White Hot Audiobook Summary

The Hidden Legacy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews continues as Nevada and Rogan navigate a world where magic is the norm…and their relationship burns hot

Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill–she knows when people are lying–and she’s used that magic (along with plain, hard work) to keep her colorful and close-knit family’s detective agency afloat. But her new case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed the city of Houston once before, bringing Nevada back into contact with Connor “Mad” Rogan.

Rogan is a billionaire Prime–the highest rank of magic user–and as unreadable as ever, despite Nevada’s “talent.” But there’s no hiding the sparks between them. Now that the stakes are even higher, both professionally and personally, and their foes are unimaginably powerful, Rogan and Nevada will find that nothing burns like ice …

White Hot Audiobook Narrator

Renee Raudman is the narrator of White Hot audiobook that was written by Ilona Andrews

”Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian, and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.) They have co-authored four New York Times and USA Today bestselling series: the urban fantasy of Kate Daniels, rustic fantasy of the Edge, paranormal romance of Hidden Legacy, and Innkeeper Chronicles. They live in Texas with their two children and many dogs and cats.

3rd read just as good. 4.75 Come Into My Lair StarsI keep thinking that I'm going to write you guys a better review of this. But no matter what I say it will not be as awesome as the words in the book and the fantastic blend of humor, sexual tension and action. This was one of my favorite descriptions in the book. he had thunder on his brow and lightning in his eye. I never understood what that phrase meant until Rogan’s face demonstrated it for me. Yes I know it is just release day but it is also reread day for me. SO EXCITED I couldn't wait any longer to share this book with the rest of the world.Original Review July 2016 (from the beta)Wow…wow…wow.The Andrews do not disappoint. This book had everything I wanted and more.The sexual tension was…The number of times something Rogan said made me swoon…..3, 7, 9, 23. Actually so many I don’t remember.But beyond the Rogan and Nevada romance was such a fantastic story full of new magic. Nevada’s magic, her families, her enemies and Cornelius’s (the animal mage from Burn for Me) magic was amazing I want to have his powers because….Ninja Ferrets!Ilona Andrews always comes up with some great monsters and we are not disappointed in this. There are some crazy beasties and a little more exploration of things that can come from the arcane realm.This story had dark moments, romantic moments, cute adorable (Rogan with a Cat) moments, wtf moments, tense how are they going to get out of this alive moments and so much more. But this still won’t be out for awhile so here is one quote to hold you over. Enter my lair, said the dragon. I have shiny treasure for you to play with, I’ll keep you warm and safe, and if it suits my purpose, I’ll chain you to the floor and kill your client by throwing quarters at him with my magic. Full Review to Come Closer to Release Date.Pre-ReviewEverything else goes on hold now......This gets my undivided attention.After my quick reread of Burn for Me I'm totally ready to beta this.

