Superhero Fiera's alter ego Fiona Fine has designed the
wedding dress for fellow superhero Karma Girl, and that's
the main reason she's shown up to see the former reporter
marry Striker, another member of the Fearless Five. It's
just Fiona's good luck that Johnny Bulluci is in
attendance, and the two strike sparks off one another from
the moment they meet. Unfortunately, getting to know one
another takes a backseat when ubervillains Siren and
Intelligal crash the wedding and attempt to make off with
all the guests' jewelry. Using her super sultry voice as a
weapon, Siren soon has all the men willing to do her
bidding, and it's Fiera and Karma Girl who save the day.
Fiona and Johnny are soon seeing one another, but it's
another encounter with Siren and Intelligal that reveals
Johnny's dark secret to Fiona. Johnny Angel, the motorcycle
riding protector of the innocent believed to have been
killed months before by one of Intelligal's super bombs,
has been resurrected and is out for vengeance. And Johnny
Angel is none other than Johnny Bulluci, grandson of the
original Johnny Angel and son of the murdered Angel.
Although Fiona understands Johnny's desire for revenge,
murder goes against the superhero code, even for
ubervillains, and she finds herself defending the villains
from the man she loves. It's only when the entire city is
threatened with mind control by the evil Siren and
Intelligal that Fiera, Johnny and the rest of the Fearless
Five unite with a common goal.
HOT MAMA, Jennifer Estep's follow up to the
exceptional KARMA GIRL, is another can't-put-down, laugh-
out-loud adventure! This one delves a bit more deeply into
the personal lives of the Fearless Five, revealing more of
the quirkiness of a group of misfits who've banded together
for the greater good and created a place for themselves in
society. Fiona handles her need for vast amounts of food
with humor and her coming to grips with a new relationship
after the death of her fiancé is touching. Johnny is a
perfect foil for this out-there woman, and their
relationship is at turns tender, funny, adversarial, and oh-
so-sexy! HOT MAMA scores big and has a spot reserved on my
bookshelf right next to KARMA GIRL! I can't wait to see
what Ms. Estep comes up with next!
By day, Fiona Fine is a successful couture designer,

By night, she's Fiera, a superstrong superhero who can
create and manipulate fire with her bare hands. Fiera,
along with the other members of the heroic Fearless Five,
make life miserable for the ubervillains who want to take
over the city.
But Fiona's personal life isn't so fine. She still misses
her fiancé, who was killed by ubervillains a year ago. But
men admire Fiona's smoking assets, and she decides to get
back in the dating game – especially after she meets Johnny
Bulluci. But this notorious playboy has plenty of secrets
to go along with his sexy smile. And, with two new
ubervillains in town who are intent on raising hell,
Fiona's love life might just crash and burn ...
