This is the second book in the Feel the Heat series and if you are after a read with red hot chemistry, snark, a kidnapping or two and a sneaky grandmother, then this is the book for you.  Yes it sounds an odd combination, but it really works.I admit I wasn't sold on the blurb for this book, but something told me to give it a shot. After all I've read and enjoyed the first in the series Wicked Heat. Geez am I glad I did. I read this book in one sitting. I didn't want to put it down.  The playfulness between the two main characters Dominic and Zoe was a highlight. Yes they had lots of chemistry which made for a hot read, but how Zoe didn't pander to Dominic even though he was both a prince and a client was really refreshing.The snark and flirting was funny and at times hot. These two couldn't keep their hands off each other and it made for some interesting times. Dominic is a character that will keep you on your toes trying to figure out if you like him or not. Personally I liked him from the pool, but wanted to slap him at one point. You will understand what I mean when you read it.Newly minted advertising executive Zoe Keaton needs to land this account. Full stop. No doubts about it. Or her advertising business with her best friend will go under. She travels to a small island in Italy determined to land the contract and save the business. What Zoe didn't expect to see when she arrives early for her appointment is the bronzed god that comes out of the pool at the castle.Prince Dominic Ricci, touted a recluse, after loosing his parents and fiancé all within a year. But in reality he's a shrewd businessman. One who doesn't want the planned changes to happen on his family owned property. Plans that the blonde ad exec is here to convince him to agree to.After a steamy poolside introduction, they meet for the planned sales pitch, but when the only pitch that happens is when Dom pitches a fit and storms out of the meeting, his adorable grandmother Queen Catarina colludes with Zoe to kidnap him and keep him on his family island during a big storm so he can hear her out.  But what starts out as a plan to get him to listen quickly turns into something more, as passion flares to life and they do little to fight it. Why not take advantage of mother nature and slake the desire that rises between them ?But as they learn more about each other and rapidly start to fall in love, can their past mistrusts and views on love stop the inevitable from happening ? She's a California girl, he's a prince. She's scared of love, he's been hurt before by someone he trusted. What happens when they go back to the main island and reality rears it's head ?Grab a comfy seat, your reading device and sit back and enjoy the ride that is this book. If you haven't read the first, go on and do it, because in this story you will get to catch up with Allegra and Jett. I for one will be keeping an eye out for another book in this series or a spinoff with Catarina playing matchmaker perhaps ???This book was supplied by the publisher for an honest review.
