Review: So Hot
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2014
Rating: 3.5/5 - But it's more of a 4 star than 3 star read since Goodreads doesn't have half stars.Playing the part was a hot, fun ride, that while a tad predictable, kept me hooked until the final page. The chemistry between Mick and Piper was smoking hot and Mick was definitely a delectable piece of alpha male, but it was Piper that really hooked me. Despite her past, Piper was 100% comfortable with and in control of her sexuality. It was so refreshing to see a woman take charge and make the rules, especially when more often than not, women are portrayed as unsure and shy when it comes to sex. My favorite part of the book is the first sexual encounter between Piper and Mick. She had been trying to fend him off because she didn’t want to get involved with another actor, but when she realizes she can have fun with him. Piper not only instigates the encounter, but when he tries to take things inside she says no and they end up getting busy in his tiny sports car in a secluded, yet still public spot.While Mick was hot and charming, I wasn’t as in to him as I was Piper. He felt very familiar and typical. I wasn’t surprised by Mick at all. The drama was also very familiar and predictable. I knew who was behind everything and how certain scenes were going to end, but I have to say that the grand gesture that Mick makes to apologize to Piper was pretty great. The side characters (her friend/agent and Mick’s friend, agent and manager) were alright. I didn’t really care too much about any of them except for Mick’s friend Lincoln. I think he could make for an interesting story somewhere.This was my first time reading something by Robin Covington and I think I will definitely come back for me. The sex scenes were ridiculously steamy in this book and if this is the norm for her, then she definitely has a new fan in me.Arc provided via Netgalley for an honest review.
