Book Synopsis:
Kasey is a woman that exudes energy and brightness; she is
as equally passionate when angry as she is when she’s happy. The energy she
carries from life comes through in all her magical workings with spells and
stones, giving them great magical strength. She is a dreamer and often wishes
she could re-write her own story so that she was charming and sophisticated
enough to be with a certain wealthy male lawyer she wants more than anything
else.
Chris is a force of strength and experience that is
carefully hidden behind the easy mannerism he has adapted so carefully.
There is nothing he cannot do where magic is concerned and he has tried all
manner of things, whether right or wrong. His fortune has left him
wanting for nothing else in life, except the one thing money can’t buy him, the
woman he feels too unclean to approach.
Separated by two different life styles yet their passion and
magic ignite sparks hotter than the Solstice heat.
Can they work out a way to be together as they try to stop a
killer from striking again?

Book Review:
I have come to love
all books by Jacqueline Paige. She is definitely
a new favorite author. Her books are
charming, intriguing, spicy (in all the right ways), and good reads. When I started reading “The Solstice Heat” I
hadn’t really paid attention to the fact that it was the second book in a
series. I’m due to review the first book
on April 21, 2012, but probably should have reversed the order. (It should be noted that these books were
received from the publisher for review at no cost to the author… however, I
would pay to read books by Jacqueline and I don’t say that about many writers…
love free kindle books, but I digress).
This book stands
alone, but will probably be even better if read within the series. I was immediately drawn into the story. How can you not want to read more when the
first paragraph is:
Kasey checked her bag for the
fourth time. What time were they supposed to be picking her up? She was tired
from staying up all night working a spell. Nervous and scared about going to
Solstice, where a killer was going to be, she glanced at the clock again and
tried to exhale slowly.
I was hooked. The
book really drew me into the lives of these 8 friends who love and take care of
each other. The writing used such skill
that it was easy to picture myself there in the story living beside these
friends. I continue to be impressed with
Ms. Paige’s skill and weaving the characters and story together to paint such a
wonderful picture. Come back next Saturday to hear about book 1 in this series.
I definitely give this story 5 out of 5 clouds.
