3.5
3.5 Stars just feels right for this one, but I'm not sure my justification will make sense.
I've read some phenomenal books by this author. My favorites will forever be the Sweetest Taboo series. And this one was good, but it was the first one that I didn't find myself wishing was longer. The writing in this one was also quite a bit more dense than I remember. I struggled a little bit since I tend to read with toddler sized distractions running around.
Still, where Heated didn't differ from the author's other works was the oh holy mama sexual tension that just might make the pages combust. Hell, I wanted to jump both Zora and Cyrus, the author makes them that sexually appealing.
I reserve the right to revist this one in the future because I simply refuse to believe it wasn't a 5 star. It has to be me.
