Amelia Richard at Ecataromance gave it four stars and said...

"With a firefighter theme for her Heatsheet, the talented Kate Burns takes readers into the world of those men and women who protect others and many natural creations. Her hero and heroine are both firejumpers, who find themselves battling dangerous situations plus the potent attraction between them. Ms. Burns has created appealing characters with Delia and Cooper, where readers slowly become privy to their innermost thoughts. Seeing how these two handle their yearnings was powerfully depicted, making their moments together almost as hot as the fires often surrounding them. This couple also proves how dedicated they are to their careers, as they never put themselves before their work as they know how every second counts when it comes to controlling a fire. The setting for this story is graphically visual, as I often felt as though I was right beside Delia and Cooper during every situation they faced, whether everyday chores or a threatening blaze. INTO THE HEAT is an engaging story where flames often erupt without warning."

Carly at Fallen Angel Review gave it five angels and said...

"This compact story delivers so much in such a short space it’s compelling to the highest degree. I learned a huge amount about smoke jumpers and the job they do. I have always respected this profession but now I am completely blown away by the whole idea of battling forest fires. This story highlights the work fire jumpers do but also shows that beneath the heavy gear, ordinary folks do this job. People who love and laugh and have hot, sexy lives! I particularly enjoyed the depth of emotion felt in these two characters. I could feel their relationship develop and I wanted them to succeed. When they were pulled into the fire, I wanted them to live. Kate Burns delivers an action-packed, sexy story that is sure to titillate, enlighten and entertain. I loved Into the Heat, it was my idea of sizzling on many, many levels!"

Summer Reading

Uh, what's in your beach bag? If you're like me, you've got the usual crap. Sunscreen, lip gloss, hair brush, (sense a trend here?), water bottle, PB&J sandwich, and a book. That's right, a book. At least one, maybe two. Since I've started reading ebooks, I carry my PDA even to the beach. I can get over a hundred ebooks on that baby, and just read away...



Reading a lot of new authors. Reading a lot of great stuff.



So, what's in your beach bag? And what are you reading?

Feeling lucky?

I just saw on the news that thousands of people are getting married today. 7-7-07, a lucky day? Typically on a July weekend 30,000 people marry. This weekend? Closer to 90,000 is the predicted number.

What do you think? Does luck come in numbers? Or is it something you make yourself?

Me, I'm feeling lucky...no matter what the date is.

Into the Heat

I just love this cover!! So hot and sexy!

Into the Heat is available from PHAZE.

Being a firejumper is hot enough, but when Delia finds herself assigned to a remote cabin for two weeks with fellow firejumper Cooper Tallman, things begin to really heat up. She and Coop take care of all their assignments at the post while doing their best to ignore the growing attraction between them. They manage to keep their internal fires at bay until one afternoon when circumstances throw them into such close contact they can't ignore their smoldering bodies.

When duty calls they, of course, answer. But the forest around the couple is not the only thing ablaze and they begin to realize they cannot ignore their feelings for much longer--or can they?

After all, in a wildfire anything can happen. There are no guarantees, and not every flame can be extinguished.

You can buy it here.
