"Tropical Heat" by Cherry Adair
Dr. Elizabeth Goodall has been kidnapped by a ruthless killer. When he finds out he has captured the wrong Doctor, there is going to be hell to pay, but not if Sam Pelton can get to her first. At home in Montana, Beth is the town's Doctor and Sam is a teacher. The Sam that shows up in the jungle, toting a machine gun and obviously comfortable in his surroundings, leaves Beth baffled. She's harbored a not so secret crush on Sam. Because he never responded to her Beth assumed he wasn't interested, a few stolen kisses in the jungle have her wondering about his interest now though. Sam intends to save Beth then make her his. He's waited a long time for Beth and he's not going to let a madman take her away from him.
"Tropical Heat" combines three things perfectly: a sensual romance, a gripping storyline, and thrilling action. I loved the relationship between Sam and Beth. They were friends who became lovers. Their relationship evolves in a beautiful but deadly jungle surrounding. The evil villain gets it great in the end in "Tropical Heat" I love how that scene plays out. "Tropical Heat" is a story filled with danger, hot sex and true love.
"Atlanta Heat" by Lora Leigh
Emerson Delaney is the goddaughter of Admiral Samuel Holloran. Mason "Macey" March is a Navy SEAL under Admiral Holloran's command; therefore, as much as Macey wants her, Em is off limits to him. When she's kidnapped though, he goes straight for her and now, he's not letting go. There not out of the woods yet though, someone they trust has been a bad guy all along and now he's got his sights set on killing Em.
Macey is a man on a mission in "Atlanta Heat" Besides keeping Em safe, he has every intention of making her his. He's a really tough guy who melts at Em's feet. It's adorable and romantic. Em is like the girl next door but with attitude. "Atlanta Heat" is full of great action and hot sex but when the story shifts briefly to Macey's pet's perspective I thought it was a little odd.
"Desert Heat" by Cindy Gerard
Assistant District Attorney Elena Martinez and Detective Seth King are in the Grand Canyon on a charity hike. They don't get along, or rather, didn't get along, until their time together in the desert brings them closer than they've ever been. Just as things between them are heating up though, one of their cases comes back to haunt them. They were being hunted, but in order to get out alive they'll have to become the hunters.
"Desert Heat" is full of good stuff. A good story, a sexy hero and a tough heroine make each page exciting. Seth and Elena have great chemistry. Even when they are at odds you can feel a connection between them. Whether they're running for their lives, fighting bad guys, or on a desk, they are perfect together. "Desert Heat" is an excellent action-filled romance.
Rescue Me has three exciting stories with sexy men, sassy women, and enough thrills, action and hot sex to satisfy any romantic suspense lover. Cherry Adair, Lora Leigh, and Cindy Gerard join forces to pen an anthology that really turns up the heat!

