Fiona Fine

This novel is very cute. If you've read the first novel (Karma Girl) this sheds insight and explains Fiona Fine's character. You don't have to have read the first novel to enjoy this great book!

the book girl reviews Hot Mama

I love the world the Jennifer Estep has created. Fiera was my least favorite character in Karma Girl and I didn't think that I would enjoy her story. In fact, I started it, put it down, and didn't pick it back up for a week. I am really glad that I did. Fiona/Fiera isn't as hard and cold as she seems. After the death of her fiance, she has just cut herself off from feeling. When she meets Johnny Bulluci, Fiona, doesn't really seem to know what to do. I was very happy to find out that there was a lot more to Fiona, than a [...]-kicking superhero. She is a woman with insecurities, faults, and feelings. I can't wait for the next installment in the Bigtime series, Jinx (Bigtime).

A Superhero tale that packs a 2 for 1 punch - hot romance and signature humor

The wedding was absolutely perfect in every way. And why not, she'd planned it herself down to the last detail. The only flaw was that it wasn't hers. It would have been had her fiancé Travis Teague a.k.a. Tornado of Big Time's elite superhero squad, the Fearless Five, not been murdered by their arch nemesises the Terrible Triad. A year later, she still missed him terribly. She is Fiona Fine, one of Big Time's finest high fashion designers. Well, that's her day job, at night she's the Fearless Five's Fiera. Her powers include super strength and the ability to control and throw fire. Being a superhero himself Travis had understood her and accepted her exactly as she was. With him she hadn't had to keep her double life a secret and he hadn't been remotely embarrassed by her super appetite that was necessary to sustain her powers. Still she knew that Travis had loved her so much that he wouldn't have wanted her to morn him forever. Her big appetite isn't restricted to just food after all. She wasn't ready to find love again but she wasn't averse to finding a nice anonymous rebound guy to help take the edge off for the night. What better place to find one at a wedding? Oh btw the wedding is Carmen Cole's. Carmen is the newest member of the F5 also known as Karma Girl. She is marrying F5 superhero Striker, whose alter-ego is billionaire Sam Sloane. While the pair is on their honeymoon, the three remaining heroes will be doing double duty. It looks like its Fiona's lucky day. She's captured the eye of the model-gorgeous new guy in town Johnny Bulluci, older brother of Fiona's biggest rival, designer Bella Bulluci. The wealthy playboy doesn't waste any time putting the moves on her either. Unfortunately before Fiona has decided whether she wants to take him home or not they're interrupted by his sister and then the event is crashed by the newest ubervillain duo, Siren and Intelligal, who have come to cash in on all the jewels and other goodies worn by Carmen and Sam's wealthy guests. Fiona takes advantage of the chaos to change into her Fiera duds but she isn't the only one inclined to tangle with the nasties. Johnny Bulluci enters the mix but his interference blows Fiera's opportunity to apprehend the pair. She's more than a little miffed about it and tells him so. Of course not knowing she's Fiona he pretty much tells her, "you're not the boss of me." Fiona doesn't know it yet but Bulluci is also the new Johnny Angel in town, an occupation he inherited when his father was murdered by Siren and Intelligal. Of course he's not exactly willing to share his secret identity with Fiona or vice versa for that matter and although she's aware that Bulluci had also lost someone near and dear, she doesn't make the connection between the handsome hunk and the motorcycle riding, superhero vigilante. Bulluci is charm himself on their first date sending Fiona a zillion flowers, wining and dining her at Quicke's and rounding the night off with a romantic Ferris

Fun series!

A new set of ubervillains are about to wreak havoc on Bigtime and it's up to superhero Fiera, aka Fiona Fine, to save the day! Ubervillains Intelligal and Siren are up to no good. Fiera and part of the Fearless Five (minus Karma Girl and Striker who are on their honeymoon!) are tracking them but Johnny Angel keeps getting in the way. Johnny Angel seems determined to destroy Intelligal and Siren but is he truly on the side of the superheroes? Meanwhile, Fiona's personal life is in total disarray as she finds herself wildly attracted to Bigtime newcomer Johnny Bulluci. Is Fiona ready to move on or will her superhero secret identity keep getting in the way? Jennifer Estep returns with her second book in the campy but purely fun world of Bigtime. HOT MAMA is by no means a serious book about good versus evil or superheroes versus ubervillains. No, the Bigtime series is entertainment at its finest. Each story is full of those tongue in cheek moments from the comic book superheroes that make us laugh even as the obvious "secret" identities are right before our very eyes. HOT MAMA offers readers a splendid romance in the midst of all the superhero humor. Fiona's pain over the loss of her beloved fiancé, Tornado, is a wound that hadn't healed in the first book, KARMA GIRL. Her willingness to reach out for love once again is heartwarming, even as events with the ubervillains spiral out of control. Jennifer Estep has found her niche with the Bigtime series. I can't wait to see where this series goes, as the possibilities are endless. Besides, who can't help but love a book where the author lovingly pokes fun at a genre with characters such as Halitosis Hal? Kudos to Jennifer Estep for incorporating the joy of the comic book superheroes with romance to produce such wonderful books. HOT MAMA is a hit! COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES

fun satirical superhero romantic fantasy

In Bigtime, New York, fashion designer Fiona Fine lives a precarious double life as superhero Fiera fighting crime especially the Fearless Five. She would not give up either her day job or her alterego work although unable to grieve in public her recent loss makes being a superhero not quite as glamorous as it may seem. Fiera struggles to hide her despondency over the death of her fiancé superhero Travis. After a period mourning, Fiona knows she must move on so plans to begin dating again. As she works up the courage, she is attracted to newcomer wealthy playboy Johnny Bulluci. Meanwhile superhero work never stops as two new nasty supervillains have caused Bigtime trouble and the latest reincarnation of Johnny Angel seeks vengeance from those who murdered his previous body. With all the men in her life, Fiona does not have to look hard to find a date though some of them play dangerously. The latest satirical superhero romantic fantasy is a fun tale starring Fiona-Fiera, a young woman with a temper that burns. The story line is told by her so that readers see her vulnerability, confusion, and courage as a caring person with responsibilities. HOT MAMA is an enjoyable lighthearted thriller. Harriet Klausner
