Taking the Heat

By Victoria Dahl
Taking the Heat by Victoria Dahl digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Passion this hot can't be faked… 

All revved up for bright lights and steamy nights, writer Veronica Chandler chased her dreams to New York City. When she hit a dead end, reality sent her back home to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Saving her pride and her new gig—writing a relationship advice column!—requires some faking. No one can know the truth about her big-city flop or her nonexistent sex life. But the town's irresistibly rugged librarian is determined to figure her out…and give her hands-on lessons in every wicked thing she wants to know.  

Gabe MacKenzie's heart might be in Wyoming, but secretly his future's tied up in his family's Manhattan legacy. Getting down and dirty with Veronica is supposed to give him a few memorable nights—not complicate his plans. But the thing about heat this scorching is there's just no going back…and it might be too hot for either of them to take.

Taking the Heat Reviews

3.5
Red Angry Face“I deeply disliked this, and I ended up quitting after 25%. The entire time, it’s just anti urban sentiment, despite not acknowledging that she had a bad time in the city because she chose shitty people to surround herself with. How dirty a city is? Fine. New York is by no means that roach laden, though. Also, you couldn’t find a suitable partner because you’re an overly empathetic person who only chose to date finance bros who notoriously have zero empathy? I read the author bio and she’s apparently from Utah, which explains so much, and does definitely retract any fun that I had reading any of the previous installments.”
