With three jobs and a past that won't leave her alone,
Bethany is not looking for romance. After a chance encounter
with detective Damian, she can't help but think romance
might be looking for her. The two feel a connection they
can't ignore, and soon they are agreeing to start a
relationship. As much fun as Bethany is having with him, she
can't fool the detective when it comes to evasive answers
about her past. Before long, Bethany will either have to
face the consequences that will come when she tells him the
truth or Damian will be forced to see for himself when the
past won't leave her alone.
DESERT HEAT by Elizabeth Reyes is an enjoyable read with a
mystery that will evade you until nearly the very end.
Bethany is running from something from her past, and while I
had several theories while reading, none came close to what
the real story was. The mystery will keep you turning the
pages and even occasionally getting frustrated over it, just
like Damian. The real story might be a little disappointing
after so much build up, however.
Though I love the intrigue, I wasn't so on board with the
romance. Bethany and Damian do have some great heat between
them, but I had a hard time connecting with them and
supporting their relationship. They discuss numerous times
how they have such strong, special feelings towards each
other from the start, but it's hard to see exactly what
those feelings are actually based on. But even though it
wasn't a romance for me, I could easily see readers who are
more fans of quick and extremely romantic romance enjoy it
more.
If you enjoy fast love and some nice steamy scenes, DESERT
HEAT would be a good book to try. Elizabeth Reyes tells a
story filled with mystery, suspense, and chemistry. Though
it wasn't my favorite, I will definitely still look for more
books from Reyes in the future.
Between running from her past, working three jobs, and
worrying about her family, the only thing that could further
complicate singer Bethany Amaya’s life is falling in love.
But after serendipitously attending a speed dating event and
meeting the intense and sexy detective Damian Santiago,
that’s exactly what happens. In the blink of an eye, Bethany
is caught up in a passionate affair with the most
irresistible man she’s ever met.
As their romance heats up, Damian’s skills of detecting and
reading body language begin to raise his suspicions. Bethany
is keeping something from him. But Bethany refuses to get
Damian caught up in her troubles. She feels that some things
are better left unsaid. With everything suddenly working
against her, the race is on to fix her life before the truth
is revealed and Damian finds out it’s even worse than he
imagines.
Steamy and addictive, Desert Heat is the story of a fiery
whirlwind romance threatened at every turn by a dark secret.
