The time has come again for me to read my bundle of Harlequin books I got in the mail. These look promising. No over the top, steamy romances with corny covers which makes me optimistic.
In Taking The Heat, a falsely convicted murderer, Randall Tucker, is trapped in the desert after escaping while being transported. He is not alone though. Gabrielle Hadley, a female guard who was in the van, chases after him. They eventually find each other and fall in love in the desert. No joke, it happens.
I am honestly wiling to look past this aspect of the story. Love does weird things to people. Having said that, I am not happy with this book. It was not balanced out. The beginning and middle felt drawn out and the end was rushed because of it. I wanted more of an investigation on Randall's innocence. There are other aspects that I don't like, but it would ruin the book and I don't like to do that. In all it was just alright. If it wasn't so lopsided and rushed at the end, it would have done a lot better on the Becca book meter.
