Review: Much better than book 1
Rating: 4 out of 5

After reading the first book in the Heat Wave series, I knew I wanted to continue to see what the author had to offer. Last Call was a great book. It was so much more engaging and intriguing then Savin' Me. I immediately fell for Gavin, even though the opening paints him out as kind of a jerk. And Sunny...she is a fantastic protagonist. She's strong, feisty, fun and willing to take risks. Together, Gavin and Sunny are smoking hot from the very second she misunderstands his drink order.The story was not what I was expecting. I didn't expect either of the main characters to have such interesting and heartbreaking backgrounds. It was nice to learn that they had more in common than one could see from the surface. There were great elements of mystery and suspense that kept me wrapped up in the book even when Sunny and Gavin were apart.As much as I loved Gavin and Sunny, I despised Callie, Gavin's boss's daughter. She was annoying, obsessive, and a rich little princess. By the end of the book, I actually really liked Callie and I appreciated her character arc from beginning to end. I would love to see more of Callie someday; perhaps she'll get a story of her own or maybe a short. Hopefully, we'll get to see more of Gavin and Sunny one day and she can be in that.I really liked this book and I am so glad that Savin' Me piqued my interest enough that I wanted to read more by Alannah Lynne. I look forward to reading the next entry in the Heat Wave series that takes us back to the cast of Savin' Me. We finally get more Kevin Mazze!Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
