Summary: It's not just steak that sizzles!
Review: Romantica is a new genre that has emerged, a cross between Romance and Erotica, romantic tales where the story doesn't end with a closed bedroom door. Not for everyone then, but for those who like their romance a bit spicer, you can't go far wrong with this tale from the queen of the genre, Kristie Liegh Maguire.Steve and Marcie have been happily married for years and feel that nothing can come between them. Until that is, Marcie falls for Jim, her new boss. How can she fall for another man when she is so happy with Steve? Can she really love two men at once? The plot is pacy and the descriptions of the places are so well done that you can imagine you are there, whether it's in a deserted desert canyon or the bright lights of Las Vegas. The sexual tension simmers between Marcie and Jim throughout, and it is surprising how they finally get together. The passages are erotic and literary, with emotions clearly evident. If you want something a bit different and spicy than your average romance book, give Desert Heat a try. Reviewed by Annette Gisby, author of Drowning Rapunzel and Silent Screams.

Summary: Worst I've ever seen!
Review: This is the last time I buy a book based on reader reviews. I don't know who these authors are that reviewed this book and each gave it five stars, but if their review of this poor excuse for a book is any indication as to their own writing ability...stay clear! This book is so poorly written that I can't believe it is even on the market. Who is this self-titled Queen of Romance? There was nothing romantic about this book whatsoever. It was a flagrant display of one dirty word after another and reminded me of something a junior high school girl with raging hormones might write. Yes, it is that bad! Some people should not call themsevles authors and this is a fine example. The only reason I gave this book 1 star is because negative numbers were not an option. I normally don't give reviews of books that I've read, good or otherwise. But this truly is the worst book I have ever read. If Kristie Leigh Maguire is serious about being an author, then she really needs to take some writing classes, lots of them. She obviously has the marketing under control in that her reviews were all by other authors and regardless of how misleading they are, they suckered me into a purchase! BIG...BIG MISTAKE!
