*I received this book free from NetGalley on behalf of Forever (Grand Central Publishing) in exchange for an honest review*Hot and Bothered starts with Jules in the labor room with her best friend Tad by her side. I must say that everything Jules was feeling and saying had me laughing so hard. I was in love with the way that Tad was handling the situation that he was in.Jules Kilroy left London after a very heartbreaking relationship that ended with her being pregnant. She has transitioned into the lifestyle of being a mom with the help of her brother and the DeLuca family, but now she’s ready to move forward in her life and decides she is ready to start dating again. Not only does her brother Jack not like this idea but this will turn Tad upside down.Tad DeLuca has been best friends with Jules since she arrived in town. Tad loves to have women falling at his feet. When he gets bored with one he will move onto the next. One night when Jules decides to make a move and kiss him, he rejects her. Tad feels that Jules deserves the best and he is not capable of providing what she needs. However, this one night will change Tad forever.The chemistry between two best friends that try to deny the fact that they are in love with each other will have you cheering for them and yelling at them at the same time. When Jules and Tad decide they need to scratch an itch both jump on board. However they are left with facing their feelings for each other. It does not help that the family has been waiting for them to get together, excluding her brother Jack. No one is good enough for his sister.Overall I loved this book. I think every woman should have a best friend like Tad.My Favorite Moments: I love how Jules and Tad can talk to each other and not take offense to it. My all-time favorite is how they answer the phone when they call each other.