Maybe a gazillion ★★★★★ would be enough.... but probably not!!Let's talk expectations. .. As all of us devoted readers know expectations can be the worst kind of plague. They make you excited and often a little bit manic and most of the time they lead to you wanting very specific things. Obviously the authors not being a mind readers can't deliver exactly what your overzealous imagination has come up with for their characters. And even if they could read minds, yours is probably not the only overexcited one they would have to satisfy. But is this ever a problem with IA? Nope. Just nope. They deliver every freaking time. ... even their "average" books are only average when compared to their other books, and much better than most other authors' awesome ones.So now, having just finished this book (and I feel so lucky for having read this ahead of time) I actually have to write a vague enough review so that I don't spoil anyone's experience with this. Me... the Spoiler Queen!So in very few words, what should one expect of this book...Action This should not come as a surprise since IA always deliver in this part. Fighting, car chases, magic duels, mythical creatures,... are IA's bread and butter and this book was no different! Romance This series is more romantic than Kate Daniels. The first book had enough sexual tension to light a room, this one had enough to light a city. I am a romance kind of girl so was I annoyed by this? Not freaking likely! Especially since the emotions made Mad Rogan's and Nevada's back-and-forths no less hilarious.Plot, story, writingWhen has IA ever failed with a plotline? This book was one of the "Prime" examples of why I love this couple so much. This is a short series so these books are not stand-alones. I wouldn't advise reading them out of order. This book did have a short of beginning and end in the storyline but it was really only a part of the overall story arch. But there was no confusion or repetition of useless information. Everything was done so masterfully that you just kept devouring information and yet you were never fed up. The plot was complicated enough to keep you glued but not a tangled mess you couldn't make sense of. Humor Two words: Ferret spies!Characters Despite all the greatness of the above, we all know that the real strength of IA's books comes from the characters and their development. Both the main and secondary characters are always full of uniqueness and awesomeness and plenty of times crazyness. This book was no different. We get to know Nevada and mad Rogan grow right along with Nevada's family and their friends. We watch Nevada coming into her power and having to make difficult decisions, both personal and professional. We learn more about my Mad Rogan(*sigh*) and what makes him tick. We learn about her family and their unique weirdness. We get to know Augustine and Cornelius. Everyone is special, everyone has hidden and obvious depths and everyone is exciting in their own way. Even the villains are interesting! This is as far as I can go without spoilers. Just read the book... it's worth it! ARC provided via Edelweiss! *****************************************(view spoiler)[OMG!! I got an ARC for this and Edelweiss didn't even bother sending me an email! I could have been reading this days ago!*************10/1/2016************2017? 20-fucking-17??When did this happen and where was I? I take everything back. I don't hate the cover. I actually love it. I am just such a whiner! Just give me the freaking book and I will make this awesome cover a poster on my wall!**************1/8/2015*************HOLY CHEESINESS!!! This cover is even worse than the usual for IA! WTH?? If I didn't already know them I would think they are writing bad erotica from the cover and even the BLURB which is annoyingly vague and too heavy on the promise of sexual tension to come.Meh...I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this cover.**************************************Aha... It has a title and a date(which isn't bad at all since I was beginning to think it would be 2016)!!! Well, it's definitely gonna be hot. It has my Rogan in it!Now I just want a cover and a blurb.**************************************Another book I can't wait to get my hands on. Luckily though, now I will have at least 3 books from IA to look forward to every year.*Dear book,Do come out fast!* (hide spoiler)]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

i want a mad rogan :(honestly though, this was fantastic. very glad i gave these books a second chance because they're the perfect blend of plot & romance that i need in my life. also love that i have another great series to recommend people that are looking to transition from YA fantasy romance to something more adult but not too smutty. i also immediately started the third book in the series, so you know the series has to be good.

