Too Hot to Handle by Tessa Bailey
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hook, Line, & Sinker comes “a sparkling rom-com that will have readers hooked.” ( Publishers Weekly )
The road trip was definitely a bad idea. Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted car and her three temperamental siblings, who she hasn’t seen in years. When rescue shows up—six-feet-plus of charming hotness on a motorcycle—Rita’s pretty certain she’s gone from the frying pan right into the fire . . .
Jasper Ellis has a bad boy reputation in this town, and he loathes it. The moment he sees Rita, though, Jasper knows he’s about to be sorely tempted. There’s something real between them. Something raw . And Jasper has only a few days to show Rita that he isn’t just for tonight—he’s forever.
“One of my all-time favorite authors!” — Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game
This one wasn’t a hit for me. It’s just not my type of romance.
I think I’d honestly like to see the book with just the family and no sex. I didn’t like Jasper. I know I was supposed to, but I didn’t like the bossing around and small amounts of pain. It’s not like he talked to Rita about it. He just started with the orders. Not my thing as I’m not submissive in anything in life. I did like Rita. I hated how bad her self esteem was. The rural New Mexico setting (starting in San Diego) was perfect as I’ll be going there this fall. Not that town, but all over New Mexico. Jasper’s grandma was great. But I really just liked the family and how this trip made them speak to each other.
I gave this book 3 1/2 stars. I’m still debating on reading more from the series. I do have book two already.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
