Hot and Bothered by Kate MeaderJules Kilroy and Tad DeLuca have been friends and support for each other since Jules moved to Chicago to be near her brother. They haven't crossed that line of friendship. Now Jules is planning to start dating and Tad is not happy. She fantasizes about him but doesn't want to complicate their relationship. He hadn't been with another woman for almost a year because Jules is always on his mind. How can these two get past the stumbling blocks of friendship and move into passion without getting hurt in the process?Reading the beginning of this story, you fell the tension between Jules and Tad and it's delicious. And you learn that the rest of the family has been watching these two dance around each other and you want to lock them in a room together and say "just do it".Third in a series but total standalone.Warning: the author currently lives in the States but was born in Ireland and uses a lot of British slang. Maybe because the heroine is from England? I had to get my dictionary out several times. Strop = temper tantrum. Squiffy = slightly drunk.Surprising humor occasionally such as "Tad like to think he wasn't scared of anything but he was fairly sure that if he found himself walking down an alley late one night and Derry Jones was coming his way, he might find the side of a Dumpster mesmerizing."Fun, romantic, and happily ever after.I received a copy of this book via NetGallery.
