I think what made The Heat Is On so irresistible to me was the fact that Tracy had four very young children, and while Connor was taken aback when he first found out, he didn't let that hinder him in his quest to win Tracy back. And those kids were just so cute, too - even if it was definitely a lot for Tracy to take care of them, especially because her creepy ex didn't always pay allowance on time. The trip back to The Sonics was great, too, I loved how Connor took on a leadership role to help the team be the best it could be!
Of course, there were some set-backs in the relationship between Tracy and Connor, both because Tracy got some bad advice from a school advisor about her oldest son, Mason, and because her ex kept threatening to take the kids away from her if she had a relationship with Connor. Their feelings for each other were strong enough to get through a lot, though, and that made my heart swoon more than once!
Another think I loved about The Heat Is On was that both Connor and Tracy were in their thirties, I have a thing for more mature main characters, especially when they show me that they are still both playful and sexy. This whole series has been a blast to read, and I can't help but hope there will be more books about the Sonics baseball team - those guys certainly bring it, and the ladies in their lives are amazing as well.
But Connor didn't care. Even when a woman dressed in head-to-toe spandex pushed him out of the way to get her bag, he had to smile. This was, after all, Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Shove. And it was real.
As he walked into the gleaming designer kitchen and tossed his keys on the quartz countertop, he made up his mind. Not only would he do everything he could to help the Sonics go all the way this year, but he was getting back his girl.
