Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Hot and Bothered is the third book in the Some Like it Hot series by Erika Wilde. Each book is a stand-alone but all the novels in the series are good, so I would recommend reading them in order. I believe that Noah is the only single Sommers sibling and in this book, it's the time to change that status.
I liked the book, but to be completely honest, I was a little bothered by the whole amnesia plot. Natalie was very adamant about not dating Noah and once the amnesia plot began it, it was like she let loose and suddenly she was on board for everything. Noah tried to dissuade her, but in the end, he gave up and their "faux" relationship began. When I was reading the book, I was liking the flow and everything, but then this was popping up in my mind and I was a little thrown off. It was like he took advantage of a drunken Natalie in my mind and that's why I am going with 4 stars instead of 5.
I would like to see more books in the series, especially Bobby's story!
Excerpt:
Noah lightly grasped her elbow and ushered her toward the parking lot, which was located across the street from Murphy’s. “Come on, I’m walking you to your car, and I’m not taking no for an answer so don’t waste your breath arguing.”
Natalie relaxed and smiled, and they walked by the other storefronts along the street to the intersection.
“You know, we could consider this nice, casual stroll to your car a first date,” he suggested, only half joking. He’d take a date with her any way he could get one.
She thrust her hands deep into her jacket pockets and slanted him a sly look. “Ah, so you do have an ulterior motive other than seeing me safely to my car.”
“A very harmless motive, I swear.” He held up his hands and attempted to look innocent. “We could head over to Starbucks and get a coffee and just talk about the weather if you’d like.”
An incredulous burst of laughter escaped her. “The weather? Are you serious?”
He shrugged and winked at her. “I wouldn’t want our first date to be too personal.”
She chewed on her full bottom lip, looking torn, then said, “Noah, I can’t.”
The light at the intersection was red, and Noah pushed the button to give them the right of way, unwilling to give up on her so easily this time. “Not even one coffee? I promise no hand-holding or kissing.”
That made her smile again, but her next words shot down his hopes. “I’m sorry, but I’ve got a big test on Monday I need to study for.”
“We could have a study date,” he suggested. “There are a few things I’m really good at teaching.”
“I’m not going to touch that one,” she murmured huskily. Hearing someone approach from behind, she glanced over her shoulder briefly, then back at Noah. “You don’t give up, do you?”
Something in her expression had changed in those few seconds, and there was now a troubled glint in her eyes that snagged his attention, but he didn’t understand its source. Wanting to soothe her sudden anxiety, he picked up her hand and drew a lazy pattern on her palm with his index finger. “I’d give up if you told me to get lost and meant it.”
She stared at him, then shook her head, sending her soft dark waves brushing across her shoulders. “You’re way too—”
“Irresistible?” He graced her with one of his enticing grins that never failed to score him extra points with the opposite sex.
The light changed to green, the cars on the street stopped, and they stepped off the curb to cross, severing the contact of their joined hands. “I was thinking more along the lines of persistent.”
He laughed. “Hey, I do have a few faults.”
