Hot in Here

Freelance journalist Jenny Yuen has a hot assignment, to write about the fire-fighter calendar competition. She sees many hot hunks on the stage, but one made her heart beat a little harder. Scott Jackman, also known as Mr. February, becomes the winner of the competition. Is Scott the man to fulfil Jenny’s wildest dreams? Will he play by her Fantasy Rules? And where will her game lead them to?

Ms. Lyons wrote another fantastic book with HOT IN HERE. Hot is an understatement for this story, it’s so steamy hot that you have to worry that the pages will ignite. Better keep you own fire-fighter near you when you read it. No pun intended.

As in the prequel Champagne Rules, Ms. Lyons main characters come from different cultural backgrounds. The reader learns the difficulties of being a young Chinese woman in the Western world and how difficult it is to build a bridge between their new home and their culture. This reviewer has to congratulate Ms. Lyons about the way she brings this problem into the spotlight and how subtle she interweaves the message “To be more open-minded toward the unknown” into the story. It’s fascinating to see how Jenny fights for her own place in life and in the end for her love. Both Jenny as well as Scott are very complex characters, that are well written. They are the perfect match for each other, it’s a pleasure to see how their casual relationship turns into something serious!

HOT IN HERE will definitely get a special place on this reviewer’s keeper shelves.

This reviewer can hardly wait to read the stories about the last remaining members of the Awesome Foursome! Keep your eyes open for them. You don’t want to miss them.
