Luz Maria Montoya has spent the last three years pissing
people off for a living. She's spokesperson for the Voice
of Poverty and speaks for those who can't afford expensive
lawyers. Luz Maria has become Houston's gypsy warrior
goddess. Along with letters of admiration and marriage
proposals, she also gets her share of hate mail. But even
her self-defense lessons haven't prepared her for the
vicious attacker who has his hands tightening around her
throat. And then her world goes black.
Luz Maria has no idea who her deadly perpetrator is, but
she knows it's personal. Could it be someone who hates her
role as a community activist? Could it be her former
boyfriend (whom we loosely met in FADE THE HEAT) involved
in the violent group calling itself BorderFree-4-All? Or
maybe it's the partner of a cop whose life Luz
inadvertently destroyed. The man who's assigned to find her
attacker just so happens to be the one man she's not sure
she can trust.
Investigator Grant Holcomb does not hide his feelings
toward this Latino woman who ruined his partner's life. As
Luz Maria continues receiving threatening phones call,
Grant is torn between his loyalty to his dead partner and
his ever-growing respect and passion for this brave and
beautiful woman who's in terrible danger.
HEAT LIGHTENING is a page-turner. The whodunit plot is
gripping along with the flawed characters you can't help
but fall in love with. Ms. Thompson takes us on a roller
coaster ride of mystery and intrigue that will keep every
suspense/thriller enthusiast completely satisfied. The
sizzling and combustible love story makes this a perfect
read. Begin with FADE THE HEAT and finish with this winner.
It's terrific.
An unidentified man is terrorizing Luz Maria Montoya.
Almost strangled to death outside a deserted parking lot,
she has no idea who is the perpetrator of this very
personal hate crime. Investigator Grant Holcomb has been
assigned to find her attacker, but he makes no secret of
his conflicting feelings. As Luz Maria receives
threatening phone calls and grisly warnings, part of him
wants to protect the sultry Latina, while the other half
hopes the escalating tension between them will explode in
an electrifying burst of…Heat Lightning
