Hot Stuff

Hot Stuff and a Big Beast what a pair.

This book was great reading. Love the mystery of it but most of all it had me laughing. I have been reading all of Janet's books and there is none that I didn not like. Some of the language is a little rough. Overall it was a great book.

Hot Stuff, an "in-between" book.

I enjoyed this book, not as much as the Stephanie Plum books, but it was good. The family trying to fix her up all the time, with losers, was very funny. She works for a place bartending, lives with a cross dresser, and when "she" disappears, has to take care of Beast, who is at least 150 pound dog, all baby. It gets nasty when the police start looking for her roommate, then things start to pop. Good book.

Simply Cute

Sure, there were a lot of similarities between this book and the Plum series, but who cares? Janet is a great, creative author, and Hot Stuff is funny, cute, and an easy read. Irish bartender Cate Madigan gets tangled in her cross-dressing roommates problems. In the meantime, she meets the mysterious, sexy, and possibly good guy, Kellen McBride. Falling in love in a few days isn¿t the most believable, but it¿s still a good little book. Anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable book should read Hot Stuff.

Highly Recommended

great book, very enjoyable

Chic Lit at it's best!

Janet Evanovich has the uncanny knack of making her characters so lovable that you are rooting for them from the beginning to the end of the story. Even their flaws are endearing. Evanovich can weave a story that is depicted so well that you feel as if you are there. And you are never ready for the story to end-I always turn all the pages looking for more.

Great fun

I just finished Hot Stuff by Janet Evanovich the other day and I loved it. So funny and sweet, with a mix of action, danger and bad dates who talk in the 3rd person. Poor Cate is having a hard time fielding oddballs from her family's misplaced but well meaning attempts to find her 'The One', but she's got a pretty good life. She's bartending and sharing a room with a popular singing drag queen ala Marylin named Marty. Rent is cheap, she can take her classes, what more can a girl want?

Enter Kellan, dark, mysterious and he seems to be determined to win a date with her. Then Marty disappears, a puppy the size of a pony shows up along with a note that he's to be protection. Just what is going on? Kellan kicks up his efforts and in the fashion of all good stories, all heck breaks lose. Is anyone who they appear to be? Can Cate and Kellan live long enough to get to a real date? Couldn't put it down, a rollercoaster of fun. Great read.

Great

This book is a great little book, easy reading, funny very enjoyable. Couldn't put it down till I finished it.

Great Read!!

I loved this book! It was an easy read...a cute romance story and good mystery all in one! I would highly recommend it! Another great novel from Janet Evanovich.

There was a plot?

I can't believe Evanovich had anything to do with this book. I have read all her Stephanie Plum books and have loved them all. There were no interesting characters, no suspense, no laughs, and so predictable. This book's problem and solution seemed to wrap up in the same paragraph. I never read any other books by Banks, and if they're like this, I never will.

Not Pugg, but UGG!

Can I get my money back? I've read all the Plum books and quite a few of Ms. Banks's romances and I was looking forward to a great melding of the two authors' styles. Not so. This was all Evanovich and NOWHERE did I see anything that looked like Banks contributed to the book. The plot was insipid, the characters insufferable, the writing simplistic. This was a total bomb all the way around and a complete waste of one afternoon of my long weekend vacation. I won't be buying any more collaborative work by these two.

Finished in 4 hours

Great book. I found myself laughing out loud. Once again, Evanovich and Banks do not disappoint.

a reviewer

With some authors you start feeling like you are reading the same thing over and over again. Not so with Janet Evanovich. I buy all her books the minute they come out and every one is a delight. I like her writing so much because there is a little of everything in her books. This is a really fun story that any lover of mystery or romance will definitely enjoy.

FUN-TYPE BOOK

If you're looking for something light, fun and quick reading...this is the one. This writing team does a great job on 'Hot Stuff.' Pick it up and take it to the beach, pool or the lake -- enjoy!!

Starts off slow but...

This book starts off slow, but it's really good! It was so good, that I read it in one day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Plum awful

I picked up this book because I'm a fan of both Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books and Leanne Banks's romances. I'm glad I read the first two chapters in the bookstore and put it back on the shelf. It's a disappointment. Nowhere did I see any trace of Leanne Banks in the book and the plot and characters were boring and dull. Basically they've taken a Plum plot and re-worked it into something that well... doesn't work. Cate is TSTL. Pugg is annoying. And Kellen... I didn't get far enough into it to come to any conclusions about him. This one gets a thumbs down from me.
