TURN UP THE HEAT is the first book in Kimberly Kincaid's
Pine Mountain series. It is where you meet Bellamy
Blake who is having the worst week ever. She has just
learned that her boyfriend, Derek Patterson, the local
anchorman, is moving to California and hasn't said a word
to her about it. When she confronts him he gives her those
three stupid words "it's not you".......seriously? What was
she thinking??
On top of that, she is a real estate analyst for the second
largest bank in Philadelphia, and her job is awful. Her boss
is impossible, and she just isn't happy there anymore. She
sees a billboard on her way home one day, and it's for Pine
Mountain, 100 miles away. That is exactly what she needs,
time away from her life. She gets her best friends, Jenna
and Holly to go with her on a much needed road trip.
On the way up to Pine Mountain, Bellamy's car dies and she
walks two miles to the only service garage in the area.
There she meets Shane Griffin, a very sexy and delicious
looking mechanic. Sparks fly immediately, and Bellamy agrees
to having him fix her car; only it's going to take a week.
A week she doesn't have, but what can she do? While she is
stuck waiting for her car, she runs into Shane at the local
bar. Wow! He is sure hot, and she is very attracted to him,
but Shane is sending mixed signals.
Shane is convinced Bellamy is totally out of his league. He
has a few secrets that he keeps to himself, but he can tell
Bellamy is a city girl and used to a certain way of life.
Something he has no desire to be a part of, but will he be
able to fight the instant attraction he has to her? The
banter between the two of them is hilarious and laugh-out-
loud funny.
If you think TURN UP THE HEAT is going to be a cheesy love
story, you will be happily mistaken. There is a deep
secondary story here. I love how Kimberly pulled me right
into Bellamy and Shane's lives, and I felt like I was
sitting right there with them as they made their life
changing and gut-wrenching decisions. Wait until you find
out what Shane is hiding from Bellamy!
TURN UP THE HEAT will make you hot! The sex scenes in the
back of Shane's truck will have you pulling important parts
off of your car in hopes of meeting a garage mechanic just
like Shane! I read TURN UP THE HEAT in one day and was
flipping the pages like a mad woman! I just had to know
what was going to happen to feisty Bellamy and sexy Shane.
TURN UP THE HEAT should be on everyone's e reader today!
Pine Mountain has become one of my new places to visit over
and over again.
There are only so many times a girl can hear those words
before she believes that it is, in fact, very much her.
Unexpectedly jilted by her locally famous boyfriend and
haunted by a boss who makes Attila the Hun look like a lap
dog, Bellamy Blake does what any self-respecting girl in her
shoes would do. She rounds up her two best girlfriends and
makes plans to get the hell out of Dodge. . .
But Bellamy's escape plan takes a nose dive on the side of
rural route 164 when her transmission self-destructs,
leaving her in the middle of a cell phone dead zone with
nothing but her wits. Oh, and Shane Griffin, the hottest
mechanic who's ever checked under her hood.
Yet this small-town man isn't all he seems. Can Shane and
Bellamy prove that sometimes the most unlikely ingredients
make the most deliciously sexy mix?
