Hot Stuff

By: Janet Evanovich, Leanne Banks

Narrated by: Lorelei King

Cate Madigan, an Irish bartender in Boston, finds herself caught in a pulse-pounding, romance with ex-cop Kellen McBride, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich brimming with the same irresistible charm as the beloved Stephanie Plum series!

Hot Stuff introduces Cate Madigan, a Boston native from a large and crazy Irish family. Cate has far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities, like men and marriage. She spends all day in school, earning her teaching degree, and all night working as a bartender in Boston’s South End.

Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate’s bar his nightly haunt. He likes Cate’s sassy Irish spirit and wild red hair. He also has an ulterior motive for getting close to her. Cate has sworn off all things romantic, but when she comes home to a ransacked apartment, a roommate who has flown the coop, and a sleeping bullmastiff named Beast, Cate has no choice but to ask Kellen for help.

Can Kate resist the charming Kellen McBride while keeping herself out of danger? Or will Kellen turn up the heat on Cate and everything in her life?

I love when Lorelei King does the narrator’s voices. And I love, love Janet Evanovich’s books.

There was nothing I disliked about this book. There were a lot of talented people who worked hard on this book.

Great Fun Listen

Was just what I needed. Funny light and overall entertaining! Great narration, all characters were unique.

Hot Stuff

Enjoyable, but slow and never got exciting. characters and dialog were very similar to Plum novels.

Like a Stephanie Plum book in spirit

I just loved this story! Lorelei King narrates and the voices are very similar to Stephanie Plum characters. The main male character sounds just like Joe Morelli (which is definitely NOT a problem). And it is all more New Jersey than Boston accents. But it doesn’t matter. The characters are new and different and I hope there will be more books coming out about them. But I thoroughly enjoyed the story and finished it in one sitting! Wonderful ending!!!

Fun mystery

Enjoyed the characters personality’s and the minor mystery development with some romance that did not have get trashy. Nice departure from the Stephanie Plum series. However, as much as I love this narrator I’d encourage a change with stories of similar type like this was as her voices and inflection of different characters naturally sound exactly like the other books.
