If you can’t take the heat… stay away from the flame.
Katie Parks has been on her own since the age of fifteen.
All she’s ever wanted is a place to call her own—a life that is wholly hers
that no one can take away. She thought she finally had it, but with the strike
of a single match, everything she worked so hard for is reduced to a pile of
smoking ash. And she almost is too.
Now she’s being stalked by someone who’s decided it’s her
time to die. The only thing standing in the path of her blazing death is sexy
firefighter Holt Arkain.
Katie’s body might be safe with Holt… but her heart is
another story.
As the danger heats up, sparks fly and the only thing Katie
knows for sure is that her whole life is about to go up in flames.

Character Bios for TORCH
Here is a little
information about the main character’s of TORCH! Katie and Holt! A little FYI
Katie’s name was originally Meghan. BUT as I was writing Holt refused to call
her that. Everything I wrote that he said, he called her Katie. Sooo, I gave
him his way and changed her name. LOL!
Katie:
Katie is a young librarian who loves to get lost in a book.
She has lived on her own for many years and wants a place to call her own.
She’s never really dated and doesn’t have any close friends. She the poster child
for being a loner.
Katie has freckles, reddish hair and is very short and thin.
Holt thinks she’s tiny. She thinks Holt is huge. Katie also likes to steal
bacon off Holt’s plate and she has to sit on phone books when driving certain
cars so she can see out of the window.
Holt:
Holt was raised in Wilmington, NC by two loving parents. His
Dad works in construction. When he was around sixteen years of age he
volunteered for the fire department and spent a lot of time at the fire house.
When he graduated high school he went into training and then was hired by the
Wilmington Fire Department as a fire man.
Holt is a twenty four year old hottie. He has broad
shoulders, short, dark hair and drives a candy apple red truck. He maintains
that women are not allowed to drive his truck. Holt is a terrible cook and says
the only thing he can cook good is cereal.
Oh, and he has big feet.
TORCH SOUNDTRACK
I have a confession to make. I don’t listen to music when I
write. I know. I’m super boring. I don’t listen to music because then I end up
singing along, dancing in my panties and typing the words instead of actually
writing the story.
That’s not really good for business and my children are
traumatized every time I dance in my panties. (Oh please, you know you do it
too).
So, this playlist isn’t really what I listened to while I
wrote TEASE, because I listened to nothing.
But these are a few songs with their Youtube videos for your
enjoyment!!
Caution: If you end up dancing in your panties I am not
responsible!!! LOL
Girl on Fire by
Alicia Keys (this isn’t mean is it? I mean someone literally tried to light

My Review: 5 stars
Man, what a debut novel! This was a great book from start to finish and I read it in one afternoon. It was easy to get into the whole storyling, the characters were appealing, and so was their chemistry. I seriously don't know where authors get their ideas, but this was a great one - and what an intro!! I loved Holt from the beginning and thought it was awesome that he was such a stand-up guy. He is exactly what Katie needed in her life after being on her own for so long. Damn, that girl is strong and resilient. And when she makes up her mind about something, that's it. Cambria did such a great job with this novel, I just know I'm going to like the next one.

My Review: 5 stars
Cambria does it again. She manages to take something that many women would be terrified of doing and through her character, Harlow, makes it like just a job. Something you've got to do to pay the bills. Everyone has one of those. It also doesn't hurt that Harlow has sexy Cam there to help out. He's a bad boy, whose had his share of women, but once he becomes involved with Harlow - that's it for him. Their relationship moves really fast, and some people may have a problem with that. Personally, I don't. Real life relationships can move just as quickly. I've got to admit I did not like the stalker aspect of the storyline, but it didn't detract from it overall, jsut added some danger into the mix. I really am loving how Cambria brings these characters to life and makes them so very interesting and fun to read about. I seriously can't wait for the next book!!!
