When a whisper of a trail presents itself for Rachel Stewart to track down Angelo Donati, Rachel leaps at the chance. She didn’t ever imagine the trail would land her smack in the middle of a mafia scene. She finds she’s a pawn in their twisted game.
Angelo is different than the man she knew a few years ago, but he’s still just as bad-boy-sexy, strong, and charismatic as humanly possible. His actions to save her lead them into hiding where she will be in close quarters with Angelo, a man she once loved but doesn’t know if she can trust.
When the enemy strikes close to home, they awaken a Heatwave in Angelo, finding first hand, there is nothing he won’t do when it comes to protecting what’s his.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Let's see.... Okay so I guess the basics come first right? My name is Olivia B. Dannon. I was born and raised in the United States of America.

"But where? Where did you grow up?" asks the more inquisitive of you readers out there.

I was raised by an amazing woman! She brought up me and my crazy siblings by herself. We moved a lot because as a single parent my mom moved where she could work and go to school.

Growing up with a big family and on a very tight income was like having a daily feast set before my muse on a daily basis! I started creating stories before I could even write my name. I am a writer, story teller, tale weaver, imagination explorer, and dreamer.

After my mom set such a good example to work hard and get an education I couldn't do anything less. I got my degree in California, and I am still continuing my education as I feel that a person can never be too educated and well, my muse is a ravenous beast who must be fed.

I married my very own prince with green eyes, raven black hair, and a smile that warms my heart each time I win one of his shy grins.

I am blessed to get to be a mom, something that I do not take for granted. My kiddos have my heart, and have since the day they were born. I am crazy about them and I put them first in my life. No body has had to deal with an obsessed fan like my kids do! LOL! I am the paparazzi, the hugging tickle monster, all up in their business Mama Bear and I love it, and most days they do too :)

And the dogs! I can't forget my dogs! We have three dogs at the moment and I'm trying to be really good and not add to our pack. It's hard. They're SO FLUFFY! Lol!

I love to read of course! I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on but I most enjoy Romances of every kind, Spy Novels, Thrillers, Paranormal Romances, Happily Ever Afters are a MUST for me!

What else..... I'm chatty, and I LOVE to hear from my readers! If you hit me up on Facebook you can be sure that I will answer you! Well, unless you're a troll, then no I won't. I'll stick with the awesome folks, thank ya very much!

I'm currently working hard on the next book in the Heatwave series and the next book in the Bargaining with Billionaires Series! Sign up for my newsletter if you want release dates!

Wow! This book had everything but the kitchen sink. It was absofreakinlutlely amazing!!! You want mystery? You'll find it here.... You want suspense? You'll find it here.... You want Mafia hits? You'll find it here.... You want a hot and sexy Italian mobster son that makes your panties melt and your pulse race? You'll find it here.... I could go on and on and on.....

We had Mafia, WPP, Murder, Mayhem, a Mole, Revenge, Redemption, Heartache, Heart Break, Romance and a HFN. The HEA will come later. This is book one of a series, but if you wanted to stop at just this one read you would be stop feeling you had a complete story. However, you will not want to stop here so we don't have to worry about that anyway.

Loved, Loved, Loved Angelo (Will). He was hot, sexy, a protector, a romancer, a bad boy, and a all around great guy. I would love to have my own Angelo :)

Rachel (Eileen) is such a sweetheart. She has lost so much and has come so far. She's lost her parents, had friends take advantage of her and found herself in one bad situation after another. She needs someone strong, loyal, devoted and willing to lay their life on the line to protector her and she finds that in Angelo.

This is written as a multi pov. The story line was fantastic and how so much action, drama, and was pure entertainment. The characters were all easy to become attached to, even the secondary characters. They were so well written that it made me want to know their stories as well. The dialogue between the characters was engaging and drew me in and made me feel as if I was part of the conversation. As for the descriptions to details, they were so easy to visualize and made it easy to imagine that I was actual there being part of the story.

All in all a super fantastic read!

Would I recommend this book? Absofreakinlutely!

Would I read more from this author? Oh yes please!

3.0 out of 5 stars 2.5 stars. Unpolished craft mars storytelling
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018

The author had a good idea for a story, but the unprofessional writing and mistakes prevented it from ever getting off the ground.

A “telling” style of writing:
“Seeing Torrey inflamed his anger as it always did.”

Amateurish character development:
“Angelo met his gaze with a challenge in his eyes.”
And a few pages later…
“Angelo meeting Gerry’s challenging gaze.”
The men seem to stomp and strut around like overblow facsimiles of tough guys, and it doesn’t play real.

Numerous editing errors:
“She didn’t want the pity and couldn’t *bare* the chance of them coming back.”
“She would have to forget his jet black hair and those honey brown eyes of *Angelo* if she was going to last through a date with Gerry.”
“The fear glistened in Rachel’s eyes.” (*the* fear?)

I stopped taking notes on the errors as little as 3% in on my Kindle—I’ll leave you to imagine how the rest of the book went.

Clichéd storyline and romance:
The hero and heroine meet in a way that we’ve all read a million times before—both lusting after each other’s body parts. I don’t mind the lusting after, it was just depicted in an uninteresting manner that lacked innovation.

You won’t find surprises on how the Italian mafia was represented either.

Dannon appears to have potential, but this was an unpolished piece of work that was far from ready for publication.

I've had this on my kindle from way back last year and never got around to reading it. First of all, I never read the synopsis for this book, I just went with the cover and it was nothing like I expected.

Rachel and Angelo were in a relationship two years prior to this story starting and they were parted when her parents were killed...this story starts when Rachel is going through a difficult time and she can't find a break. She ends up going on a date which changes her life forever.

Rachel and Angelo get flung to witness protection and they have several hurdles to climb before they come close to a happy ever after.

I really enjoyed this book and just downloaded book 2 to start right away.

WOW Heatwave by Olivia Dannon had me hooked from the first page.
This is a love story with a twist.... A mafia twist, Angelo and Rachel fell in love back in school but life took a curl twist and they went their separate ways... But but life took another twist and the found each other again, but it's not plain sailing.
I truly recommend this book.
If you love a romance and a few twist and turns then your love this book too.

I can't wait for The next book by Olivia Dannon

Definitely my favourite book so far from Olivia Dannon. It's full of love, lust and danger which is a gripping combination. I was totally engrossed in the lives of Rachel and Angelo and couldn't put it down once I began. I recommend that you read it and enjoy it as much as I did.