4.5 stars. This is a really great urban fantasy despite having maybe the worst cover ever. Review first posted on Fantasy Literature. Fair warning: Some spoilers in this review for the first book in this series, Burn for Me. In White Hot (2017), the second book in Ilona Andrews’ HIDDEN LEGACY urban fantasy series, we return to a magical version of Houston, Texas, where some people (typically the rich and powerful) have inheritable magical powers. Nevada Baylor is from a not-particularly wealthy family that runs a private investigation firm, but she and some other members of her family have magical powers that are suspiciously strong for a family with no reputation at all as magic users. Actually, Nevada is a rare truthseeker: she not only knows when others are lying to her, but also recently realized that she can compel them to tell her the truth. But she’s trying to keep her magical power secret to avoid the trouble that public knowledge of it would bring.It’s two months after the end of Burn for Me and the near-destruction of Houston. Nevada Baylor hasn’t seen Connor “Mad” Rogan lately, since she told him she wasn’t interested in a fling, and she assumes that he’s moved on, despite the intense feelings they felt for each other. Nevada makes a couple of fateful decisions: First, she decides to use her newfound power of magically forcing someone to tell her the truth, to compel a mass child molester/murderer to confess where he’s hidden the last girl he kidnapped, who authorities believe is still alive. Augustine Montgomery, who holds the mortgage on the Baylor’s business, warns her that if her abilities become known it could be dangerous for her personally, but she can’t stand idly by. Nevada takes the precaution of disguising herself for the confrontation with the molester, but she knows she’s taking a risk that word of her spectacular powers will spread.Secondly, against her better judgment, Nevada agrees to take on an investigation for Cornelius Harrison, a gifted animal mage who appeared briefly in Burn for Me. His wife has been murdered while on the job as a lawyer for House Forsberg (hard to believe anyone would want to kill a lawyer, let alone four of them!) and he’s getting stonewalled on the details of her death. It’s clear that some of Houston’s magical Houses are involved in a far-reaching conspiracy. Unsurprisingly, as Nevada begins investigating Cornelius’ case, Rogan makes his long-awaited appearance. He has his own compelling reasons for being interested in this case ― as well as in Nevada.White Hot continues right where Burn for Me left off, with the fast-paced mix of adventure and romance that characterizes Ilona Andrews’ books. We learn more about the overarching conspiracy that endangers the life of almost every person in Houston, and Nevada and Rogan’s relationship continues to develop. The whole Baylor clan is back, as sassy and raucous as ever. Nevada’s younger teenage sisters, Catalina and Arabella, became more interesting and discernable personalities, and even are able to contribute to the investigation in some unexpected ways.One of the highlights in White Hot is the role of Cornelius and his animals: he has a mental rapport with beast and can train them to do incredible tricks, though they’re much more than stunts. There’s a scene with some criminally-minded ferrets that is beyond cute. As much as this scene will warm the heart of animal lovers, Cornelius also lets Nevada know that he has definite plans to avenge his wife’s death, though he’s close-mouthed about how he intends to do that.The Andrews author team excels at world-building, and one of the more intriguing aspects of the HIDDEN LEGACY series is its delving into the genetic aspects of magic and the effect this has had on magic users and their Houses socially. Some types of magic are more compatible than others. Dynasties are built around particular types of magic, and marriages are ruthlessly arranged to try to achieve the best possible combination to have magically gifted children that will keep the House in a position of power. There are various levels of magical power ― Prime, Significant, Notable ― and a House without a Prime is no longer a recognized House. That, too, plays a role in the plot of White Hot, in more than one way.White Hot has a rather cheesy romance novel cover, which is actually fitting, considering that it contains a several-pages-long explicit sex scene. Personally I thought it was over the top, especially since both parties to it are massively beaten up and bruised and Nevada has two broken ribs at the time. Apparently the painkillers in this world are magical too.White Hot is a compelling, compulsively readable novel that kicks the HIDDEN LEGACY series into an even higher gear. The reason for the title of this series becomes clear in a way that segues into the plotline of the third book, Wildfire, to be published in July 2017. If you’re a fan of the urban fantasy/romance genre and have any question at all about whether this series is worth your time, the answer is emphatically yes! … and you can skip or savor the long sex scene, according to your personal inclination.

Confession time: I'm a TOTAL Ilona Andrews nerd/super-fan!!When I met the writing duo at RT this year and got a SIGNED PAPERBACK (meep!!), I just about died. I was saving the book for a special time because I LOVED Burn for Me with a passion and I knew White Hot would be a winner. So when I sort of hit a reading slump this week, I picked up that glorious paperback and got to work. AND I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I stayed up until 3:48 am finishing it! This is not a drill! Okay, I'll admit the book isn't perfect, perfect. But honestly, it's the most compulsively readable book I've read in ages. I literally couldn't put it down. It was EXCITING, romantic, abundantly entertaining, and just sooooooo damn good! I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm STILL thinking about it. I want many more stories in this world. I want all of Nevada's family to have their own freakin' series! I want more, more, more, MORE!!Just awesome. Totally worth the wait to get the signed paperback by the authors themselves.

Oh, book, how I love you! Let me count the ways:♥ Ilona Andrews can do no wrong. No, I don't know them. No, I don't have any stake in their writing career. I'm just a simple fan-girl sitting in front of a computer asking them to keep writing.IA:♥ The main characters, Nevada and Rogan, are awesome. Their chemistry is amazing. Maybe I should roll down the window to let some of the sexual tension out. We needed a distraction, or I’d end up pulling over and we’d end up in the back seat, doing . . . things. ♥ But, don't worry, because in typical Ilona Andrews style, the side-characters are also awesome. They are all complex and feel like real, fleshed-out characters - no cardboard cut-outs. As a matter of fact, the side-characters are so good that I would love a book on a few of them. It's like they have this whole life thing going on even when they aren't in the current story. Weird.Yeah, I feel like there's a story here.♥ Along with action, romance, and magic, there is a side of comedy. “I, for one, welcome our new Mad Rogan Overlord. I’m eager to learn and prove to be a valuable member of his team.” Best Simpsons line ever...♥ And the number one reason you need to read this book: ninja ferret heist.That's right. It gots one.Thank you, ninja ferret!

