Heated by Naima Simone
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book!
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Heated is about a woman named Zora and a man named Cyrus. Zora is part owner of a business called BURNED, Inc., which she owns with her two siblings. At BURNED, Inc., they take on clients who want to break up with their significant others and do it for the clients. Zora meets Cyrus through work and instantly has an attraction to him. I can't say much more than that without spoiling, in my opinion!
I quite liked this book! Zora's an amazing character. She's strong but also honest with herself when it comes to her insecurities. Cyrus is also likeable, and he becomes even more so when you learn his backstory. I enjoyed each character separately and together, which always makes the reading more enjoyable for me. They brought out the best in each other and I could really feel their connection and attraction to each other.
There were some very small things that I didn't really like or understand. Zora's reaction to seeing a picture of Cyrus was a little too much for me, personally. I also thought the climax of the book came a bit late, though everything was wrapped up nicely in the end.
This is my first Naima Simone novel and I'm definitely interested in reading more. I wonder who the next book will be about, since this says it is the first in a possible series!
