If you're considering this series, it is strongly recommended that you get all of the books at the same time. The fast and furious tale of Joanne Baldwin does not slow down between volumes.
In Book One, Joanne got caught between fierce environmental conditions and the crushing force of dear friends opposing each other. Joanne, caught in the middle, ended up dead. Well, sort of. Having a Djinn on your side is definitely an asset. Joanne isn't dead, but neither is she full Djinn as her lover intended. David cheated. He should have died in her place to keep her alive, but instead he gave her half of his own Djinn powers. Now he is very ill and they are both paying a heavy price to spend more time together. More than that. The world itself no longer works right.
HEAT STROKE is funny: watch Joanne try to magically assemble herself out of the Djinn bottle and accidentally forget her clothes. HEAT STROKE is frightening: Joanne has a face-off with the most powerful Djinn in the world, and he's pissed! HEAT STROKE is passionate: Joanne and her Djinn lover David have a vibrant relationship. Joanne is a hot woman. She is also mighty persistent when life turns mean. She learns what it is like to be Djinn slave to a horrible master. She fights not only for her own life and freedom, but the lives and freedom of others as well. Again, Lewis and David are in deadly danger, and again, Joanne is their only hope. And of course, the weather is not cooperating.
Boiling magic, sizzling relationships, and action that explodes off the page. HEAT STROKE delivers a guaranteed good read.
