"It's a steamy summer night in Georgetown, and Caroline Cooper is feeling the heat, in more ways than one. Her job, her family, her love life: everything's reached a boiling point and Caroline needs to cool off. But when she opens her apartment window for air, she finds herself staring at one very hot neighbor on the fire escape across the courtyard. He's tall, dark, handsome, and as scantily clad as she is. With fifty feet of night separating them, it's fun to fantasize. But when she finally meets Brendon up-close...that's when things really heat up"--P. [4] of cover.

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
I choose to read Warm Hearts by Barbara Delinsky because I’ve loved her work for years. Warm Hearts contains two re-releases of older works.
I had originally read the first story HEAT WAVE several years ago. I enjoyed reading Caroline & Brendon’s story again. Granted there are a few things that are missing for this day and age. The one major thing I think you notice is the absence of cell phones. However the romance is romance and hasn’t changed much since this book was wrote in the 1980′s.
Caroline & Brendon don’t start out with a traditional relationship. They start out day dreaming about each other through their window. Once they actually meet in person things get HOT quickly. Caroline has a lot on her plate not only is she a family therapist professionally, her family counts on her to be their personal family therapist as well. She’s not sure she is ready to take on a relationship or at least a serious relationship at this point in her life.
Heat Wave was a fun fantasy romance. I enjoyed the aspect of day dreaming about someone & then meeting them and finding they are even better in person then you originally thought.
I had not had the pleasure of reading A SPECIAL SOMETHING before, which is the second story and also a re-release. Leslie arrives at the family villa in St. Barts to spend her birthday. What she finds when she gets there is the hunk she has been day dreaming about from a magazine ad, Oliver Ames. She never expected her brother to get her what she told him she wanted for her birthday. But here he is & now what is she going to do with them. Leslie isn’t into sleeping around and really isn’t sure how to handle the situation. Oliver is happy to explore the island and give Leslie some space.
Sparks are not a problem with these two, knowing for sure how to handle them is. I enjoyed watching these two kind of dance around each other not knowing for sure how to handle what they were feeling. It was fun watching them get to know each other and forming a relationship they didn’t intend to form. I glad Leslie & Oliver’s story was included in this re-release I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed both of these stories and I would recommend this book if you are a Barbara Delinksy fan like I am. If you don’t enjoy taking a step back in time and reading a story that wrote in the late 1980′s then you probably will not enjoy this story. If you are looking to read some of Ms. Delinksy’s earlier work then this is a great opportunity for you.
