*What Mary Thought*Brooke Ambrose’s life is looking up.  She left her loser boyfriend, moved in with her best friend, and is heading out for an all-expenses paid vacation.  All she has to do during her week at the beach is make sure Logan “Phoenix” Taylor, professional hockey bad boy, doesn’t spend the whole time moping.  Logan’s had a rough year.  His wife left him for another woman and now he’s off the ice, suspended for a week after a fight. Logan isn’t happy about this forced vacation and even less thrilled when he finds out he has to share the beach villa with Brooke.  Still, sparks start flying immediately, and these two opposites definitely attract.This book has some of the steamiest sex scenes I’ve ever read.  It seriously left me squirming.  Even though the reading was hot and heavy, it still wasn’t one of my favorites.  I wanted there to be more romance and more conflict.  Maybe it’s because I know nothing about hockey. (I did love learning new words like rink bunny.)  Maybe it’s because I finished reading this during the Olympic semifinal match between Canada and the U.S., and everyone else around me was hockey crazy.  The bottom line is this—Hot Ice: Hired is an excellent read if you want something steamy.  If you are looking for a little more story to go with the steam, I’d try something else.
