Victoria Dahl is an author that I have read a couple of times in the past. Her writing I enjoyed. Found it to be sultry, sensitive and comedic. She takes deep subjects and writes her interpretations on paper. Her stories are actually quite good. I received an ARC of Taking the Heat in exchange for an honest review. Veronica allowed others perceptions of her to shape who she became. As an adult she was still trying to prove herself to people who didn't even matter. Gabe is determined to show himself and his family he is more than what they want for him. Perception plays a big part in this story. However what neither realized is that in order to become who you were meant to be, you have to allow your heart to guide you. This is a really awesome story with a beautiful underlying message.
