Sofia and Kyle are both running from their feelings in the wake of some upsetting life events and end up meeting in Finland. Sofia is on a work exchange program that has her cleaning the facilities in an athletic complex. Kyle is there too, helping a friend with some coaching. 
 When Sofia meets Kyle, there's a spark between them that grows, although neither thinks they are ready for a relationship. Sofia has had her heart broken by a cheating boyfriend, and Kyle's lost his wife in an accident. They were right about taking it slow, but the attraction between them is not something they can get under control easily. 
 When Sofia's grandmother tries to set her up with another guy, she turns to Kyle to be a "pretend" boyfriend. Unfortunately, Grandmother doesn't give up and situations arise that disrupt Sofia's and Kyle's budding relationship. 
 I really liked the setting of this book. It helped to make it interesting and exotic. Kyle and Sofia are good together and I liked their story. I did have a problem with the first person present tense writing in this Heat It Up, because I thought it slowed down the pace and scenes that could have been tension-filled and exciting fell flat for me. 
 Overall, this is a story you've probably read before, but Kyle and Sofia are interesting enough to make you want to know how they will handle their relationship. Great cover too!
