(More customer reviews)As legendary in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom, Bryce Ryder is every woman's dream. Far and wide, young and old, ladies tune in to watch the sexy chef whip up the most delectable platters on a daily basis. After all, what woman wouldn't want to watch some hunk telling them that food is their friend?
But after a recent news article pins him as anything but Mr. Wonderful, Bryce finds himself in some seriously hot water. With his reputation, restaurant and future business deals at stake, he needs to find a way to fix this catastrophe before he loses everything he's worked so hard to accomplish.
As far as Bryce is concerned there is only one person with the ability to turn this disaster around, and that is his ever dependable childhood friend, Jenna McCabe.
It was supposed to be a meeting to discuss a way out of Bryce's recent predicament, but unfortunately for Jenna, business isn't the only thing on her mind.
For ten years, Jenna has been pining after Bryce. Secretly wishing and wanting for something she knew she would never have. After all, Bryce is way out of her league. Gorgeous, wealthy and forever carting around with him some rail thin model who he happens to be sleeping with.
How could an average country girl compete with that?
Careful planning and strategic execution, that's how.
But, if you take a man on the verge of crisis and toss in a few scheming siblings, soon enough Jenna finds her plans moving full speed ahead. And before she knows it, Jenna's got Bryce right where she's always wanted him. In her bed.
But, as the afterglow of the best sex of her life begin to fade, suddenly Jenna realizes it may have been the biggest mistake of her life. After seeing him suffer through a terrible breakup, Jenna knew Bryce was far from ready for commitment. And Jenna was not prepared to see her heart broken. So instead, she realizes the best course of action would be to keep her distance from him.
He had never seen it coming. Or hadn't he?
For Bryce, Jenna had always held a special place in his heart. Sweet, caring, funny and most of all--real. She had always been the one person Bryce could be himself around. After spending the most passionate night of his life within her arms, he finds himself needing Jenna with a desperation he never knew possible. But instead of waking to find her beside him, he quickly realizes he was on the bad end of a...one night stand?
Confused and with his emotions in an uproar, Bryce concludes he's not about to let her get away that easy.
His persistence pays off. Jenna finally caves in, but she insists that they keep things simple. No emotional attachments. It would be sex. No more, no less. Any man in his right mind would be counting his lucky stars to be offered such a deal. Especially a man like Bryce, who at the moment didn't need any more drama presenting itself.
But soon it becomes apparent that sex was simply not enough, and Bryce finds himself willing to do whatever it takes to break through Jenna's defenses and win the love of the woman who has undeniably stolen his heart.
When I learned one of my favorite historical authors was writing a contemporary romance, I had to read it.
Charlotte Featherstone/Sophie Renwick writes some of BEST dialogue and emotionally packed scenes I've read, and she did not disappoint with Hot In Here. This was a wonderful, sexy read and one that is sure to satisfy your hunger for romance.
