The town librarian, Turner Hastings, also work part-time at the bank. On a saturday, while she's working, Yoda and SpongeBob SquarePants show up and do a hold-up. They're not so good at it, to tell you the truth ;p It's the perfect opportunity for our heroine to search the vault. As you can probably guess, since we're in a romance novel, it's not the story of a woman who goes crazy and rob a bank. Turner is not after money. She wants the evidence to exonerated her uncle, even if it's too late for him to benefit from it. But what if the proof is harder to find ? Chasing after her is FBI Special Agent John MacKinnon, a sexy fourty-year-old, who have to team up with a guy who gets on his nerves. For John, it's lust at first sight through the surveillance camera and love at first sight even before he meet his fugitive. An unexplicable attraction that doesn't make any sense that will lead to phone conversations filled with flirt and foreplays, and why not a little dirty talk ;p One thing's for sure, you won't ask yourself why it's called Hot !
I borrowed this book from the library a few years ago and I remember being pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. Afterwards, I would learn that Julia Harper is an other name for the author Elizabeth Hoyt, who's known for her historical romances. I think this book would make a pretty great movie. It's fast-paced, sexy and on the comedic side. It's a little bit absurd (so you can expect some implausibilities) but I thought it was done in a charming and witty way. Personally, I think the two idiots POV was unnecessary, but they weren't there that often anyway. I'm not always happy with insta-lust/love but in this story, it was also part of the appeal; this strong fascination that no one can explain.
If funny and sensual is what you're searching for, try this book :)
