It's release day for Kimberly Kincaid's first full length novel, and the kickoff to her Pine Mountain series, Turn Up the Heat!
There are only so many
times a girl can hear those words before she believes that it is, in
fact, very much her. Unexpectedly jilted by her locally famous boyfriend
and haunted by a boss who makes Attila the Hun look like a lap dog,
Bellamy Blake does what any self-respecting girl in her shoes would do.
She rounds up her two best girlfriends and makes plans to get the hell
out of Dodge.
But Bellamy's escape plan takes a nose dive on the
side of rural route 164 when her transmission self-destructs, leaving
her in the middle of a cell phone dead zone with nothing but her wits.
Oh, and Shane Griffin, the hottest mechanic who's ever checked under her
hood.
Yet this small-town man isn't all he seems. Can Shane and
Bellamy prove that sometimes the most unlikely ingredients make the most
deliciously sexy mix?

Not only does she have the best heroes, but the female characters aren't any slouches either!
Whew!
This fabulous author definitely turned up the heat! I have read every
single one of her novels (so far), so I knew from the beginning that
this story would probably have more “steam” than I usually like to read,
but I also knew that I absolutely had to read it.
I need to
mention that if you don't care for steamy scenes in your novels, or a
little language, you probably want to give Turn Up The Heat a pass, but
if you are a fan of great characters and a fabulous storyline, then this
is the read for you. There is a bit of language, but it suits the
characters.
You can't have a great romance without a great hero,
but this author has not settled for a great hero alone, but matched him
move for move with an intelligent, strong, stubborn female heroine, who
makes you love her too!
I absolutely loved Shane and Bellamy's story! Make sure you check out Turn up the Heat by Kimberly Kincaid!

Jeremiah 17:8 - "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
Freshwater
Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.
Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...
Thank you for sharing the Pine Mountain love!
