In HOPE IGNITES, the second installment to the Hope series, Jaci Burton pairs a somewhat grouchy rancher and a sweet and endearing actress together to make a heartfelt romance that readers will adore!

Logan McCormack isn't the kind of man to be starstruck. However, when he rents out his farm property for a couple of months so that a Hollywood movie can be made, he doesn't ever expect to be taken by the lead actress, Desiree Jenkins.

There's something special about Des. For one, she isn't caught up in her appearance so much that she seems high maintenance. Des is quite frankly the most down-to-earth person despite her high celebrity status. Whenever Logan and Des are together, he remains unruffled by her occupation but cannot deny that her presence stirs something within him. Yet Logan isn't willing to commit to anything but hot-as-hell sex, and for now Des isn't either.

Yet as time goes on and more details about Logan's past concerning his mother are revealed, readers will discover the reasons why he is so unwilling to commit to others. His ranching lifestyle keeps him distanced from people, and while that may have suited him just fine before, the concept of friends and family make Logan rethink his loner status.

In this slow burning romance that sizzles and sparks with universal appeal, HOPE IGNITES takes the glitzy part of Hollywood and places it into the small town of Hope, bringing the story the best of both worlds. Though technically the second in the series, I believe that HOPE IGNITES can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. However, I will warn you that Jaci Burton infuses her stories with addicting qualities. I am confident that readers will want to read the others in the series once they finish with this romance.

Fans of Bella Andre would appreciate Jaci Burton's take on the small town romance. Weaving together heat and heart in an enticing mix, HOPE IGNITES possesses everything a reader wanting an escape will ever need.
