When Luca Girelli is forced to read a book he never would have picked on his own, he quickly learns that it speaks to a part of him he has been suppressing. Now, he has turned his attention to one woman he feels can give him what he needs...the author.
Elissa Donovan isn't looking for love. If she were, she isn't looking for one of her Alpha's to walk off the pages of one of her erotic novels. Luca Girelli, however, wants more than an autograph.
*Hot Sext was previously released under the Cabin Fever Boxset. It now has an epilogue.
Francesca Penn lives in Texas with her husband and son. While obtaining her Technical Writing degree, a creative writing course and play-writing elective reawakened her desire to create stories. Her brain lives in fiction; even the songs she listens to become music videos in her head.
When she is not writing, she can be found hounding her loved ones with multiple "What-if" scenarios. As a true closet romantic, she is prone to filling up her DVR with Hallmark movies. A friend once told her that she'd trained the whole 20 plus years she'd known her to write romance since her nose was always in a love story.
Francesca believes that love is colorblind and plans to provide a mix of couples of different races and ethnicities because - to her - men are like Skittles, and we all know their motto.
Surprisingly great online / long distance romance.
The blurb really didn’t do this book justice. I initially passed on reading it because it sounded so bland. However, it was such a fun read. I found myself smiling and laughing often.
Finally an author who does “alpha” right. Luca was strong of character, passionate, and devoted. And his sex game, on line or in person, was on point.
I also love that Elissa was not an idiot, homeless, uneducated, unemployed, or weak. She was a renowned author with books on the best seller list. She was beautiful, curvy, and successful.
That book was about the hottest thing I've read. I started reading the free chapters offered on Amazon, and after that, I wanted to see what happens next. So, I spent $2.99 on the Kindle version. I never do that, because I prefer paperbacks. I'll take hardback if paperback isn't available. Neither of those was an option, so I read it on my computer. I took a break here and there throughout the day, but I read every page. It'd been a long time since I spent an entire day just reading a book, but if a book can get me so invested that I opt to read an eBook version when I am strictly a "hard copy" girl, it has to be good. Read it for yourself. I absolutely loved it!
Luca Girelli was dragged to a couples book club by his girlfriend Alicia, but what he thought would be a boring night turned into finding out what he had been missing. Luca became a super fan of author Ella Royal and her works. Author Ella Royal doesn’t know what to think when she accepted the friend request from Luca. What happens between them next not only makes her scenes hotter, but their sheets too.
From my perspective this story is a super fan book boyfriend fantasy.
Ok I so don't do spoilers in my reviews but I will say that this was my first time reading this author and it won't be the last. I loved the passionate, dirty, hot nature of the alpha Italian and the dirty, passionate but cautious nature of the beautiful and sexy black female and the passion that exploded between them that lead to a deep love. Can't go wrong reading this book!!!
Xmas Ohs, was my first book by Francesca Penn, which led me to Hot Sext. I was invested by the first chapter. I loved the way Luca was intrigued by Elissa's book, which caused him to pursue her via Social Media. He slowly but surely got her attention. I love a good book with some spice in it, and this book had plenty. Ms Penn has a way of grabbing your interest and keeping it. I am adding Francesca Penn to my Following List!
Another winner from Ms Penn. I don't know why I am always floored by how complete and fantastic her stories are. I love that Luca saw Ellissa completely. Their courtship was fun because it was serious long foreplay session. Her bestie and the Columbian are funny. Loved the little man and his squeezes. It's the little things that make this love story a great read.
This book makes me want to become a writer just so the one can find me:-) This is a great read. The chemistry between Luca and Elissa is yummy. I like the lack of soap opera drama. And I love Luca's forcefulness. I'm not much into dirty talk, so it was ok. But that was my only dislike.
Loved how they met! The fact that he became a fan initially and then managed to gain her attention, had me in my feels. The directness of his wants and understanding of her needs, was very hot. Luca & Elissa make me wish I could meet someone in a similar manner.
Luca and Elissa were perfectly hot together. I loved how Luca sought her out and totally fell in love. I love alpha stories and the romance and humor were great additions. Well done Francesca!
This book is so freaking good! It has an awesome storyline, great character interaction and hotness that makes you reach for your man. I highly recommend you one clicking this one ASAP!
The storyline was cute and the characters were very well thought out. I think Etie was my favorite. The names or lack for her husband and son was too cute. Who would of ever thought two people get together based on a storyline. This is a must read.
This story was amazing... When they say going for what you want all I see is Luca for sure. Elissa took a chance and meet her soulmate, and Luca got the love he always deserved. Those sex scenes are everything and more I want a Luca 😁😁😁
I love this author anyway. But this book is above and beyond. I really enjoyed the main characters. The sex was hot and the connection was deep. I’m over here like Etié trying to get me a boyfriend while I’m married as can be.
I Need me a Luca! This is the most fun, hot & entertaining romance I've read in a while. Both characters are well developed & attaching. The story flows & keeps you reading way past your bedtime... Can't wait to read more from Ms. Penn!!
I really enjoyed this story. It started up steamy but later developed the characters more than just going at each other. Somethings did seem a little far fetched but I was in the mood for some of the over top ways of Luca. Elissa made me laugh a lot. Bianca and Etie were also super funny
This book is funny, sweet and sexy all at the same time. Love Etie and how she referred to her husband as 'the Colombian' or 'the man' and her son as 'the boy'. Bianca is also a very funny addition to the story. This author never disappoints.
3.5 stars It was funny and endearing. Some plot points were not believable. For instance, Elissa broke the cardinal rule of not uprooting your life and moving out of state/country for a man without the ring first. I’m glad it worked out for her in the story.
Wow my 1st time reading anything from this author and I was blown away. The concept was original and the writing was awesome... Loved Luca and Elissa dynamic, a definite must read...
I could read this a thousand times over. I wish it was 1000 chapters longer, but I don’t because it was perfecto!! Luca is a prize and Elissa is the winner. Just love these two characters. I swear I’m reading this book again tonight!!
