Hot Item by Carly Phillips

The middle Jordan sister, Sophie, loves her perfectly organized life working with major league athletes at The Hot Zone. But when her partner, Spencer Atkins goes into hiding just weeks before the draft and her sisters are busy either with their new baby or husband, Sophie finds her orderly world collapsing around her. Enter Riley Nash. He’s looking for Spencer also, so they decide to join forces. While Sophie finds Riley attractive, she finds spending time with him and his chaotic life driving her nuts. But when she runs away, she finds her life is empty. So will Sophie find it inside herself to cope with Riley’s issues or will she run and hide for the rest of her life.

Another great book from Carly Phillips. I love her voice and the way she blends subtle humor into her stories. This book follows both Hot Stuff and Hot Number, so you might want to read those books first. Unfortunately this is the last book in the set, so I’ll have to wait until next year to see what she comes out with next.

Bottom line: A great book
