ARC Review: Into the Heat by Tamara Lush

Into the Heat is the second book in the Burning Secrets series by Tamara Lush. Each book is a standalone story though, so if you haven't read the first book like I hadn't you can easily read this one on it's own. This was my first book by Tamara Lush, but it won't be my last. I enjoyed this second chance romance, and I really liked Tamara's writing style. 

Leo joined the Marines and went off to Afghanistan, leaving Jessica behind broken hearted. When he returns though, he is no longer the same man he was before. Now suffering from PTSD he knows that the chances of Jessica wanting anything to do with him are slim. But they quickly discover that the attraction and chemistry are still there. Will they be able to have a second chance at love, or will there be too many things standing in their way? 

I liked both Leo and Jess. I thought that they were great for one another. Each of them had issues and there was a lot that had happened to each of them. Yet they were able to help each other heal and move forward with their lives. I thought that they had a great connection and chemistry that hadn't diminished with the time apart and circumstances of their split. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot. It was sweet and full of hope and love. I thought that Tamara Lush did a great job of portraying some real life struggles in a respectful way and it felt genuine to me. If you are looking for a good second chance romance, this is one I would recommend checking out.

Feature and Giveaway: Tell Me a Fantasy by Tamara Lush

Samantha Citrouille’s anxiety won’t stop her from attending London Fashion Week and collecting a lifetime industry award. After all, when iconic designer Karl Lagerfield requests your presence at an exclusive party, you have to jump on a plane. Even if you’re deathly afraid of flying.

While white-knuckling it on the turbulent flight from Florida, Samantha's seated in business class next to a handsome stranger named Colin. His low, smooth voice helps calm her nerves. But her panic reaches its peak when the plane is forced to land in Iceland due to mechanical failure. Distraught, she's horrified to discover that all hotels are booked due to a summer solstice festival. As the world’s top designer of tropical resort clothing, Samantha _ known as Sam C. to her legions of fans _ is used to luxury at her Palm Beach estate, not sleeping on airport benches with only a pashmina wrap for a blanket.

Her impossibly sexy seat-mate Colin kindly offers to share his accommodations, because a business contact owns a sleek pied-à-terre in Reykjavik. Samantha, emotionally wrung out, agrees for what she thinks is one quick night.

A freak volcano eruption forces Samantha and Colin to stay in the Icelandic capitol for a long weekend, and the two have nothing better to do than share cocktails, bare their past sins in conversation, and indulge in each other under the midnight sun.

But things become complicated after their idyllic fantasy weekend together. Colin, a self-described modern-day rake, is sure he’s finally found the woman of his dreams. But Samantha, who has her own fears and ghosts of the past, isn’t so certain. She'd rather fly around the world, twice, than have her heart broken again.
