Liked this story. Was in the compilation SEAL's of Summer
I liked this novel very much. As I said in a previous update, the author really nailed it in regards to the survivor's guilt Tye was feeling, and the struggle he was having developing feelings for his dead Teammate's fiance. I also liked how the relationship between Katie and Tye developed, and I was even okay with most of the ending. Once again, I wished it didn't end in a marriage proposal. I'd have been okay with it ending it with both characters deciding they were in a real relationship and loved each other, despite the circumstances that brought them together.
This story is really about how tragedy can end up being what brings you the best things in your life, and I can always get behind a message like that.
Also ridiculously attractive service men never goes wrong. Not ever.

Tye Callahan feels the loss of his SEAL teammate, Kade, deeply, especially since he blames himself for not recognizing that the kid in the Afghanistan village was carrying a gun. Tye's summer in Strong, California taking over Kade's smoke jumping job is only part of the reason he is there. Before his death, Kade asked Tye to look after his fiancee, Katie, so he is fulfilling Kade's last wish. Tye knows from Katie's letters to Kade that she is lighthearted and fun, but he doesn't anticipate his attraction to her or the fact that she has not accepted that Kade is gone. However, Tye is determined to make sure that Katie is all right before he moves on.
Smoking Hot brings together many different emotional aspects of what happens when a loved one does not return from war; most of those, however are short-changed in this book. PTSD, art therapy, survivor's guilt, and MIAs are all touched on in this story, but the purpose is clearly the romance between Katie and Tye. That aspect of the story is pretty well developed, making this book worth the read.

Kade was not coming back from Afganistan. Tye had seen him get blown up. Kade had asked Tye to look after Katie, his fiancee, if anything ever happened to him. So, Tye was on his way to Strong to make sure Katie was okay and to fill in for Kade on the smoke jumping team for the Summer. He felt responsible for Kade's death. According to Katie, their engagement was fake and they were just best friends. She also didn't believe Kade was dead. Tye didn't count on falling for Katie himself. Nor did he count on the phone call he received that changed everything.
Anne Marsh writes some of the most amazing smoke jumper stories EVER!!! I always think I'm reading the best one until I read the next one and it's even better. Alpha man, bad-ass, sexy, gorgeous, Navy SEAL Tye Callahan takes my breath away. The chemistry between him and Katie is sizzling. You might want to keep a fan close by because it gets pretty HOT! The pond scene was very dramatic and had me holding my breath until it was over. It was a scary and emotional moment for them. Super intense! I can't wait to see what this amazing author comes out with next.
