It is quite apparent that Monica Hart writes with her heart. Her debut novel will be a hit amongst book lovers across the globe, groupies of EL James, Beth Kery and lovers of romance. This contemporary story of fate and desire will keep readers on their toes and even the most seasoned erotica fans will find themselves blushing and running the water for a cold shower before the steamy sex scenes have ended. A trip to Spain stimulated the author's thought process, and with her wit and talent, Castilian Heat was born. Her writing has a knack to hold one's attention by describing things so wonderfully, that it's almost like watching a movie instead of reading a book. The setting of NYC is so vivid, one could almost hear the echo of the persistent honking of horns from the yellow cabs and our muy caliente hero, Cruz Terranova oozes charm that only a Spaniard can that women will swoon instantly when he is finally introduced. The author's love of books and horses ties into this tale perfectly as they're both subtlety mentioned, but still play a significant role ( bookworms will want to visit the personal library of Cruz!). The dialogue is on point and flows effortlessly throughout without disturbing our focus. And, our heroine Sheila has a sister who has Multiple Sclerosis which is somewhat unexpected to learn of in a passionate love story, but it's a nice accompaniment which makes this modern day fairy tale more realistic than most. Also, a huge applause for Hart who handled the subject of a horrific hurricane delicately where most of the eastern seaboard is still recovering from Hurricane Sandy less than a year ago. This lovely tale is fantastic, and we will be waiting with baited breath for her next one.