Listened to the audiobook 3/30/2022. I think this second book is my favorite, and not even because of the excellent ferret heist. ♥️Bought the book for my Kindle and then purchased the audio when I got to about 30% Just finished a reread in preparation for Wildfire. I'll be back again someday to write a proper review. I've got all these highlights and notes, but no patience! It was woo-hoo good, all my wildest dreams came true. Rogan. RoganRoganRoganRoganRogan!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoUpdate: This is it? The cover redesign is a magical greenish background and a weird font? Did the publishers decide to drive us crazy? All I can say is that Adam Pierce and Grandma Frieda probably approved this cover. I AM STILL DYING TO READ THIS! Do not let cover-ug discourage you folks. I love this series. I love it like a love song baby. READ IT.—————————Thank you for putting a dang shirt on! Hee hee!Look! It's the FIRST CHAPTER!!!!!!!!http://www.ilona-andrews.com/snippet-...

(Insert generic rant about covers.)Putting my intense hate aside for just a moment, I do need to clarify that I loved the actual text of this book. I've gotten through all of the Kate Daniels series and the Innkeeper stuff, but I really ought to spell this out... I think I am in love with this series and it's even better than the others.Sheesh. It's really a case of misleading expectations thanks to that damn cover. I mean, technically, it has a strong romance plot through it, but for the most part, it's magical PI stuff with an intensely powerful city-killer who's in love with Nevada, our main character... not, I should mention, the state.And even pushing that aside, we have wonderful character development, solid and near perfect progression and change of circumstances, and very cute moments with the family. What else could we need? Well, there's always murder, revenge, political stuff revolving the Primes, and multiple near-death experiences culminating in a really hot scene after so much cold... but that's just icing on the cake.It's a pure pleasure to read and you know what? As a UF, it's rather unique because it focuses almost entirely on a great magic system... without vamps or weres at all. WHAT???? A UF WITHOUT vamps or weres? GET OUT OF HERE! :) Seriously. It only rises higher in my estimation from here. :)

