Heat #3

Blaze

Rate this book
BLAZE is the third part of HEAT, a four-part series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Deborah Bladon.

Cadence Sutton is determined to make her career dreams come true. She's young, ambitious and falling hard for her boss, Chef Tyler Monroe.

He's everything she wants. He's a force of nature in the kitchen and just as intense when they're alone. As he works to rebuild Nova, Cadence realizes that regardless of how much he wants her in his bed, when it comes to the restaurant, she'll need to prove her worth.

When a familiar face from Cadence's past threatens to destroy everything she's worked for, Tyler vows to stand beside her.

Secrets are shared, emotions are intense and as Cadence readies to tell Tyler exactly what he means to her, fate has a plan of its own.

Note: This ends in a cliffhanger. Part Four will be released soon. The entire 4-part series will be available as a bundle within the next few weeks.

About the author

Deborah Bladon

101 books2,337 followers
Deborah Bladon had never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She was a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you could often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan was definitely her second home.

She cherished her family and believed that each day was a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.

Absolutely fantastic. Can Cadence ever move beyond her past? Does her heart have room for love? Will Chef show his trust in them or destroy their relationship?

Cadence's career, her reputation, means everything to her. So when she's pushed aside for a promotion the plot thickens. What will Chef's reaction be? Will he support her decisions? Can they separate their working issues from their personal concerns?

Deborah Bladon wrote such an intense book and I'm now desperate for the final volume. And that ending...what an incredible cliffhanger. A MUST read!

Wow!
Every time Cadence is ready to share a secret with Tyler, the "secret" shows up live and in living color! Cadence nervously asks Sergio where his wife is. Because she knows they can NEVER come face to face.
Of course, Tyler thinks he's facing another of Cadence's boyfriends because according to him, she is the biggest slut. It is so going to blow Tyler's narrow mind when their real connection is revealed.

Great read.

Turned out to be a far better storey that what I thought it would be before I started. Never read this author before, but will look into reading more of her books.

OMG! Deborah Bladon are you trying to break my heart or is that just a side-effect of your literary genius? Seriously, a lot of your plot lines didn't necessarily surprise me in this one but that didn't stop them destroying me. I knew who Sergio was but the extent of his back story caught me off guard.

I had a feeling that something bad would happen at the end and I'm no clairvoyant but that aside this book has literally cut out my heart and left me bleeding. I can't bare it! Someone's dead and I don't know what to do with that. I just can't put a face to it. I'm not ready for either of them to die!

Cadence and Tyler have their whole future. ahead of them - even if he has seriously pissed me off in this book but we'll get to that. As for Sergio, I want them to build a relationship. I'm devastated because I think you've killed Sergio off and for me at least this book was less about Tyler and Cadence'd great romance and more about Cadence and Sergio reconnecting.

There are so many other things to say like WTF is Maribel up to? She seems hellbound to get between them but she's supposed to be married?? It's all just a bit odd. And as for the new Executive Chef - why hasn't Tyler told Cadence? And perhaps more significantly is this why he didn't want her there? The real reason?

So many thoughts and now I have to wait for answers. I hate you Bladon - that's a lie. I pretty much love you - but sometimes I hate to love you. It's like my love of chocolate. No matter how much I love it - it's just not that good for me. As much as I love your writing, it never fails to destroy me.

Oh Ms. Bladon you are killing me with these cliffhangers!

I’ve read Blaze The Heat Series book 3 and I NEED more!! Blaze follows on from Burn and Spark, continuing on Cadence and Tyler’s journey. At the end of Spark we were left with a major cliffhanger that is cleared up at the beginning of Blaze. Blaze is no different, leaving us with the mother of all cliff-hangers!! Deborah really seems to have a knack for leaving a reader CRAVING more!!

I really love when a series of books flows together so well, it so easy to pick up where the last book ended and be right back where you were, watching it all umfold.

Cadence and Tyler’s relationship has been a tumultuous one so far and it continues in this instalment of The Heat series. Their relationship becomes deeper and stronger, but not without its trials. There are constant hurdles for them to jump, keeping you glued and turning the page.

