Heat It Up was a sweet and sexy second chance romance that weaves a layer of emotions and steam. While I enjoyed the book, why didn’t I rate this book a 5? Well the answer to that is simple. I felt at times this book could have been shorter since there were moments I felt the story drag a bit and the whole Joni situation was getting a bit tiresome. But other than that, overall I did enjoy this book. So if you are looking for a book that has sports, romance, and second chances integrated into story line then this book might be for you.
