"THE HOT ZONE"

Working as a publicist for her Uncle Yank's firm The Hot Zone, Annabelle Jordan has met her share of hunky athletes. After her last breakup, Annabelle swore that she was giving up on the pretty boy athletes, but her plans go up in smoke when she meets the hot, hunky ex-football player Brandon Vaughn.

Brandon's dream of owning and running a lodge are becoming less and less of a reality as it seems someone is trying to stop the lodge from opening up. Brandon needs Annabelle's help in turning around all the bad publicity the lodge has been receiving.

Brandon and Annabelle fight the attraction they feel from the time they first met, but will their insecurities get in the way of them admitting that the only future they have is together?

HOT STUFF by Carly Phillips is the first in a new trilogy featuring three sisters and their Uncle Yank. Yank took the girls in when their parents died when they were children and even though he loved them, Annabelle never forgot the insecurity of those days when she was afraid her and her sisters Sophie and Micki would be separated. Brandon, even though he acheived success on the football field, he was always found to be lacking by his parents.

I could not put HOT STUFF down, from the minute I started until I went to bed at 2am. Not only will you love Brandon and Annabelle, but also the cast of secondary characters including Annabelle's sisters, Yank and Lola the woman who helped Yank raise the girls when they came to live with him.

I think that HOT STUFF definitely should be put on your must buy list.

Summary

Annabelle Jordan and her two sisters were little orphans in frilly dresses and ruffled panties when they went to live with their sports-lawyer uncle in his testosterone- fuelled world of locker rooms, bookies and gambling.

Now the girls are all grown up, and publicists in their uncle's firm, The Hot Zone. Yet Annabelle is all woman, despite her upbringing. And she's naturally drawn to real men—like her latest client, ex-football legend and businessman Brandon Vaughn.

The chemistry is potent, undeniable...irresistible. But Annabelle soon realizes that Brandon is much more than just another jock. And that she'd better hold onto her panties if she doesn't want to lose her heart...
