Product Description
Belle Jamison is finally starting to feel like a normal girl again. Her job as a paranormal investigator is going well, she's learned to control her supernatural abilities (mostly) and she's just gotten engaged to Rome Masters, the ultra-sexy operative who once tried to neutralize her!
But planning a wedding is never easy, especially when the bride keeps accidentally torching her dress, the groom returns from a dangerous mission with selective memory loss and the man responsible now wants Belle for himself. With Rome's ex determined to win him back and a new band of supervillains on the horizon, it will take all Belle's powers—plus a little help from her trusty empath sidekick—to save the day, salvage the wedding and prove that true love really does conquer all.

Meh,
By
This review is from: Twice as Hot (Mass Market Paperback)
I was a bit disappointed in this novel as it felt kind of rushed in the writing and slow in the action. Fans of the first book will enjoy knowing more about the characters but there wasn't the fun and funny content as in the first book. If Gena continues this series, I hope the editor is able to tighten up the storyline a bit without so much redundancy in plot.

3.5 stars: Fast paced roller coaster ride!,
By S. Cook "Reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twice as Hot (Mass Market Paperback)
This books takes up about a month or two after the first book Playing with Fire (Tales of An Extraordinary Girl) leaves off. Belle is learning her powers and her new job as an investigative agent for the paranormal government agency is going well. She and Rome are still together and they are now engaged. While out on a mission, Rome didn't call her as planned so she is worried. At the same time, her friend and roomate Tanner is dumped and heartbroken by Lexis (who is also Rome's ex wife). Rome finally comes back from his mission, but he's been injured and his memory has been tampered with. All of his memories of Belle have been stolen! To Belle's horrified dismay, he thinks he is still with his ex wife. Lexis, who is a psychic forsaw this happening, so is trying to get him back. While dealing with all this, they must continue to work difficult cases and go after the bad guys.
I couldn't put this book down. With lots of twists and turns, the plot was very fast moving. The conflicts with that awful Lexis trying to take Rome away completely stressed me out and it was so upsetting what Belle was going through. But the trials made her stronger and I liked seeing her growth from the last book to this one. The ending was great. A very enjoyable read!

Showalter Hits Again In Twice As Hot,
By Tracy "One Good Book Deserves Another" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twice as Hot (Mass Market Paperback)
Twice as Hot, the sequel to Gena Showalter's Playing with Fire (Hqn), reintroduces her happy, happy readers to Belle Jamison, the feisty and fun and EXTRAordinary Wonder Girl, and her hunky love, the Cat Man Rome Masters, a few months further along in their lives from the end of the previous book.
Belle's happy world and dreams of a perfect wedding go up in an inferno of flames when her fiance and supernatural superagent Rome goes down in the line of duty - and when he gets up, its sans memories of anything and everything connected to Belle. Including Belle herself. And his manipulative ex-wife Lexis - psychic, mother of Rome's daughter, and major be-otch, takes full advantage to try insinuate herself right back into Rome's heart - and bed. You know, of course, there just isn't any way Wonder Girl Belle's going to stand for THAT. I fell for Belle and Rome in Playing with Fire, and I was thrilled when I heard there was going to be a sequel. I waited patiently and was fanstastically rewarded with the fast, sexy romp and many thrilling and fun twists and turns in Twice as Hot. Belle grows into her powers a bit and starts to find a balance within herself, always a favorite theme of mine, and I could NEVER be disappointed to see the sexy Rome Masters doing his thing. The strong supporting cast of Tanner, Cody, and more are back, and prepare to meet a few new and interesting - and in some cases deadly - faces. I would LOVE to see this sequel be a stepping stone into a legitimate series, as I very much enjoy the characters and the world that Showalter has created here. It's not as darkly themed, perhaps, as her Lords of the Underworld series, but it's original and fresh and the characters really sparkle and shine...sometimes literally. Um...okay...MOST of the time literally. Twice as Hot is a mostly light, always fun, sexy and exciting way to spend some time and I'd love to read more Tales of an Extra Ordinary Girl. Well done. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun Read,
By NoSleep2Nite4Me "MCO" - Published on Amazon.com
Loved this book. It was like reading a fun comic book about an adult fairy tale. I think you have to be open to the mindset required for these two types of reading materials to understand and enjoy this book. The characters - super heroes with super powers - were amusing and the story was fast paced and full of action from the first page. The sex scenes were just right - steamy and detailed but not too much, not too little. The romance between the two major characters, Rome and Belle, was very sweet and everything you could want in a fairy tale type romance. I had only read the first book (Playing With Fire) in the series half-way through so I was somewhat familiar with the background of the major characters. However, I don't think anyone will feel lost in the story if this book is the first one they read. If you're looking for a romance with deep, life altering meanings, it's not in this book. If you're looking to read just for fun, then this is the perfect book in my opinion.
