The Hidden Legacy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews continues as Nevada and Rogan navigate a world where magic is the norm...and their relationship burns hot Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill-she knows when people are lying-and she's used that magic (along with plain, hard work) to keep her colorful and close-knit family's detective agency afloat. But her new case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed the city of Houston once before, bringing Nevada back into contact with Connor "Mad" Rogan. Rogan is a billionaire Prime-the highest rank of magic user-and as unreadable as ever, despite Nevada's "talent." But there's no hiding the sparks between them. Now that the stakes are even higher, both professionally and personally, and their foes are unimaginably powerful, Rogan and Nevada will find that nothing burns like ice ...An Avon Romance
Another five cups of coffee from me. The Andrews grabbed me from the very first page. WHITE HOT has all the elements I love in a story. A kick-ass heroine, intense action scenes, an intriguing plot filled with danger, secrets, and magic. Then the Andrews added stellar characters, even secondary characters like Bug that are memorable. They sprinkle it with humor, love, and family and finish it off with a swoony romance and hero who is not only a total badass but a good guy to boot.
We learn a great deal about "Mad" Rogan as the Andrews peeled back his layers allowing us to come face to face with Conner. He is soon involved in Nevada's case as a powerful villain returns once again threatening to destroy Houston. Rogan is at the top of the hierocracy when it comes to Primes and wow do we get to see him in action. He is edgy, and a tad scary especially when those he is protecting are endangered.
I loved the growth in Nevada's skills and it's clear we are just scratching the surface of her ability. We get plenty of draw dropping action scenes that will have you holding your breath.
In WHITE HOT, Nevada is discovering who she is, and her relationship with Conner is evolving. Sure they take two steps forward and two steps back as Nevada figures out who she is, but the chemistry is there and each scene delights. I absolutely loved the ebb and flow of this story. Just when I thought I would burst or die from the build up the authors would change things up, or throw in some unexpected humor and I would breathe again.
