Northern Heat

 Northern Heat

Helene Young



Reviewed by Helen


This is a book I have had waiting for me for a long time and I should have read it a long time ago it has to be one of the best books I have read, fast paced, action packed with such awesome characters, set in Cooktown in northern Queensland, come a long for a heart stopping journey and meet Conor and Kristy.

Conor is living on his Yacht on the Endeavour River and he has a past that he would much prefer to keep secret, he is working at the local PCYC with the kids and loving it, he is doing all he can to make a difference in his life and these kids, here he meets Dr. Kristy Dark mother of young Abby and his heart is finally opening up but when he almost witnesses a murder life is about to get very tough for Conor again.

Dr. Kristy Dark has moved to Cooktown with her teenage daughter to make a fresh start after the tragedy that they have been through they are still close enough to her parents and the family cattle station, she is drawn to Conor, Abby’s sports coach this is not what she has in mind but when she is called to treat a gunshot victim this brings them closer together.

When a cyclone is just about to hit the small town life gets very dangerous in more ways than one as Conor realises that one of the local families may be linked to his past this puts Kristy, Abby and her friend Sissy in grave danger with the wind blowing the rain pouring down and guns firing life is on the edge for this couple, will they make it through.

I loved this story so very much Kristy is brave and strong and so caring and Conor no matter his past he is the best, if you love a fabulous romantic suspense filled with danger, suspense where your heart is in your stomach then pick this one up you will not be sorry, I have now read all of Helene’s books and would love some more, she really is a wonderful story teller. I do highly recommend this one.
