Fresh Fiction Review

Body Heat
Katherine Garbera

Reviewed by Barbara Boehler
Posted March 23, 2006

Romance Contemporary

Andi O'Roarke's life is about to change; even if she is determined that it should stay the same. Being one of the few female fire chiefs', she's worked hard to just be 'one of the guys'. Following in her father's footsteps, she's been trying to prove herself to her family over and over again that she can do it all on her own... Well, that is until she calls in a arson investigator, who happens to be as sexy as hell. Which really wouldn't be that bad except he keeps staring at her.

Tucker Fields was expecting to be in and out on this investigation. Nothing too out of the ordinary -- no one told him that he would be working with Andi. Not that working with a woman is bad, he's done it before, but he was never turned on by a fire chief before. Plus, he seems to keep sticking his foot in his mouth. For some reason, Andi's sassy attitude and the respect she gets from the men is what turns him on the most, but will he be able to get around that wall she has around her heart?

BODY HEAT is better then I thought it would be, although there wasn't much excitement from the investigation itself. The book revolves around Tucker and Andi, and how they find what they are missing in each other. The book is funny, sad, and steamy all the way through. All in all, I think Katherine Garbera did a good job.

SUMMARY

IS IT GETTING STEAMY IN HERE...

Andi ORourke is a fire chief and a darned good one-one of only a handful of women in the U.S. to make it. Raised in a family of firefighters, she's a natural, barking out orders and keeping her guys safe at the same time; and her big, tough guys respect her, treating her just like one of them. Away from her job, though, Andi doesnt have a clue how to handle herself with men. Thats why arson investigator Tucker Fields is so dangerousand so tempting. Tucker is no slap-you-on-the-back kind of guy; hes all man. A man who makes Andi feel sexy, alive, desired...

OR IS IT JUST US?

Tucker likes what he sees in Andi. He loves her passion. Her strength. That sizzling sexuality she tries to hide. He sees the ribbing she takes from the guys if she even puts on lipstick. To prove herself in a mans world, Andi has had to fight being a woman. But she's not the only one who knows how to give orders. As they spend days and nights on his investigation, Tuckers determined to start a fire of a different kind, releasing Andi's every inhibition and enticing her into losing all control as he shows her just how delicious being a woman can beand how good love can feel
