Crashing Heat Book Review

I put a bunch more books on reserve and they all seemed to be coming in at the same time but I luckily had enough time to read them this time.  The top of my list was Crashing Heat (Nikki Heat) by Richard Castle.  I was excited to see what trouble Nicki Heat got into in the latest saga of the book!  After reading it, I was surprised when I went back and found out it was the 10th book in the series! 

Marriage. It's a double-edged sword, or at least it is for Nikki Heat. Her husband, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jameson Rook, infuriates her in a way no one else in her entire life has ever done. He also takes her to heights of pleasure she has never experienced. But most of all, she loves the man with all her heart and she'd do anything to protect him. Which is just what she had done not so long ago. It had almost cost them everything.

Now, Rook is given the honor to be a visiting professor at his alma mater, and he can't pass up the opportunity to mentor bourgeoning writers at his former award-winning college newspaper. Shortly after his arrival on campus, a female reporter for the paper is found dead?naked?in Rook's bed.

Dealing with betrayal from any man is not Nikki's style. She and Jameson have had plenty of conflicts during their complicated relationship, but none like this. Is her husband keeping secrets of his own, or can she really trust him? In order to find out, Nikki gives Jameson the benefit of the doubt and digs into Jameson's theory of a secret society within a secret society. What she finds puts her investigative skills, and her marriage, to the test.

In this book, Nicki is dealing with her husband, Jameson Rook, going to his alma mater to teach writing.  It is far away and this will be the first time in their marriage that they spend this much time apart.  Nicki isn't happy to be sleeping by herself while her husband is away.  It all changes quickly when she gets the call that Rook needs her help.  She drops everything and goes to help clear his name.  It is a crazy mystery that they unfold together and I think that you will enjoy the interesting journey.  The mystery is one that you will never believe.  I hope that you check out this book and enjoy it as much as I have.  The series was a great addition to the show that I already loved.  Just make sure you keep the two separate because the characters are very different. I hope that you start at the beginning of the series and work your way through but that is just how I like to read them so enjoy them as you like!!
