Customer Reviews

Loved this book

I loved this book and am looking forward to finishing the other books in the series.

Great story

I love this whole series! I read all three boks within 2 weeks, I couldn't put them down. The story is predictable but entertaining all the same.

"Hot Stuff"

I LOVE Carly Phillips, and "Hot Stuff" certianly delivers. It has all of the elements of a great contemporary romance. "Hot Stuff" is a smart, sexy read, with engaging characters that you truly care about (including the background characters). Love the fact that there's a bit of intrigue in this one as well (for the mystery lover in all of us). Looking forward to reading about ALL of the strong, yet quirky, Jordan women! Don't forget to pick up a copy of "Hot Number"!

Hot Stuff

The book Hot Stuff has a few twists and turns throughout the reading. Three orphaned sisters left behind by their parents' death are sent to be taken care of by their uncle Yank Morgan. Uncle Yank, not having any experience with kids, has no idea what to do with the three lovely little girls, so he trains them to help him with his job in Manhattan as sports agents. Annabelle, the oldest of the three, has a problem with her clients. She is attracted to the bad boys and tends to never get anything done. After her last boyfriend dumped her, she meets her newest client, and ex-football star Brandon Vaughn. She doesn't think anything of it, but she seems to find out that he isn't like any other man. Brandon is in the middle of building a lodge for kids with learning disabilities, when he finds out someone is trying to destroy it. He needs help, fast! This is when Annabelle runs in for the tackle, and scores a touchdown. If you like romance, you'll love this book, and won't be able to put it down.

An Awesome Book

Carly Phillip's Hot Stuff is a funny, sexy and emotional book. Annabelle Jordan has always felt she had to keep her sisters together after their parents sudden death. Their Uncle Yank took in Annabelle and her sisters as children. Now they are all adults and working at Yanks PR/Sports Agency. Annabelle has been assigned their newest client former football star Brandon Vaughn. Brandon Vaughn's playing days are over. He is going to open a lodge for winter guest and then a summer camp for disadvantaged kids. But his dream is under fire from on site problems and delays. He needs some good PR to help. He really wants to help kids since he didn't get the support he needed growing up. Annabelle goes to Brandon's hometown to give the project her special hands on tough. The project isn't the only thing getting that special touch. Brandon and Annabelle's chemistry is potent, it literally jumps off the page and grabs you. What starts out as an intense sexual attraction end up being so much more. I can't wait for the next sister's story.

terrific contemporary sports romance

When their parents died in a plane crash in the Andes, the three preadolescent Jordan sisters (Annabelle, Sophie, and Michelle) moved in with their only living relative, Uncle Yank Morgan, who had spent an hour every few months with his nieces. The world of the girls changed from dresses and panties with bows to that of used jock straps, semi-naked athletes, and gambling as Uncle Yank is a sports lawyer. Though seemingly a misfit, the female trio raises their uncle to the best of their ability. Years later the three little orphans work as publicists in their uncle's business, The Hot Zone though along with his assistant the women run the firm in spite Yank's Judge Judy gavel. The oldest Annabelle was and still is the frilliest of the threesome. She finds herself attracted to client former football great, businessman Brandon Vaughn. He feels the same way though she avoids his passes. Soon, Annabelle realizes that Brandon has intercepted her heart, but fears the heartbreak of a bachelor who would simply prefer a touchback than a touchdown so she tries to hide her feelings and her still frilly panties from the hunk. Brandon sees time running out with no timeouts left, so he tries a Hail Mary pass to catch Annabelle in a permanent relationship The first contemporary sports romance in the Hot Zone trilogy is a terrific tale due to a delightful lead couple, who may seem like opposites, but have more in common besides love. The secondary characters add depth from the moment the three little ones move in to live with their "slob" of an uncle. Carly Phillips' opening period is a Superbowl victory for readers.