As I have previously said in my reviews of Burn and Spark, this is my favourite series of Deborah’s so far! It is not predictable and I cannot wait to find out what is going to happen next. The ending of Blaze is ensuring I’m at the edge of my seat waiting for Inferno to be released!!

BLAZE is the third part of HEAT.

Cadence Sutton is young, ambitious and falling hard for her boss, Chef Tyler Monroe.

He's everything she wants. He is working to rebuild Nova, Cadence knows that regardless of how much he wants her in his bed, when it comes to the restaurant, she'll need to prove her worth.

When a significant person from her past threatens to destroy everything she's worked for she hopes Tyler will be by her side. Hopefully Cadence can move on from the past and learn to love again.

Each of these books ends in a cliffhanger! They are driving me crazy in a really good way! I should have waited until they were all out but I just love Deborah's books so much I just couldn't wait to read them. Someone being dead is completely messing with my head because no matter which one it is it will be horrible!!

OMG, this bk. Is so full of intense, action, emotion, distrust, then taking a chance. Tyler starts out trying to get Cadence to forgive him, she is hurt as he was do quick to believe the worst, then taking a new job, her father entering her life again. Another person from Tyler's past is brought in, where trust is so important, yet again something so important is kept from someone you say you love. Can they survive, when their love and trust keeps getting tested??? So cannot eat for Inferno???

OMG. This third book was a rollercoaster of emotion especially what happens between Tyler and Cadence. Now that we understand Cadence's past, the readers can begin to understand Tyler's possessive and hot tempered nature. Things are taking a different turn for each of them but they are still choosing to stick it out together. Even ghosts from Cadence's past return and things are looking up for her. But what comes up, must come down and the end of the book was an intense DOWN. I think I may have to take a break before reading Inferno to mentally prepare myself for what's gonna happen next.

Great!

I chose this rating because I really, really enjoyed this book. The characters were really intriguing. Cadence and Tyler were getting along good. Every time they are getting along good something always come and gets in the way. I agree with Cadence, Tyler should have let her know about Neela his ex coming to work for him in his restaurant. I hope Tyler and Cadence dad are alright. I am excited for the next book. I recommend this book to all romance readers.

OMG! Just like all of Deborah's series you get sucked in and your left on the edge of your seat! Deborah is the Queen of cliffhangers....I started reading part 3 and didn't stop till I got to the last page. SO looking forward to part 4! Amazing! With Tyler and Cadence there is just as much heat out of the kitchen as there is in the kitchen! Will this latest recipe go up in flames?

OMG I loved it! What a cliffhanger!

I absolutely love this series and can't wait for Inferno. Tyler and Cadence's story is a tale of ups and downs but a tale that could happen it real life which makes me love it even more. I have read all of Deborah Bladon's books and have lived them all including this one. She never let's anyone down. She is an amazing writer.

Sinfully Hot!

Cadence worked hard for e everything she has achieved. She has her eye on an executive chef position someday. Tyler is the hottest chef around. Working and studying under Tyler is just what Cadence needs to achieve her goals. Things however don't go as Cadence had plan.

Holey Cliffhangers!

Awesome series and I love the that it is set with chefs. I love the characters and love that Sophia makes all their clothes. We are going to need a series about Sophia. Book 3 brings lots of drama and an huge cliffhanger ending. Can't wait for book 4 to see what really happens.

OMG!

The beginning of this story was not what I expected at all. Glad that Cadence decided to meet Sergio and listen to what he said. Great that Tyler was there to support her. Another big cliffhanger I cannot wait for the next book.

Loved this one!

This series is great! Tyler is a hot chef that runs into all kinds of issues in this installment. I don't want to give too much away but all of the secrets that Cadence has been hiding come to light. Tyler has a few of his own. Can't wait for book 4.

It's burning up

So this third story leads you on a path that just shocks you to no end. I thought the cliffhanger in the last book was a shocker, this one was ten times the shock factor.
I always love how the author writes her stories and leaves us wanting more.

So, I have read this series, but had not documented the first book. I decided to re-read them all. Great decision. It was a marathon Heat session, but an enjoyable one. You have to read them all. Spoiler alert: there's cliffhangers!

What? No!!!!

If this isn't the cliffhanger of the year I will eat my words. Hasn't poor Cadence suffered enough yet? This poor girl needs a happy ending.