If you enjoyed Burn for Me you aren't even going to know what to do with yourself after you finish White Hot, it left me absolutely desperate for Wildfire so its a very good job that they're being released so close together.I loved every single minute of this story, the chemistry between Rogan and Nevada blows my mind, let's face it EVERYTHING about Rogan hits my hot spots - there wasn't a scene with him in it that didn't have me swooning and fanning myself! He's an intense, brooding, full on alpha male who is as hot as Hades and has a slightly vulnerable squishy centre that you only spot if you look hard enough.The world building was great before but OMG there is so much more to discover in this book, about the different kinds of magic, about Nevada's abilities and her family history, about the crazy magical creatures that can be pulled out of the arcana and even about the way the different Houses handle their disputes. I have to say that Ilona & Gordon Andrews write the BEST female characters and families you'll ever come across. Nevada is so strong and kickass but she still has a lot to learn about herself and her magic and I love getting to discover what she's capable of right alongside her. Her sisters and cousins get their chance to shine in this book and I'm really curious to find out more about all of their different magical abilities in the future. I also loved the addition of Cornelius to the main cast of characters, his animal sidekicks are wonderful and the ninja ferrets are utterly priceless.White Hot has everything you could hope for: fun family banter, amazing chemistry between Nevada and Rogan, enemies who always seem to be one step ahead and who are willing to pull out all the stops to hurt our heroes. You'll be shocked one moment and swooning the next only to be watching in terror seconds later as you worry that all your favourite characters might not survive their latest adventure. One thing I guarantee is that you'll want to go back to the first page and start all over again the minute you finish it. I've already read it FIVE times and it's not even been published yet! I think it's safe to say that I'm addicted to this series, Ilona and Gordon were already my favourite authors but this series takes them to a whole new level and my obsession knows no bounds.I'll leave you with a couple of my favourite quotes just to whet your appetite further:A tall man was striding from the far end of the hallway. He wore the black robe and it flared around him, the wings of a raven about to take flight. He walked like he owned the building and he'd spotted an intruder in his domain. Magic boiled around him, vicious and lethal, so potent I could feel it from 30 yards away. He wasn't a man, he was an elemental force, a thunderstorm clad in black about to unleash its fury.and I finally understood why he was called Mad Rogan. It wasn't because he was insane. It was because he drove you nuts with sheer frustration.___________________________Before readingOMG OMG OMG OMG I HAVE WHITE HOT!!!!! It's on Edelweiss peeps, go and request it now!I am crazy excited about this one and can't bloody wait to start it but I have a review copy of the new Innkeeper book to read first then I need to reread Burn For Me again (and no I don't care that I only read it a month ago!) but after that White Hot is going straight to the top of my TBR pile. I'm going to be in Ilona Andrews HEAVEN this weekend but I pity any books I try to read after this bunch of awesomeness LOL. I suspect a reading slump will be hitting next week!___________________________1st readIt's not often a book comes along that is so amazing that the minute you finish it you find yourself having to reread the entire series again. Considering I've literally just binge read Burn for Me and White hot in the last 2 days the fact that I already started Burn for Me AGAIN says it all really!___________________________2nd ReadNo that's not a typo, I really did read both this book AND Burn For Me twice each in about 5 days LOL. That's how much I love this series - I am totally addicted and Rogan IS MINE!!It's far too early to write a full review so I'll post more nearer to the release date but I'm fully expecting to have read it at least another 5 times by next May LOL___________________________3rd & 4th ReadI think I should give up on commenting after every read of this one - I did it again and read it twice in a week for the second time LOL. I can't help myself I'm just totally addicted to Rogan!

ETAUggghhh, this cover is still atrocious, but the content is awesome. :)Reading felt like drinking this. It promised a lot and did it deliver! It went right up to my head and made me feel fabulous. :)Ilona & Gordon just went and did it again: reducing me to tears / laughter while making me hold my breath till the end and then of course serious deprivation, book hangover.The story takes up shortly after the events of Burn for Me and it has a very strong and intriguing start. It reads just like a "simple" intro before we get plunged into the main action, but you just know that it will have wider implications.Though Dina from The Innkeeper Chronicles, Volume One stands closer to me in character, I love Nevada. She is still smart and strong, has high moral and professional standards. I also love every last member of her wonderful, loyal Family (view spoiler)[from the maternal side anyway (hide spoiler)] and was happy to learn more about them collectively and individually in this book, but of course I want more.Rogan is as charmingly anti-social as ever and I cannot help liking him. He reminds me a bit of Dr. House: would probably drive me mad in real life, but is fascinating on page (on screen). “Have dinner with me,” I asked. “At my house. You can help me explain to my mother and grandmother what happened to my work vehicle.” (...) “Do you think your mother might try to shoot me?” “Possibly.” “Then absolutely. I wouldn’t miss it.”The Enemy (whoever they are): their brutal and blood-chilling efficiency in pursuing their goals takes your breath away and they always seem to be one step ahead of Nevada, Rogan & Co. Needless to say, that it makes the book even more tense and gripping.I also loved the other secondary characters: Cornelius (his story just broke my heart), his daughter and his animals and especially Augustine. It is a wonderful touch from the authors: Augustine is an illusionist, always presenting a perfect facade to the world (I wonder what is lurking behind), yet he has absolutely no illusions about/to himself. Great characterisation! World-building was taken up to a new level: the complexity of the magic Houses-politics, the role of Primes and the issues of magic + genetics were brilliantly developed and presented.But the cover is even more hideous than the one before - utterly revolting. :D Do you think IA was poking fun at their own cover with this?"His (Rogan's) back and ass are one long bruise with a helping of concrete road rash, so his dreams of being a nude model are shattered for a while."And this?"Howling did a number on your (Nevada's) face, so you won’t be modeling in the near future either." :)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
