Heat by TL Travis

eliezrah's review

5.0

This was such a great book; I couldn't out it down. Campbell & Daughtry were so sweet together. They both had things that hurt them in the past and I loved seeing how they were exactly what they other needed. It was a story or discovery & acceptance that I absolutely loved. This was completely different from TL Travis' usual stories, but was written just as beautifully as her other works. This will be a definite reread.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.

This isn't my first book by this author, but this one is definitely the best I've read of theirs. The only reason I didn't quite go to 5 stars is that I had a hard time getting into the book, but I kept at it and I am so glad I did. It's got great characters, a wonderful plotline and is well written.

HEAT is part of the "ABC's of Love Series" and it is the first time I've read a book by this author.

What I enjoyed about this story is the realism of the small town feel.  This is a story of an awakening.  An awakening of sexuality, an awakening of acceptance, an awakening of BEING your authentic self.

I really enjoyed this story.  It was simplistic in its nature yet so complex.  

I would recommend this story and will be reading this author again.
