Another Hit

As in all Ms. Sims stories, passion is laid out for all to see....and feel. The instant attraction and friendship between Katherine and Rafe, made this book hard to put down, and sad when it ends. I wanted more when I got to the end and satisfied my thirst for more, by reading it again. Great job!!!!!! Can't wait for the next novel.

Janice Sims Does It Again!

The first chapter of Desert Heat had me skeptical--would Janice Sims be able to blend romance and science in such a way that I would stay interested until the last page? I am happy to say that Ms. Sims did not let me down. The plot of "Desert Heat" flows like water, and if there is a man alive who can be compared to Rafael Grant, I want to meet him in person!! All of the characters in this book are interesting and memorable, and I was unable to put this book down once I started it. I am anxiously awaiting her next book, which should be a sequel to "For Your Love". But Desert Heat proved to be a wonderful distraction until her next book is printed.

Desert Heat is sizzling!!!

This is a wonderfully written romance novel by Janice Sims, with a cast of well-written characters! I got so much into the book, the story, and the characters, that I honestly wanted to read more and more, and could not put the book down very easily!It is the story of Dr. Katharine Matthews, a physicist, and Rafe, who keep things hot in the Arizona Heat!. After Katharine's parents' house is robbed and her father's work is stolen, Katherine agrees to work with Rafe to get to the bottom of it. Of course, it is very obvious that there is a strong attraction between them and I just loved the chemistry depicted between the two characters. I also enjoyed the wonderful casting of secondary characters, such as Katharine's grandmother Josephina! I highly recommend this book - an unforgettable adventure of love, hope, and science! Beautifully depicted story by a terrific writer!

ISBN 1-58314-420-XDESERT HEAT by Janice SimsBET/Arabesque Contemporary Romance 9/03Dr. Katharine Matthews, who followed in her father's footsteps and became a physicist, writes books instead of working in a lab, returns home after attending a conference. Anxious to get home and check on her father, Katharine overhears a conversation making her think there's a terrorist right next to her. Her only thought is to stop him before someone is harmed. A bloody nose stopped him alright, but U. S. Marshal Rafael Grant is no terrorist and this intriguing woman has a lot of explaining to do. Rafe and Katharine have an instantaneous attraction that's moving faster than either one of them could ever imagine. When Katharine's parents' house is broken into and all of her father's work is stolen, Katherine agrees to work with him in trying to complete his formula before it's copied. Her biggest worry was how her work makes her oblivious to everything around her, but her love for Rafe is strong enough to remind her of what's important. However, Rafe hasn't learned that yet. DESERT HEAT definitely heats up the pages as the passions simmer between these two. This is an alluring tale with a fascinating glimpse into the scientific community. The host of secondary characters makes for a wonderful read. DK
