water therapy and glass lined workout rooms into erotic encounters that fuel the heat to become a blazing inferno. In addition, the sympathetic characters and fast paced plot keep the reader thoroughly absorbed. Provocative, seductive, and hot, BODY HEAT is a keeper that comes very highly recommended.

*This* is what a Blaze should be.

Take one message therapist (who works a 2nd job to put her brother through college) and one injured detective (who's a bit less injured than he lets on), add the detective's good-intentioned, matchmaking sister and you've got the recipe for a summer of steamy loving. Jake Lowell had been seriously injured in a drug deal gone bad that also took the life of his partner and friend. The department says he doesn't return until he's fully rehabilitated, but unbeknownst to his sister, Jake's been working hard getting back into shape. He just doesn't want the higher-ups to know yet. He has a plan and he can't execute it if he's back on the job. Brianne Nelson is working two jobs for money to help her brother through school. By day, she's a physical therapist. By night, a waitress at a sidewalk café. The very same café Jake and sister, Rina, frequent regularly. The looks Jake gives Brianne don't go unnoticed by Rina and when she learns what the pretty young woman does during the day, Rina hatches a scheme that gets the two of them together. Brianne's intent on getting Jake back into shape, but all Jake can think about is getting Brianne into the whirlpool and all the fun they could have. To Brianne, Jake is all that's erotic and arousing, but with it comes the insecurity and uncertainty of a man dedicated to the law. Brianne evoked in Jake a warm feeling he hadn't felt in a long time, but he knew she, like his ex-wife before, didn't want to give her heart to a man who might not come back for supper. But for the summer, they'd revel in each other, take each other to new heights of ecstasy. Their plans, however, take a dark detour when the drug dealer who injured Jake and killed his partner starts stalking Brianne. Will Jake be able to intervene in time to save the woman he's come to love? BODY HEAT lives up to the Blaze name with blazing hot love scenes between two impassioned characters. A masterful blend of emotion, good plotting and a good supporting cast, including a Sharpei named Norton, make for a standout story.
