Hot-Blooded Hero

Donna Sterling has done it again...won my heart to her characters. I adored Cole--who wouldn't--but I thought Tess a warm, yet honorable woman who knew her own heart and did not let anyone mess with her head. Brava, Ms. Sterling!

TOO many times, a female writer, writing from a feminine perspective, gets caught up in her lady characters though a slight foray into the man's emotional make-up is expected. I was absolutely blown away by Cole, the perceived "playboy," and the gut-wrenching emotions he dug out of himself and even me. His passion is incredible, his outpowering of love, devotion, and fidelity balances a trembling fear that after learning to love for the first time, he might not be able to keep the woman he never knew he wanted. Wonderful book! It completely wrung me ragged.

Donna Sterling's books keep getting better and better. She writes with charm and grace, creating characters the reader can't help but enjoy. Above all that, Ms. Sterling has a strong and real understanding of how to create a wonderful romance. Delightful!

Hot anticipation, shocking sensitivity, auburn hair and a superbly detailed plot make this one of my favorite Sterling masterpieces. I admire the artistic balance in this work and am looking forward to future balancing acts from this truly gifted novelist.

Highly reccommend. This book had everything. Humor, passion and a very plausible witty storyline that ran in the lines of "Romeo and Juliet". I have read all Donna Sterling books and she never lets you down. As with her others, you won't be able to put this one down. Thanks Donna, for providing such heart warming entertainment.
