I was in junior high when my mother gave me my first batch of Loveswept novels. Hot Touch was among them. After devouring Swashbuckling Lady, I got to Hot Touch. This is one of the first romance novels I read that combined paranormal elements into it's storyline. From that moment on I was hooked.I love the southern setting and the big hearted Cajun Paul Belue, but what really made me love the novel was the heroine, Caroline Fitzsimmons. At first her stand-offish behavior made me a little skeptical of her likability, but as you get into the book we learn that she has her reasons for loathing the southern local that she is forced to work in.Caroline is an animal trainer with not one but two secrets. One she can talk to animals and two...well I'll let the second remain a secret.This is a great romance and I can't wait until my copy arrives in the mail. I had to buy it again because my copy has been read so many times over the years that it no longer has a cover and is falling apart.
