Armentrout delivers a refreshing paranormal tale with a twist. After getting a glimpse of this world in Bitter Sweet Love, I was excited to dive into White Hot Kiss and really see what these creatures were all about. Here, you get a more in-depth look at the dynamics of the Wardens, the threat of demons, and how the human world plays into all of this. I think Jennifer did a great job at introducing readers to this unique and fascinating world of sexy, yet dangerous gargoyles. 
 Layla definitely has the potential to be one of my favorite female characters from JLA. She starts off very naive and innocent, basically sheltered from the truths and terrors of the real world, and I enjoyed seeing her slowly discover all that has been hidden from her. Despite being basically shunned by the Warden community, she holds her own with these creatures and does her best to prove her worth. She definitely has a lot of inner strength and also, a lot of room for growth. I'm expecting great things from this character. 
 Now, about the boys. 
 Roth is in a league all his own. That boy is just plain "bad boy perfection with a heart" on a stick! Jennifer never fails to create those irresistible boy you can't help but fall for, and boy did I fall for Roth. Not only does he have the looks, he mouth is delectable and he certainly has a way with words. Once again, Jennifer creates engaging dialogue between two captivating characters that just keeps you glued to the pages. I really loved the chemistry and banter between Layla and Roth. He definitely stole my heart with that ending, that's for sure! 
 Let's not forget about Zayne. While he doesn't get as much "screen time" as Roth, he's got a bit of "something goin' on" that intrigued me. There's obviously feelings brewing between Layla and Zayne, plus a meaningful relationship that they've shared since they were young, that I'm just itching to explore. Zayne doesn't make the best decisions when it comes to Layla, but their situation is pretty complicated and it's not hard to tell how much he cares for her. I'm hoping for some intense scenes with him in the next book. 
 With a scorching-hot, yet seemingly complicated romance and one heck of an alluring plot line, White Hot Kiss grabs you and doesn't let you go. Even worse, it leaves you begging for me! JLA definitely has a hit on her hands and fans of hers will devour this gem. New to JLA? Pick this one up and prepare to be amazed!
