Kitty's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 3.5 stars 
 I started off really enjoying Wild Heat and, as the story progressed, I started feeling a little bit let down. The beginning of the book was strong, interesting and really caught my attention. But, as the story progressed, I felt like we were rehashing old things and felt like the storyline was being dragged out. 
 I was also a little bit thrown off at times with the way "Kitty" (aka "call me Caitlan") went from insecure to strong and then back to insecure. Now, please don't get me wrong, I understand what she went through with her ex-husband and why she moved back to Alaska and I totally understand her trust issues. But, she flipped back and forth so many times that I really started doubting her sincerity until the end when she finally redeemed herself with me. 
 As for Tack ... well, he's a totally different story with me. It is not very often that I don't fall a little bit in love with the men in books. He flipped back and forth more than Kitty did. He held a grudge and then used sex for what he wanted. Now, in a twisted way, he really thought that he was helping Kitty but all he was really doing was feeding into her insecurities. He finally became the romantic man that I wished for throughout the book but, I felt, it was a little too late. 
 So, I really hoped that the story would have elaborated more on the families, the friendships and the town of Cailkirn itself. Kitty's Grandmother and Aunts were fun and interesting. Tack's family was a mix of Scot and Inuit and his mother seemed like someone I would have enjoyed. Kitty also made friends with a mail-order bride on her way back home. She was in and out of the story but I would have loved a little more of her, her back-story and watching the friendship grow, befriending each other, share fears and dreams. But, that didn't happen either. 
 So, unfortunately, I ended up loving the idea of the story but was disappointed in how it went, how it was portrayed. It seemed fragmented .... The hot tub scene was hot but the other sex scenes felt out of place, unnatural. I give kudos to Lucy Monroe for attempting to write about very complicated and horrific acts ... spousal abuse, anorexia, bulimia. She told the story of a woman dealing with all of this and fighting her way back into the life that she had before it all. But, to my dismay, instead of focusing on the recovery, the right support of family and friends, she went the other direction and gave us more of a story about sex than what truly could have been a beautiful love story that would have had us crying and truly loving Tack for his honesty, love and support of his soul-mate.
