[...]Two super hot neighbors and a set of open blinds between them. What do you think will happen?Everything.And let me tell you, when you're done reading, you'll feel Scorched, too.I know when I read a story by Desiree Holt, it's going to be hot. Add in the element of Allie Standifer and the story blazes. I felt like I was right there on the little cul-du-sac with Kasey and Skyler, taking part in the voyeurism and loving every moment.Ms. Holt and Ms. Standifer have a way of creating characters that stick with me long after the last page. In the case of Scorched, I haven't stopped thinking about Kasey or Skyler. I have a soft spot for cops and Skyler doesn't disappoint. I could see him in my mind and he was darned sexy. What at first irritated then endeared him to me was his sense of fear -- fear of losing everything. Cops have a lot to lose when push comes to shove and tend to be closed off. I liked the realism of his emotions, even when he drove me nuts. To me the mark of a great character is to snag the reader so that he or she is emotionally involved. I am very much involved.Kasey is an interesting conundrum of a character. She works the prim and proper slash wild child act well. She reminded me of Clark Kent. I loved her way of dealing with Skyler as well. She stood her ground and it was great.I even loved the brothers and am hoping Ms. Holt and Ms. Standifer help me out by writing them stories. Yes, I am waiting.If you want a story that's hot, hot, hot, then you need to read Scorched. It's a keeper. I give it 4.5 cherries.
