I've been reading this series a long time, and I'm no longer as in love with them as before. I think it might be the writer's style. I'm not a fan of the choppy sentences. Sometimes, her descriptions toe the line of purple prose. And there are problems with flow and organization - which are more editorial than writing style; just putting a certain sentence at the beginning of a paragraph instead of the end would make a huge difference in many cases here. But, this book almost got a 2, simply because of the last 10 pages or so. What a waste of plot to throw in the virus outbreak and do nothing with it really. And for General Daniels to be described as such a controlling and commanding character, when he appears on page, he says less than 10 words. And don't get me started on the out-of-left-field pregnancy. I am neither a fan of how it was just dropped in there like an afterthought, nor that these 2 medical professionals overlooked a back-up form of birth control. But, the surprise pregnancy seems to be part of Mrs. Jackson's formula. Very good book. I liked the way that Micah admitted that he let his anger keep him from going after Kalina two years before. And that he was determined to prove to her he had been telling her the truth. Kalina had held on to her anger and hurt until they ended up working together again. As Micah did his best to show her who he really was and that she could trust him, she realized that she hadn't stopped caring for him. I enjoyed seeing their trip to Denver, and watching her get to know the other Westmorelands. I also loved seeing how the other wives talked to her about what it was like being with a Westmoreland man.
What do You think about Feeling The Heat (2012)?
I read this book on my Kindle, but there is no Kindle version list for it on GoodReads.

I enjoyed the book, Kalina got on my nerves at first, but it was all good.
