Looking for a steamy romance/adventure novel to wrap up your summer reading? Then I highly recommend, White Heat by Brenda Novak, NY Times Best Selling Author.

Rachel Kessop, a beautiful, self-assured agent and Nate Ferrentino, handsome tough guy both work for the same private security contractor tracking down bad guys. The relationship is strained after Rachel, in a moment of weakness, lets herself into Nate’s apartment, and awaits his arrival in bed. After a passionate night together, Rachel claims her love to a reluctant Nate.

Now as a dangerous cult quickly takes over the desert ghost town of Paradise, Arizona, Rachel and Nate must go undercover posing as a married couple to nap the leader, Ethan Wycliff.

How will they handle the close quarters of a pretend marriage? Will Ethan’s infatuation with Rachel put her life in mortal danger? Find out in this exciting read, White Heat. I had trouble putting this book down before the exciting conclusion.

Shiva's Arms - Review

When two cultures clash, both vying for the love of one man, the consequences will be explosive.

It’s a story of boy meets girl…

Alice, a pale, head-strong hippie who loves to paint meets Ramesh, an intelligent Indian with not-so-traditional values. They fall instantly in love. The only problem is, Alice is not the “chosen” bride.

Meet Amma, mother of Ramesh, whose deep devotion to all things Hindu instantly dislikes Ramesh’s bride…

…“Shame! This is your fault only,” Amma yelled, shaking her fists. “You godless girl, you have weakened my family, my son’s caste lost because of you!...” { excerpt from Shiva’s Arms.}

Will tradition win out over love? Will Amma ever accept Alice as part of her family? Read this poignant and fascinating tale of two cultures, ‘Shiva’s Arms’ by Cheryl Snell.

I couldn’t put this book down. Snell did a wonderful job weaving the Hindu language and culture into this tale of love. In addition, the author adds the recipes to all of the delicious dishes that are found throughout this novel.

Shiva’s Arms is a must read and is available on Amazon.com or check out the blog at;
