Going away seemed to be the best thing he could do yet meeting her again and knowing the attraction still there is hard. He knows it is wrong but he wants her. Rick has done things that he regrets but for a good reason. Vee is lost and confused. Going out with Justin seemed okay first but her heart wants Rick, his brother.

Yet it is also a place that she gets to know the real Rick. Can she figure out what is going on before her life destructs?

I have to say this is not what I expected at all. I have to say it confused the heck out of me and wanted to feel some balance between them. Rick just seemed to aloof and disappearing all the time. Vee just didn’t seem real to me and added to the whole Rhett thing just didn’t do it for me. Sadly I have to say not a good one for me.

So when I signed up for this book I thought alright some good hot stories by talented authors. Yet after the fifth story in this book I was left unsatisfied. All of these stories are really short give or take 20 to 50 pages for me it’s not enough. The one I thought might have gone more was the third, Captivated. Sadly for me it didn’t do it and like I said expected more from these authors.  Unfortunately,  Take The Heat just didn’t do it for me. There were scenes here I didn’t like to see some were hot but others just went over what I usually want in a love scene. Hopefully the other books from these authors are better.
