Up In Flames

By Rita Herron

A COLD CASE HEATING UP... Southern summers were notoriously hot. But when a series of deadly fi res blazed through the city, Detective Bradford Walsh really felt the heat. With temperatures rising, he had to catch the arsonist before the city was reduced to a pile of cinders. AND AN ATTRACTION BURNING OUT OF CONTROL On the hunt for a killer, all roads led to one woman: Rosanna Redhill. The fi res seemed to target the elusive beauty, and Bradford had to know why. But he couldn't let Rosanna's smoldering glances distract him from his investigation. Because then he'd have another fire to extinguish...one that threatened to send them both up in flames.

Customer Reviews

A very well done romantic suspense!

Up in Flames is a book with a lot to offer. It's a spicy love story, a suspenseful mystery, and an eerie paranormal all wrapped up in one well-written novel. I was instantly drawn into the storyline with its sympathetic hero and heroine and appalling villain. The heroine, Rosanna Redhill, is a complex character with a tragic past. She is vulnerable, even damaged in many ways, but she is still determined to be independent and resilient and I found her both appealing and believable. I especially liked that she was not the type to sit around waiting to be rescued; she does what she can to protect herself and even the hero when necessary. The hero, Bradford Walsh is in many ways a classic two-fisted hero but with a modern edge. He too bears scars from a difficult past and it is this vulnerability and hidden pain that made him such an attractive character. I really liked that the author showed us the hero's fallibility and his conflicted feelings about the heroine. He comes across as a three-dimensional character rather than just a muscle-bound stud.

Fun Read

First, let me say that I'm not a big romance fan. I'm more into sci-fi, fantasy, etc. But the paranormal elements in this book were really well done and fascinating. And there should be enough romance for any lover of romance stories!