Book Review: Thrilling romantic suspense anthology
Summary: 5 Stars
Three talented authors come together to deliver a trio of action-packed romantic adventures that will leave you dreaming of your own hero! Indeed, I would be more than happy to have any of the heroes in this anthology RESCUE ME!
Individually, each story in RESCUE ME earns a top rating of five. Together, they will more than knock your socks off!
~TROPICAL HEAT by Cherry Adair~
When the woman he loves is kidnapped by a ruthless terrorist, Sam Pelton will do whatever it takes to save Elizabeth. Braving the jungles of Africa and a cadre of villains that would make most men quake in their boots, Sam puts all of his skills as a special ops agent to use in order to rescue her.
Why, oh why have I not read Cherry Adair's work sooner? TROPICAL HEAT was my first taste of this author's talent and left me wanting more!
When we meet Sam and Elizabeth, they are thick in the middle of danger, after dancing around each other romantically for the last year. Well, to be perfectly honest, Elizabeth didn't think she was even on Sam's radar, although he was all she thought about since her divorce.
As it turns out, Sam was just biding his time, but he certainly had plans for the beautiful doctor. Plans that are moved up when he very nearly loses her in a way all too permanent. Sam pulls out all the stops, and shows himself to both Elizabeth and readers as the hero he truly is, leaving us to fall desperately in love with this man, just as Elizabeth does.
~ATLANTA HEAT by Lora Leigh~
Macey March is the most irreverent, troublesome member of his team of Navy SEALs. His antics have earned him a few demotions in rank along the way, and the ire of the Admiral himself. Emerson Delaney, the Admiral's delicious little goddaughter has played no small part in those troubles. It seems Macey just can't stay away from the imp, no matter how bad a career move it is to put the moves on her.
When Emerson is kidnapped by terrorists intent on wreaking revenge on the Admiral through his beloved goddaughter, Macey will stop at nothing to rescue her from danger. That's the easy part. The hard part comes afterwards - keeping her safe until they ferret out the mole whose very existence continues to threaten the woman that Mace comes to realize he can't live without.
As a major fan of Lora Leigh's, I chose to read RESCUE ME strictly because of her story in it, and once again, she didn't disappoint. ATLANTA HEAT is part of her popular TEMPTING SEALS series, and tells the story of that bad boy we've come to know and love in the previous books - Mason March.
Macey may come across as a bad boy, but in this novella we find that deep down, he is a family man at heart, and he only has eyes for Emerson Delaney, no matter how much trouble he has landed himself in through his previous interactions with her. That should tell him something right there, right? Macey isn't into denial, and he knows that Emerson is the woman for him. Of course, he has also gathered quite a bit of intel on the object of his considerable affections, and knows it will take a lot to win her trust and her heart.
Holing up with her in his safe-house provides the perfect opportunity for an all-out romantic assault, Macey-style. Emerson never stands a chance!
This heroine isn't at all shy and submissive, though, and she gives to Macey as good as she gets. He calls her an imp, and it is a description she has earned. She can't resist playing the smart-aleck, especially when under extreme duress. That wise-cracking attitude, however, covers a vulnerable core that believes she will always be alone. It's a good thing Macey knows just how to break through that core...
After waiting a long time for Macey's story, he surpassed my ideals. ATLANTA HEAT is a sensual treat that will raise your temperature and keep you coming back for more!

~DESERT HEAT by Cindy Gerard~
Seth King and Elena Martinez should be on the same side. After all he is a police detective and she is an assistant D.A. True, their goals may be aligned, but they have very different ideas of how to best serve justice.
When this unlikely pair is teamed together on a scavenger hunt for charity, they are isolated together in the wilderness of the Grand Canyon - or so they think. Someone is watching them, and that someone will seize their chance for vengeance very soon. But before that happens, they find that sometimes oil and water really do mix well as they discover a deep-seated attraction for each other...
Cindy Gerard is another new author for me, and I enjoyed her story as much as I did the first two in the RESCUE ME anthology.
Unexpected romance in the great outdoors is the theme for DESERT HEAT, and I have to say that a hero like Seth King makes me wish I were more outdoorsy myself! I'd love to share a sleeping bag built for two with this sexy alpha male. Heck, I'd like to share a sleeping bag built for one with him! *grin* Seth's determination to see to Elena's safety when violence threatens is the stuff heroes are made of, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for her will melt even the hardest of hearts.
Of course, it certainly has that effect on Elena herself, who had already begun to respond to Seth's magnetism before the enemy struck, but once she sees who this man is deep down, she is hopelessly smitten. This intrepid heroine pulls her own weight in their rescue, however, and it is no stretch of the imagination to understand why a man like Seth would fall for her.

Book Review: Two out of three
Summary: 2 Stars
I won't go into the plots as it's been done. Tropical Heat and Desert Heat were 5's. But Atlanta Heat was a 3.
There wasn't much of a plot to it, just Macey and Em lusting after each other, explicit sex and misunderstandings; Macey telling Em he loves her, repeatedly, she doesn't believe him. I've read Lora Leigh before and she's very good, just not this one.

The only thing this book lacked was more of it. I liked all three stories, and was very pleased with dealing with amazon.com. Thanks very much.
