Review for Hot and Bothered by Kelsey Lewis

I had the pleasure of reading Kelsey Lewis' anthology entitled Hot and Bothered. Here is my review:

Hot and Bothered
By Kelsey Lewis
Publisher: Amber Quill Press
ISBN: 10: 1-59279-702-4
ISBN: 13: 978-1-59279-702-8

Hot and Bothered is an anthology that contains three of Kelsey’s stories, Reunion, Desirable Enemy, and Cooking with K.C.

Reunion is about a couple that met when they were younger but life and situations sent them their separate ways. Now, years later, their children are getting married to one another, and Sam and Allie are brought back together to wrap up and attend their children’s wedding. The sexual tension between them comes to a head which puts the two of them into hilarious situations which seem destined to keep them apart. Kelsey tells a wonderful story with this one.

Desirable Enemy takes place on another planet. Two enemies come together, one driven by her desire to heal, and the other, a prince, looking for answers and wanting to end the violence between the Ajindas and the Nor’euros. But someone will stop at nothing to be certain that doesn’t happen. Excellent story! Kelsey kept me on the edge of my seat wondering just why and who would do anything to stop Linnea and Rajan from succeeding. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of this world.

In Cooking with K.C., Kelsey offers some hot advice on what happens when a younger bad boy wants an older woman who seems resistant to his charms? How will he use K.C.’s catering against her to show how good it can be between them? Kelsey has a definite winner here with this story about what a man won’t do ultimately to get his hands on the woman next door. Extremely enjoyable.

Kelsey writes three very compelling, sensual romances in which the heros and heroines must overcome the odds dealt them. I would definitely recommend reading Kelsey Lewis. She is a very enjoyable read, and I look forward to reading more from her.
