Hot as Sin: A Novel (Hot Shots Men of Fire)

Ten years ago Dianna Kelley and Sam MacKenzie were on the verge of getting married, when tragedy struck. Being young and not knowing how to cope, Dianna ran. The years have passed, Dianna has become a well-known TV personality, Sam is still a Hot Shot firefighter. When word comes of Dianna being in a terrible car accident, Sam forgets the past and knows he needs to see her to make sure that she is okay. Dianna is shocked to see him again, though not unhappy. But danger follows and their past is thrust behind as they scurry to find a kidnapper. Can these two overcome their past to forge a future together? HOT AS SIN is definitely a scorcher. Bella Andre created phenomenal characters in a backdrop that was easy to slip into and follow along. I absolutely loved how Ms. Andre kept Dianna and Sam from keeping the past in the past, forcing them to bring their problems to the forefront, where they had to talk about them and work them out. Their chemistry ignited the pages with their smoldering passion, but not only that, we were able to see them as two people who had more in common than great sex. I was a bit perturbed that Sam's young age was continuously brought up when speaking of the past mistakes, but Dianna's even younger age wasn't mentioned until much later in the story. I was absolutely able to understand them both so much better when I realized just how young the were when they first parted. I'm avidly awaiting June 2010, when Connor's story, NEVER TOO HOT comes out. Bella Andre is an auto-buy for me, and her Hot Shot series is not to be missed. Reviewed for: Night Owl Romance

I read a few negative reviews on this book but still wanted to read it after reading the first book Wild Heat. Sam and Dianna's story was a good read and you felt for the up brining that both Dianna and April had. Sam and Dianna's previous relationship showed that they where not mature enough to be together and even though the 10 years they where seperated was not what either wanted the time to find their feet and then refind each other was a good read. My only disappointment was with the ending, you understand that they will work it all out but I wanted to know how they where going to stay together and still juggle thier respective careers? Maybe in Sam's brother Connor's book coming next she may touch on it? But my recommendation if you liked the first one go forth and read this one.

i love Bella Andre so naturally this book is awesome!!! i would definitely recommend this book to any modern romance novel fan.

I really enjoyed this book. I read the first one, Wild Heat. My interest was caught from the first page. I prefer to read books in order, so I would suggest you get both books and read them back to back.

In a small Vail, Colorado café, television host Dianna Kelley meets her sister April who left home because her sibling was controlling and overprotective. Dianna wanted to make up for the years April was in foster care but she could not connect with her when April informs her she lives in a commune. Dianna explodes and April leaves; Diana drinks before driving and gets into an accident in which she is injured and the other driver dead. In the Sierra Nevada range, firefighter Sam MacKenzie learns of Dianna's injuries. Although a decade has passed since she miscarried and left him, he runs to her side. When they meet again, the sparks that remained simmering for years ignites into a passionate firestorm. However both remain wary of being hurt so each hides their deep feelings from the other. Dianna learns April was kidnapped by someone seeking revenge. Sam swears he will rescue her sister, but Dianna insists on accompanying him on the arduous trek into the Sierras. On the dangerous journey, they realize not just how much love they share, but rejoice in revealing how much love they have for one another. However finding and rescuing April and surviving remain the goal. Bella Andre has written a heated second chance at love romantic suspense starring a hotshot firefighter and a TV talk show host; each brings fear to their fiery relationship. April adds to the mix as a gutsy individual not waiting to be rescued. She makes the tale's thriller elements work with her courage and fortitude. Readers will relish this fine tale as April has choices to make and one wrong one could lead to her death. Harriet Klausner
