It's Getting Hot in Here

A Novel

De: Jane Costello

Narrado por: Marisa Calin

Hilarious, relatable, and delightfully swoon-worthy, It’s Getting Hot in Here is the laugh-out-loud, coming-of-middle-age, rom-com meets mom-com listeners have been waiting for.

Lisa Darling, a high-powered TV executive and twice-divorced mother of two, is navigating life with an opinionated teenager and a pet-obsessed grade-schooler, organizing PTA events, and supporting her best friend through breast cancer treatment. It’s no wonder her to-do list is on overdrive and she never has time for Pilates or that DIY interior design project.

When LA-based media hotshot Zach Russo swoops in as a stand-in for her best friend’s job, Lisa starts feeling overheated and flustered. She’s convinced her hormone replacement therapy needs some adjusting, until she finds herself in a sexy—and seriously ill-advised—cinch with him. As things snowball, Lisa has to ask herself what she really wants.

It’s Getting Hot in Here is the delightfully swoon-worthy rom-com meets mom-com listeners have been waiting for.
