So when her rocker best friend hooks her up with a job dancing at a gentlemen's club, who is she to turn it down?

Struggling to finish listening to this book!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would not recommend this book to a friend. The narration is subpar. The voice of the narrator doesn't mesh with the characters.

Would you recommend A Little Too Hot to your friends? Why or why not?

No, I would not recommend this book to my friends. I honestly feel the narrators voice will either make or break a book. In this case, it broke it!! I still have 5 hours left and not sure I can honestly finish listening to the title.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Don't feel this was the right "voice" for the characters.

Best of the three books

Any additional comments?

Ok after listening to all three books, this has been my favourite story. Blake can protect me anyway.

A Thriller Romance -- Who would have thought?

In this third novel, Desrochers takes a unexpected turn and delivers a thriller romance. The progression of these three books in terms of plots are outstanding. Instead of delivering saccharine sweet one after another novel, the series grows. The story in engaging and offers a good amount of tension. She keeps you guessing about the outcome till the end.

I like that way she wound up little pieces of book one and book two in the last novel, like a little dash of nutmeg on the whipped cream of a steaming hot chocolate. Also, the transformation of the main character, Samantha (Sam), is well done. The supporting characters are excellent. I also liked the narration very much.

I give this novel a solid thumbs up and recommend the entire trilogy. I was undecided after the first novel, but the series goes in complexity. Give them a read.

WOZA A little Tooo FABULOUS !!

Any additional comments?

Awesome - I didn't see this book coming.... I hit me at full force and garbed my attention so hard i was spinning... It was thrilling, Hot and just Fabulous !!

Samantha is nothing like I thought she was. From the synopsis, we learn that she's been going in a downward spiral and ends up getting kicked out of school and her families house. She sounded like everything I disliked about her. But upon reading the first few chapters I learned that while she may have gone wild a little bit, she's actually a smart girl that's just a little lost. It's funny because in the first book I looked at Samantha as hitch in the grand scheme to have Trent and Lexie together but I never really thought about how she was affected by that. Trent wasn't just some random fling for her. She had genuine feelings for him, he was the guy she'd been in love with for years.

Harrison Yates...there's not much I can say about him that won't spoil everything. From the moment he walks into the club, he has eyes for only her. But he's also nursing a broken heart. It always worries me when the hero has been in love before, especially when it's so fresh because I can't help but question his feelings for the heroine. At first I kept thinking that she would just be the rebound for him, largely due to the fact that while they did talk his main focus appeared to be in getting in her pants. A lot of crazy stuff happens, moments where I hate him, times when I don't but at the end of the day I just couldn't resist him.

I think the thing that really pulled my attention to this book was the twist. I did not see that coming at all It literally came out of nowhere and left me just as confused as Samantha. Thinking back, there were probably a few hints but I didn't pay as much attention to them thinking it was just my imagination going wild again. Regardless, once the twist comes into effect, that's when the real story starts.... :)
