Beth Bradley is maid of honor in her best friend, Isobel Munoz’s upcoming weekend wedding to Jordan Masterson. The best man Spencer Masterson is the groom’s brother who also happens to be Beth’s ex-boyfriend.  Awkward, for Beth, to say the least.Spencer sets out to deliberately irritate Beth in front of her mother by pointing out her lack of a date for the wedding. To save face, Beth mentions her “imaginary” boyfriend “Charlie” would have been there but had to work, again. Spencer reminds her that it’s been 6 months since their breakup and no one has yet to meet the elusive Charlie.  Annoyed and frustrated, she walks out into the hotel’s parking lot to get away from Spencer’s snide remarks or before another verbal onslaught of her mother’s constant disapproval.As it turns out, Spencer isn’t going to be her only problem. The handsome guy she had literally run into in the stairwell on her way down to the lobby to meet her mother has broken into Spencer’s car and she thinks that she’s caught the would be car thief in the act. He lamely explains to Beth he thought it was his car since his was supposedly identical. Yeah right, Beth doesn’t believe him for a second since Spencer’s car is a bright “arrest me red” BMW with vanity plates that say “Too Hot”.  In exchange for not ratting him out to the hotel security or the police, she asks him to walk back into the hotel with her, pretending he’s “Charlie” just long enough to meet her mother and Spencer. Once introduced, he’s supposed to make excuses that pressing work related business is keeping him from attending the wedding with her then leave.Her “pretend” instant boyfriend is more than he appears on the surface.  Isobel’s wedding is actually why he’s there at the hotel, [Spoiler Alert: undercover], and he isn’t going anywhere.Cleverly written this complete novel (and not a cliffhanger in sight, thank goodness!) really is “Too HOT”. It’s funny one minute and full of action the next. The sex is hot and steamy too as well as the suspense that will keep you “on the edge of your Kindle” and not wanting to put it down. Adrienne Bell is an excellent author I intend to read, again and again.
