If you play with fire…

Tossed out of college and cut off by her parents, Samantha West is in pretty dire straits. So when her rocker best friend hooks her up with a job dancing at a gentlemen’s club, who is she to turn it down? Plus, there are rules to dancing at Benny’s: No touching, keep your clothes on at all times, and never get closer than three feet. Unfortunately for Sam, her first private client makes her want to break every single one of them.

Harrison Yates is scorching hot, but he’s got a past that involves being left at the altar not too long ago. Sam is determined to make him forget about his ex, but when she makes her move, it flings her life into a spiral of chaos she never saw coming.

Because Harrison Yates isn’t who he seems to be. And his secret will probably get her killed.

I wasn’t sure it was possible but A Little Too Hot is my new favorite book in the A Little Too Far series. Sam and Harrison’s story is by far the steamiest yet and I was hooked from the first page.

Sam was not even close to my favorite character in A Little Too Far. I really didn’t feel much of anything for her. Sure, I felt bad when things went down with Trent and Lexie but I didn’t care enough about her to really want to know more about what happened to her after all of that. That all changed once I started reading A Little Too Hot. She seemed a little whiny at first but she quickly grew on me. She was very easy to relate to and I couldn’t help but like her. Things got even better when Harrison entered the picture. He and Sam had some serious chemistry and I was rooting for them from the very first time they met.

The story in A Little Too Hot was the most fast-paced and intense of the series. I had no clue what the book was about when I started it but I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t want to give anything away but the story is really suspenseful and there are some seriously high stakes this time around. Sam and Harrison don’t just have to deal with the complications of their relationship; they also have to deal with some life and death situations. It was intense and by the end of the book I had bitten my nails down to the cuticles.

The romance was scorching, just like I’ve come to expect from Lisa Desrochers. Sam and Harrison had a sort of forbidden romance but that didn’t really slow things down for them. Really it just made things even hotter. The best thing about Sam and Harrison’s relationship though was that they could keep things going even when they weren’t hooking up. They were able to carry a conversation and do things that didn’t involve sex. Their relationship developed almost naturally even in their difficult situation.

Overall, A Little Too Hot was a fabulous ending to the A Little Too Far trilogy and I loved the cameos from the previous two books. If you haven’t started this trilogy yet, get on it!
