Hot as Hell
Vivian Wood
Contemporary Romance
From Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestseller Vivian Wood comes a sexy new STANDALONE romance!
To set a fire, you need a spark.
Lily and Cade always had one, but her brother -- Cade’s best friend -- kept the tinder damp. Besides, Cade’s a manwhore. When a man is that hot, someone’s always going to get burned. Lily should have learned her lesson the first time she touched fire, when he left town the morning after they finally hooked up.
Yet all these years later, the ember’s still smoldering.
She's working at the local bakery, in control of the heat... until he walks back into her life. Fresh from the wildfires of Montana, Cade’s lost everything he held dear, and the losses left scars. They soon find that more than ever, they are better together. Their love grows, quick and hot.
Despite what her brother might say, Cade needs what Lily gives him. But there’s no such thing as a controlled burn.
And every secret carries the risk of a backdraft.

Cade put the drink down and gazed into her eyes. She could sense the fire in him, just below the surface. It matched the flames inside her. His eyes traveled to her lips, which heated up below the smoldering gaze.
She couldn’t’ move as he moved closer, brought up his hand and ran a thumb along her cheek. As he cupped the back of her head, her lips parted in anticipation. She already knew what his lips felt like, tasted like. As he kissed her, softly at first, her body responded and it escalated to unprecedented passion.
Lily let out a soft moan and he pulled back. “Lily,” he said quietly. “I’m into you. Don’t mistake that. But … there are so many reasons why we can’t do this. Elijah, and …” Cade let the words trail away while he moved his chair away.
“It’s not all about you all the time,” she blurted out, irritated. “What if I have my reasons for not wanting you?”
“Good for you, then,” Cade said. He stood up and tossed some cash onto the table. “So, we’re agreed, then?”
Vivian likes to write about troubled, deeply flawed alpha males and the fiery, kick-ass women who bring them to their knees.
Vivian's lasting motto in romance is a quote from a favorite song: "Soulmates never die."

***** MY REVIEW*****
Cade and Lily have the
hottest story. Cade is a rake. Cade comes from a troubled childhood
where he was in and out of the system due to parents who were alcoholics
and drug addicts. He considered his true family to be his 2 best friends Elijah
and Aiden, along with their dad and little sister Lily. Cade ends
up becoming a firefighter like his best friend’s father and moved away for
about 3 yrs. Due to a trauma on the job that about broke him, he came back to
work with his best friends.
Lily is grown up and
is working in a French bakery. When she learns that Cade is back, she
realizes she never grew out of her crush on him that she had from childhood. Lily
herself is getting over a breakup and Cade is there for her. They start to
connect and have feelings for each other but suddenly Cade runs from those
feelings which leave Lily feeling like she is hanging by a thread and Cade doesn’t
care. They were passionate and because they acted on those feelings, and Cade
ran from those feelings, Lily is left feelings ashamed and her heart is broken.
Can she open herself back up to her feelings and let Cade back in or will she
just choose to permanently let Cade go, forever?
I enjoyed getting to know
Cade and Lily. Their love story was heartwarming and Cade’s past really was one
that showed how much he had overcome but
he still had a lot to still work on. I found the connection between Cade and
Lily wonderful and I liked the best friend younger sister storyline awesome.
There were some twists in the s tory that had me on the edge of my seat but
everything wrapped up nicely. I look forward to reading what Ms. Wood writes next. She always writes the best
heroes and heroines.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
“I received an advanced
copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
