Their emotional arc was in overcoming this. The story that you tell about them – young, hormonal and immature was well conveyed to me. Sam is a forest firefighter, a “hotshot”. He’s so connected to her that when he is told she was in a car accident in Colorado, he immediately flies (from the Lake Tahoe area) to be by her side. Dianna, for reasons revealed later, leaves Sam at the tender age of 20 and Sam has never, ever gotten over it. Sam and Dianna were the epitome of young love (or at least that is the set up that you want us to buy initially). Accuracy, authenticity take second fiddle to the emotional arcs of the characters. The story is paramount and little details don’t matter so long as the story proceeds in the fashion that you want. While Hot as Sin is readable, it suffers from the same problem as the football book. I was hoping that this would be different. I admit that the one and only book I read by you was one about football and I had a fairly negative reaction to it given that so little of the football aspect was portrayed with accuracy.
