Review: Winter Heat

Winter Heat by Jennifer Lucia
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Winter needs more heat

Kelsey is thrust into the Witness Protection Program, posing as husband and wife with Liam in a remote cabin. He orders her around and she infuriates him, but they try to make the most of their situation. Can Kelsey and Liam keep it strictly professional or will they create winter heat?

The story started of well, but failed to maintain the thrill. There were a lot of times, I wanted to feel the tension, but there was none. The plot mainly focused on the couple in the remote cabin. They bicker, have sex and watch endless golf. The sexual tension could've been intensified and the situation with the serial killer could've been handled better.

Kelsey:

Not at all serious about the situation. Fantasize about bedding the US Marshall. Doesn't speak or act much like an attorney. Cares about wine and fireplace. Loves snow and long bubble baths.

Liam:

Maybe he should've paid more attention to Kelsey than the golf game.



Antagonist:

A serial killer escapes the prison with only motive of revenge on Kelsey. Poor thing only appears in Prologue and Last two chapters, if you exclude the repeated nightmares of Kelsey. He doesn't have any room to play and Jack Nelson is just for namesake.

The story has:

🍄Lots of snow.
🍄Winter ball.
🍄Golf game.
🍄Repeated nightmare that isn't scary.
🍄A kitten.
🍄Sexual tension that doesn't tense the readers.
🍄Female main lead, who worries about the lack of sex life.
🍄Possessive Male main lead, who is attracted to his charge and fall in love after a love making session.
🍄Antagonist who has no room to play.
