A building romance with a clever perk...a mystery!

Maggie was saved by Cale, trapped in a burning paint warehouse. She has no identification. She also holds no idea as to why she was there, how the fire started, or...who she is. As her physical status nears release from the hospital, Maggie is faced with an empty future and possibly a mental-based facility until she recovers her memory. Cale, the caring and sexy paramedic, offers another choice...and takes her in, in to his house filled with strays, a hallmark of his life. But Maggie is a different case, a different damsel in distress. She's more to him, instantly shocking him...especially as the attraction is mutual. Finding out who Maggie truly is, becomes quite a wonderful mystery packed in this romance. Cale and Maggie make a great pair, struggle with what they strongly feel for each other, and how they should react with Maggie's true identity standing in between. What if she's married? What if she's wanted by the law? Did she start the fire? How long will she suffer her memory loss? It is no wonder this author is a Rita Award nominee. Her style is fresh, teasing, and very much the stuff that makes sensual romance great! The other books to this trilogy are not dependent on this title, the trilogy is based on rescue workers. And this tale, hot stuff!

heated tale

Maggie LaRue suffers amnesia, not able to recall her name or why or how she ended up trapped by a fire in an abandoned paint warehouse. In fact her first memory is the arms of the hunk that rescued her. Her second thought was how she feels so safe in his arms and for that matter whenever she is near her hero paramedic Cale Perry.Cale provides Maggie a place to live while she recovers her memory. He finds having her around is not easy on his libido as he wants her and believes she feels the same way too. However, both worry what will happen when she remembers her life before Cale to include possibly a husband and a family.Though readers will question Cale's altruism in providing a refuge for Maggie, fans will enjoy this hot entry as the couple burns up the pages even when they just talk. The story line delivers a heated tale, but it is the growing relationship between the lead duo as the pair struggles with desire and love and fear when they learn the truth about Maggie. Book one of Jamie Denton's "Some Like It Hot" trilogy is a strong opening gamut.Harriet Klausner
