Hot and Bothered
On the dusty outskirts of Vegas, there’s a down and dirty saloon where all sorts of lethally charming—and genuinely dangerous—men carouse to seduce the women who happen to venture inside on their way to and from Sin City.
Despite the many women he’s bedded over the years, Gideon Lane has never been able to get Rochelle Burton completely out of his head. He certainly never expected to see the city girl again, now a successful author, all grown up in all the right places and asking for his protection.
After their disastrous night together, Rochelle was determined to put Gideon—and the things he made her want—far behind her. But when an obsessive fan expresses their anger over her latest book in a disturbing way, Rochelle’s overprotective cousins insist she hire the best bodyguard the Rough & Tumble saloon can offer.
Both Rochelle and Gideon intend to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when the threat to Rochelle puts them in close quarters, Gideon can’t help wanting the chance to prove that some things are better the second time around…

| I received a digital copy in exchange for an honest review from Berkley. Hot and Bothered is a good reunion story with a lot of fill me in moments for those that are jumping in half way through the series so that new readers won't be too lost in case they're just stepping in. Rochelle and Gideon are a decent pair but I felt there could have been more of a connection with all the angst the author created for them. Still it was a decent story and I enjoyed reading it. |
