    About this audiobook

    Dear Reader,

    If you like hot men, hot action and hot attraction you're going to love this HOT book!

    HOT STUFF introduces Cate Madigan, a Boston native from a large and crazy Irish family. Cate has far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities, like men and marriage. She spends all day in school, earning her teaching degree, and all night working as a bartender in Boston's South End.

    Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate's bar his nightly haunt. He likes Cate's sassy Irish spirit and wild red hair. He also has an ulterior motive for getting close to her. Cate has sworn off all things romantic, but when she comes home to a ransacked apartment, a roommate who has flown the coop, and a sleeping bullmastiff named Beast, Cate has no choice but to ask Kellen for help.

    Can Kate resist the charming Kellen McBride while keeping herself out of danger? Or will Kellen turn up the heat on Cate and everything in her life?

    We know you'll have a blast with HOT STUFF!

      Entertaining and not too complicated. Like the music on this story better than the first Plum story.
    • 4/5
      I don't know anyone that could not instantly fall in love with each of these characters! I loved each of them for different reasons and together they embark on an adventure of their lives with the 'star of the show' being a dog named "Beast"! This was a fun, relaxing, couldn't-put-it-down 'read! Amidst the holiday preparations and the sorrow of the tragedy in Newtown, CT, this was a welcome escape.

      Loved it...similar to Stephanie Plum series. Read all Janet's books and as along as Lorelei King iks performing - sure to please. Get the audio to enjoy it at its best.

      The characters were all fun except for the protagonist and love interest, who were a little too sickly sweet for my tastes. I prefer Evanovich when she writes alone, I must say.

      From the back:
      Cate Madigan isn’t asking for trouble. Her wacky Irish family is constantly palying matchmaker for her with men who leave much to be desired. All she wants is peach and quiet and a nice place to live while she saves her money from tending bar in a lively Boston pub. Okay, so what if her roommate is a cross-dressing lounge singer named Marty Longfellow? In exchange for cheap rent, all she has to do is take care of his plants and collect his mail when he’s out of town. And then ….Marty disappears. At the same time, a bullmastiff named Beast shows up with instructions from Marty to take care of him. Can Cate handle this 120-pound bundle of joy who wants to devour everything in sight? Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate’s bar his nightly hang-out. But is he just there for the beer? Or does he have an ulterior motive for getting close to Cate? When Cate comes home to a ransacked apartment, she realized Kellen knows more htan he’s saying. Problem is, he’s turning up the heat in her life-in more ways than one. Soon Cate finds herself in deep trouble with mysterious stalkers, a lovesick would-be boyfried named Patrick Pugg, two friends who are looking for love, and the very sexy, possibley dangerous Kellen McBride. The south side of Boston has never been wilder…..
      Mine:
      Cate Madigan is leaving in Boston renting a room, so she can live away from her Irish family who are trying to to set her up. The latest set up is Patrick Pugg. “Pugg” follows her around like a lost puppy and refers to himself as “Pugg”.

      Her roommate Marty Longfellow, is a cross-dressing lounge singer who is in trouble. Little does Cate know that the trouble will follow her also. Marty disappears and when trouble come he send a dog “Beast” to help guard Cate. Beast is a big slobbering 120 bull mastiff “Puppy”.

      Enter in Kellen McBride found at the bar the Cate works out. He is actually there to try to recover stolen items from Marty. Kellen quickly falls for Cate. Cate is unsure if Kellen is the right man for her when she finds out that she is there for Marty.

      As always the love connections works and Cate and Kellen fall in love. Marty does have the stolen items, but does get off easy as he tells who was pushing him to do the jobs.

      Woman finds out her transvestite roommate is a jewel thief while falling for the insurance investigator who is assigned to the case.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this book. Not a heavy read by any means, but it has enough mystery to keep it interesting. The characters were likable and the plot entertaining. A good beach read.
