I loved the wonderfulDiving in Deepby K. A. Mitchell so much that I decided to check out her other work.  HOT TICKET is a short, fun, and surprisingly emotional read by this great author.This is a cute book with great characters.  The beginning is a bit confusing because the author chooses to reveal background info very slowly, but the rest of the book flows smoothly as the pieces begin to fit together.  Elliot is a sweet geeky guy, and Cade is sensitive and smart despite his rebel appearance.  The men have more in common than they think, and they begin a steamy affair.The sex in this book is extremely hot but still tasteful.  The two men have fantastic chemistry, and they seem to understand each other on a deep emotional level.  Despite their very different exterior appearances, they are kindred spirits.The conflict in this book is mostly internal, and is mostly from Cade's end.  He has been burned by bad relationships in the past, so he has trust and commitment issues.  Elliot is much younger and very inexperienced, and Cade can't imagine Elliot wanting to stick around.K. A. Mitchell is very good at character-driven romance.  The tiny bit of external conflict is secondary to the relationship and the romance, and Ms. Mitchell puts a lot of focus on feelings and growth rather than on the external forces that interfere.This is a short book, just under 80 pages.  It will make a wonderful addition to your "Rainy Day" list.
