Review: Up and Down Story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 5, 2014
Heat by Jamie K Schmidt is an up and down kind of read. The relationship of push and pull between Mallory and Colleen was one of the most noteworthy parts of the story. That was very realistic, in that sisters are often close and annoying at the same time. While I wanted to really like this book, I had trouble with the main character, Mallory in her other relationships from the one with her sister. I guess I found it hard to believe that she would run instead of standing and fighting against her ex, David. Then his sister, Chrissie, seemed to be more of a problem but that had nothing to do with Mallory leaving her town and job. Since she was an ER Doctor, which is a pretty tough job, I expected more of her. Plus, she would have known professional people who could have helped her without her having to leave her job. So with all that, I just couldn't see her with Max.The story had humor, strong chemistry and steamy scenes between Mallory and Max. If I had seen Mallory as a stronger character, I would have rated this higher.3.5 stars overallCopy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
