Kane is a Jotan interplanetary pirate who has been sentenced to life in prison for any number of crimes. The book starts out with Kanetus, aka Kane. A bizarre one, but ultimately with a happy ending for both parties. They are both the heroes, and over the course of this very long book, they both fall in love with their respective females. The other is the stiff and proper interplanetary cop who is chasing him. One is an escaped drug dealer and criminal who is hiding out on earth. Heat does not fall into my regular reading category.

This review will probably end up rather long, so fair warning. Someone said it was the most unique and different romance they had read in a very long time, and that was all it took for me to purchase despite the hefty cover price. Perhaps someone mentioned it on a villainous hero thread. I stumbled upon this book on Amazon, but IвЂ™m not sure how. Warning вЂ“ if you are easily triggered, this is most definitely not the book for you. But the bottom line is that I want to talk about this book with other people, so hereвЂ™s the review. I debated about reviewing it, since it is not the standard Dear Author sort of book. I mainlined this book as if I were a junkie and this was my fix. On paper, it does sound awful, but it was a truly compelling read and I could not put it down. When I finished this book, I told a friend about it and she said it sounded awful. It is also one of the most graphic, and most disturbing books I have read in a long while. Heat is probably the best independently published book I have read, and one of the best books I have read in a long while. In fact, IвЂ™d even venture so far as to offer a caption.

Smith has been a generous supporter of Buchanan County, especially the Buchanan County Public Library, where she has been a guest at several events. She edited 'Sitting on the Courthouse Bench,' a book of interviews of Grundy residents collected by high school students. In 2000, Smith contributed to the preservation of oral history of the citizens of Grundy.
