A Review By: SY
After her central air malfunctions, romance novelist Stacia Baker finds herself in the middle of a deadline and a series of problems she needs fixed ASAP.
As the owner of his own maintenance company, Drew Fields has all the tools to fix everything that’s wrong in Stacia’s life in more ways than one.
But after an embarrassing encounter between them and her less than desirable attitude, will he leave her stranded in the middle of a scorching heat wave that sets South Florida ablaze instead? Or will she get her act together so they can create one of their own?

Audio Book Publication Year: 2022
An installment in a Series? No
Narrator (s): Wesleigh Siobhan, Winston James
Heatwaves is a most appropriate title for this sexy tale.
This was my first audio listen by Kema B., and she is such a gifted writer. There were a number of laugh-out-loud moments with the hilarious and realistic thoughts of Stacia and Drew - who will later have you clutching your pearls. Whew.
This is a novella, clocking in at 1 hour and 46 minutes, but Kema B. is able to develop the characters' backstories in a clear and succinct manner, prompting the reader to become interested in what happens to them. The tension built between them is palpable and Kema shows out when the fireworks begin. Once I started listening, I couldn't stop. Wesleigh Siobhan and Winston James (who used his native tongue to voice Drew) brought the humor and heat, making this a particularly fun ride.
