I enjoyed this story, I got more of a feel for the recruitment process and training for the internship. There was a fair bit of angst but that’s fairly normal for students finding heir way in a relationship while under finals pressure, add in insecurities from up bringing it’s actually a wonder any young adults survive. There was some suspense and even a few heart stopping moments, lots of emotions and making new friends as well as cementing those made already. For a Y/A read this was worth reading. Started 23/3/21 finished 24/3/21
Ms. Adams set the roof on fire.The combustible attraction, the heated interactions and the volatile characters were a wicked combination. When the road mapped out doesn’t go according to plan, remember there’s always an alternate route. Kayla and Jake forgot that for a while, but fire and fate proved to be the perfect aphrodisiac for love. The Heat is On is a magnetic delight.
The Heat is On is a nice addition to the series. It is an entertaining read full of excitement, suspense, young adult angst, funny situations and dialogue and the growing pains of college life. This story takes place in the college world where life is all about fun, breaking rules, the opposite sex and, for some, hitting the books hard to prepare for the future. Kayla and Jake are complete opposites but there is something about the other that draws them both in.
Kayla Riggs is an uptight college student who follows rules, sets goals and makes plans and has her life planned out. She keeps her nose buried in her studies, taking no time to have fun unless her friends drag her out. She definitely does not have time for the hot fireman next door but try as she might, she cannot get him out of her thoughts and the fact they hooked up once does not help matters at all. She does her best to avoid him at all costs, especially since there is a revolving door of females coming and going from his place. She has no time for these distractions and no intention of being added to his list of conquests. However, after a girls night of drinking and fun her friends finagle their way back to her apartment and a careless incident has her neighbor coming to the rescue and her throwing herself in his arms. Their apartment building is now condemned and she has no place to go. An offer is presented that is too good to pass up…the only problem, she has to share with the sexy fireman she cannot get out of her thoughts. She knows this road will lead to disaster and she cannot afford the distraction but if she sets the rules…and gives him a written copy everything will work out…right??
