What can I say about this wonderful novel? Ms. Berry and I exchanged books with each other while actually doing a book signing tour in New Orleans together. On the plane, returning home, I couldn't put this book down, even when I started getting sleepy! Ms. Berry writes a novel of intrigue and suspense that had my mind and heart racing through the very streets of New Orleans we had just left with this fictitious character, Detective Symone Rawlins. I agonized with her over the death of her beloved brother and felt vengence in my heart for catching the person who killed him. Ms. Berry makes you fall in love with handsome Josiah La'Mon, an FBI agent, who at first seems like he might not be a good guy. I loved the roller coaster ride of mystery Ms. Berry puts the reader on and was sufficiently surprised when she revealed the killer and the connection between the two. This is more a thriller than a romance and I loved the ride. What's next Ms. Berry?

This is my first book by Charlene Berry and it was excellant. This was a true page turner, I finished the book in one day. The attraction between Symone and Josiah was strong from their first meeting. I love the suspense and the drama. You find your self anticipating what will happen next and guessing who you think the killer will be. But you are in shock at the twist of who the killer is and how they are related to Symone.Good read, you will not be dissapointed.

Charlene Berry's 'Cajun Heat' is a page-turner that keeps romance on a constant simmer switching occasionally to high heat. Parallel plots of revenge reveal layers of psychological depth, locale descriptions are tangibly real, and the dialogue flows convincingly. Our cop heroine's resourcefulness is stuff from which role models are made. Berry's underlying insistence on her character's goodness is also refreshing.
