Jillian
Parks doesn’t need her hybrid scorpion pepper to set her pulse racing. Wildly
charismatic rancher Jack Reed does that all on his own in this scorcher from
Gigi Templeton.
Don’t ever think I didn’t want more time with you, darlin’.
Those were her college boyfriend’s last words to her after a phone call
summoned him home to Texas. In the ten years since, Jack Reed has taken over
his family’s ranch, and Jillian Parks has experienced devastating losses with
traumatic repercussions.
Now a reclusive insomniac, she podcasts about the specialty hybrid chili
peppers she grows in her Seattle greenhouse, keeping a closed door between her
and the past. But when Jillian’s producer coaxes her to make a surprise call in
to Jack’s YouTube BBQ channel, their chemistry still sizzles!
An invite to the ranch for a follow-up collab is a scary proposal for Jillian.
But forward movement is key to her recovery, and it’s time to take the bull by
the horns. With Jack’s commanding yet soothing presence, maybe this charismatic
cowboy is just the right ingredient to help her heal—while adding a different
kind of spice to her life.

Jillian Parks has built her world of hot sauce. She grows and blends peppers to
make new flavors that tempt buyers to her website.
Jack Reed found his true love when he was in college, but a family emergency
had him leaving school and her behind. Now, 10 years later, she is calling his
show.
When Jillian calls into Jack's cooking show, their banter makes the fans of the
show go crazy. Jillian decides to go to Texas for a week to do several shows
with Jack. Each show is fun and flirty, and the fans are loving it. Her sales
are going through the roof.
Jillian tells Jack about her past, which is heartbreaking, and Jack takes it
upon himself to help her overcome her fear of crowds by having her join his
family for meals.
Jillian and Jack were each other's first loves, and the feelings are
resurfacing. Can Jillian make a life change and move to Texas or will both of
them be heartbroken forever?
I enjoyed this story and was hoping Jillian and Jack would end up together. As
their story unfolds, you will see that they belong together. This story is
filled with painful pasts for both Jillian and Jack. Jack has a large, loving
family that accepts Jillian from the first meeting, a family that she didn't
realize she needed. I hope you give this one a chance and that you enjoy it
too. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
