HOT POINT by M.L. Buchman is a fast-paced, action-packed romance that thrills in all of the right places. Vern and Denise are fascinating characters that draw the reader in, and make them really care about their future. There is a lot of technical detail in the Aviation department but I thought this added to the overall feel of the novel, making it realistic and believable. The romance between Vern and Denise is firefighting hot and I really enjoyed the development of their story. HOT POINT by M.L. Buchman is a pleasure to read for action and romance fans alike.
