About this ebook

Book One of The Lawson Brothers, a sexy new contemporary romance series from New York Times Bestselling Author, Marquita Valentine.

 
Bank Teller and all around good girl, Sydney McKnight, is tired of being the girl all the guys want to have as a friend. Who better to help unleash her inner vixen than her best friend and secret crush, Brody Lawson? Only, Sydney has no idea how to ask him, without their friendship going up in flames, until that is, the town of Jessamine's annual Firemen's Auction gives her the perfect excuse to set her plan into motion.

Fire Captain Brody Lawson has been in love with his best friend, Sydney, for years, but he would never risk their friendship by confessing his feelings to her. So, when Sydney beats out the competition to buy his time at the annual Firemen's Auction, Brody can hardly believe his luck until she asks him to teach her how to seduce a fellow fireman.

Now, it’s up to Brody to show Sydney how perfect she already is and convince her that the only man for her is him, because if Sydney is going to seduce any man, it’s going to be him. And once he has her in his bed, he’s not letting her go.

Ratings and reviews

What happens when best friends become lovers? Will they last and remain friends or will it tear them apart? Love So Hot is the story of Sydney and Brody and what happens to get them to the lover stage. No spoilers, so grab your copy and see what happens. I love that there are eight Lawson brothers and we’ll get to read each of their stories. I can’t wait to start the next book.

When things heated up between these two… Well, I’m a bit surprised my Kindle didn’t melt. Brody pulls out all the stops to get Sydney all hot and bothered, and she doesn’t back down one bit. It felt a little bold and maybe too fast to me at a couple of moments in the story, but then again, these two were secretly pining for each other, so perhaps I shouldn’t have been too surprised how quickly things led to the bedroom. In any case, Love So Hot is a quick, fun read that lives up to its name, and I’ll definitely be looking for the next book in the series. ***FicCentral received this book from Wordsmith Publicity for free in exchange for an honest review.

Gross. Why would you want to be friends with your crush's ex-girlfriend? Why would you want to take advice from her on how to seduce him? Once she's done with him, Cherry basically hands Brody over to Sydney - as if passing along some used toys. (Cherry: "So, when I was ready to give him up, that's when I started pushing him your way.")
