About this eBook

She has him just where she wants him...

Joelle Sommers is very good at her job as a PI and bail recovery agent, but she’s definitely out of her element when she arrests sexy businessman Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity. Because unlike her usual fugitives, Dean is cooperative, accommodating, and hot as sin . . . and not at all guilty as charged. But this bad boy isn’t so innocent either, and she finds it increasingly hard to resist his seductive charm, and their mutual attraction.

After years of working himself to the point of having no life outside the office, Dean Colter is in the mood for an adventure. But being kidnapped by a gorgeous bounty hunter—one he discovers is into bondage, to boot—isn't exactly what he had in mind. Still, it doesn’t take long for him to realize that being a willing captive has its advantages.

Jo might be the one with the handcuffs, but Dean's about to discover the key to unleashing the passionate, uninhibited woman beneath the tough, stubborn facade. And when he does, all bets are off.

HOT AND SEXY is the first instalment in Erika Wilde’s contemporary, adult SOME LIKE IT SEXY erotic, romance series focusing on the Sommers siblings. This is former police officer turned PI and bail recovery agent Joelle Sommers, and businessman Dean Colter’s story line. NOTE: HOT AND SEXY was originally published as A Wicked Seduction by Janelle Denison. Told from dual third person perspectives (Joelle and Dean) HOT AND SEXY focuses on the building relationship and romance between former police officer turned PI and bail recovery agent Joelle Sommers, and businessman Dean Colter. Joelle Sommers believes she needs to prove herself in a business where the majority of investigators are of the male persuasion. When a new case comes into the firm, Joelle volunteers to bring in the man who jumped his bail for grand theft auto but to Joelle’s surprise the man she takes into custody is unlike any of the bond jumpers she has ever known. Enter businessman Dean Colter, and the man with whom Joelle will fall in love. What ensues is the take down of, and cross-country journey with Dean Colter, and the potential fall-out when Dean and Joelle’s time together comes to an end. Dean Colter had no idea that he was a wanted man. A case of mistaken identity finds our hero locked in a car, then a hotel room with a sexy woman whose issues of control come from years of misogynistic attitudes. Once a cop whose life spiralled out of control, Joelle found herself working with her brothers at Sommers Investigative Specialists, a position where she often found herself under the protection of her two older brothers. Needing to prove she is worthy of the job, Joelle jumps at the opportunity to bring in Dean Colter but finds herself falling in love with a man who is probably innocent of the crime he has been accused. The relationship between Joelle and Dean begins as a take down and arrest for our story line hero. Going along for the ride, Dean, who is supposed to be on vacations, sets his sights on seducing Joelle Sommers but quickly loses his heart to the woman who struggles in a malecentric world. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Joelle’s brothers: Cole and Noah, and their receptionist Melodie Turner, as well as Dean’s mother Anne. Cole and Melodie’s story is next in Hot and Heavy. HOT AND SEXY is a story of family, friendships, acceptance and love. A case of mistaken identity, the quick building lust to love relationship is tempered by the prospect of Dean having to return home, leaving Joelle behind. The premise is captivating; the romance is tender and seductive; the characters are colorful, energetic and impulsive.

Hot and Sexy certainly lives up to its title, a quick and steamy piece of escapism. Joelle and Dean meet under very unusual circumstances, although some would call it fate. Both are struggling with aspects of their lives, holding on to negative emotions from past events and the way in which they think they should be living their lives.

There are plenty of smexy times and witty banter to support the progression of their relationship. However, they both have a things in their lives to deal with before they can pursue a happily ever after. In order to find out what these issues are and whether Joelle and Dean are able to overcome them and find a happily ever after you will have to read Hot and Sexy!!!

I enjoyed reading Jo and Dean’s amazing story in Hot and Sexy by Erika Wilde, book one in her Some Like it Hot Series. Joelle, “Jo” Sommers was a good PI and bail recovery agent, but arresting Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity makes her uneasy. Dean was too cooperative and accommodating, not to mention hot and sexy, and a businessman to boot. Transporting him across states these two discover a mutual attraction that is difficult to resist; especially having off the charts sizzling chemistry. It doesn’t take long for these two to fall for each other, unleashing passion as they get to better know each other. Ms. Wilde wrote a wonderful, sexy story; filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters, giving Jo and Dean a way to be together and get the forever love neither expected to ever find. I definitely recommend Hot and Sexy to other readers and look forward to the next in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
