Sheila Donahue is a very noble heroine with a lot of pressure on her shoulders. Her mother died a few years before, leaving the responsibility of caring for Mely on her shoulders. Mely has multiple sclerosis, and Sheila cares for her as best she can. She is also working on her doctorate, which doesn't leave much time for a love life.When she is offered a job as a translator for a week, she allows herself to be convinced to take it, despite her already busy schedule. The pay is extremely well, and the money will definitely come in handy. Sheila knows the life insurance money from her mother's passing won't last forever.Immediately I like this heroine. She's in a tight spot, but she continues to plow away at life in the hopes that things will get better. When she meets Cruz Terranova and realizes he's her boss, she's immediately physically attracted to him.... In a very steamy way. The author is very descriptive with this initial attraction, and boy could I feel the heat. By the time she was done with this scene even I was wondering what he looked like naked.... *wink*!Monica Hart has created a book right up there in quality with Harlequin novels (which I adore) and pumped them up a notch, with steamy sex scenes that practically sizzle off the pages. This is not your everyday, romantic read. The plot takes twists and turns that are extremely realistic and exciting to read. It's a real page turner that kept me engrossed to a tearful, cliffhanger ending.If you enjoy reading epic romance, you will love Castilian Heat. I give it five stars for the creative plot, steamy sex scenes, and emotional, heart-filled writing. Can't wait for the next one!Author Rose Wynters
