He's about to find out ... she's not just one of the guys.
Annabelle Jordan and her two sisters were orphans in frilly dresses when they went to live with their sports-lawyer uncle in his world of locker rooms, bookies, and gambling. Now the girls are publicists in their uncle's firm, the Hot Zone.
Despite her upbringing, Annabelle is all woman. She's naturally drawn to real men--like her latest client, businessman and former football legend Brandon Vaughn.
The chemistry is potent, undeniable, irresistible. Annabelle soon realizes that Brandon is much more than just another jock. And that she'd better hold on tight if she doesn't want to lose her heart.
Hot Number
Micki Jordan is a tomboy as much at home on the playing field as in a locker room full of naked guys.
But the star publicist is looking to prove she's also an irresistible woman in order to get a second shot at professional baseball player and major league playboy, Damian Fuller.
Micki transforms herself into one hot number Damian can't help but notice, and together they burn up the sheets and find themselves falling hard. Until Damian's past returns, threatening their future.
Hot Item
He'll push all her boundaries and make her realize rules are made to be broken.
Cool, collected Sophie Jordan loves her daily routine running her family's top sports management agency, as long as she gets to stay behind the scenes. But with big sister on maternity leave and little sis on her honeymoon, she's forced to step up to the plate. And a recent media crisis surrounding the disappearance of superagent Spenser Atkins is not going to make the job any easier.
Enter star quarterback and notorious bad boy Riley Nash who, for reasons of his own, needs to track down Atkins. Up until now, Sophie has kept a strict no-dating-clients policy, but each day with Riley makes her rule near impossible to follow. With her job and her heart on the line, Sophie will need to make the toughest choice of her life!
Hot Property
Just one short season ago, major league center fielder John Roper had it all: the looks--and personal life--of a sports hero and the public's adoration. But this hot property's lucky streak has run out. After a World Series disaster, fans diss him, shock jocks mock him, and his dysfunctional family hassles him for money he really can't spare.
Now it's up to him, and Hot Zone publicist Amy Stone, to get his life back on track.
Amy finds it's easier said than done. What with the constant intrusions of his nutty family, a crazed fan playing stalker, and Roper's refusal to put his own needs first, she's starting to think that life in the fast lane isn't all it's cracked up to be. But when the two retreat to a secluded lodge, the sexy center fielder throws Amy a curveball--one she never saw coming ...

This boxed set has it all. Laughter, sadness, HOT men. These books could be stand alone. But if you want to read all 3, read them in order because Carly mentions just enough of the previous books to spoil them if you haven't read them. 3 sisters are PR agents to some hot athletes, who have personal problems that interfere with their games. There are older ladies who don't act their age, over the hill movie stars, conflict between couples and a Lab/poodle mix who flunked dog school.

Absolutely a fabulous read!! So glad that this was released as a box set. This set included four separate stories all without cliffhangers and all with happily ever afters. The storylines were solid and the characters were fabulous. The Jordan sisters and their husbands made you fall in love with them and had you cheering them on. The chemistry between the couples was off the charts. I would highly recommend this read, you won't be disappointed!!

Hot Stuff
This is the first book in the Hot Zone Series. This is Annabelle's story. Annabelle and her two sisters lost their parents in a tragic accident when they were young and Uncle Yank became their guardian. Uncle Yank owns the Hot Zone representing many athletes and all three girls work for him.
When Uncle Yank needed someone to help Brandon Vaughn with his image, Annabelle is the one he assigns to help. Both Annabelle and Brandon have baggage, but when they meet, they have unbelievable chemistry. Since losing her parents, Annabelle has serious trust issues. Will she be able to put them aside and give Brandon a chance to prove he is worth taking a chance on, or are her insecurities too much to overcome.
Carly Phillips is a talented writer whose stories grab you on page one and keep you invested until the end. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.
Hot Number
Hot Number is the second book in the Hot Zone series. Micki Jordan, the youngest of the three Jordan sisters has always been one of the guys. That is until one day when she has had enough of Damian Fuller, her heart throb, noticing every pretty woman, but her. With her sister Sophie's help, she sets out to completely re-make her image to get Damian's attention, a man she kissed one New Year's Eve and has wanted ever since.
My favorite book in the series so far. It's witty, funny, sexy and so down to earth that every woman can relate to it.
Hot Item
This is the third book of the Hot Zone series by Carly Phillips. It is also a re-release and some of Carly Phillips' early writing.
When Spencer goes missing after a secret from his past becomes public, Riley Nash a quarterback and Spencer's son from a previous marriage, teams up with Sophie to find him. Riley Nash has always enjoyed flirting with Sophie at the agency, and feels comfortable with her because she is so different from his normal type. Sophie has a hard and fast rule, no dating clients. When they start working together, there is a mutual attraction between them and if Uncle Yank has anything to say about it, they will act on it. Will they be able to keep it strictly business, or will sparks fly?
I really love Carly's writing style. This series is light, fun and sexy. All of her characters are well developed and totally relatable. I can't wait to read the fourth book.
Hot Property
Hot Property is the fourth and final book in the Hot Zone Series. All four books can be read as stand alones. This series was previously released.
Amy is in need of a new start and a change of scenery. After years of taking care of her mom and her aunt and keeping them out of trouble, she makes a career change and moves to New York and gets a job at the Hot Zone.
Amy is assigned a client named John Roper, a professional baseball player that is in a slump who has a family that demands so much from him he can not properly rehab his injury. Amy's job is to organize him and help him get back on track both publicly and personally. She is up to the challenge. If Uncle Yank has anything to do with it, they will be more than just business associates.
The development between these two characters was fun to watch unfold. I truly enjoyed it. If you haven't read this series, I recommend you do. Carly writes fun, sexy romance stories. If you haven't read this author, you don't know what you are missing.

This is a fantastic collection of sizzling hot sports romances, with some unexpected twists and turns, enough suspense to make you read past your bedtime, and some off-the-charts chemistry that makes your e-reader melt, in short a must-read!
HOT STUFF
Annabelle and Vaughn are a match made in heaven. Since both have trust issues due to their childhoods, they have a lot to overcome in order to open up to each other emotionally. Their banter and bickering is hilarious, as is Annabelle's little dog Boris and his mischief.
But as in real life, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Vaughn's dream of opening a lodge for summer camps for children with learning disabilities is threatened by a saboteur, and it takes everything to figure out who is pulling the strings.
Both the banter and the whodunit-like passages make this book a gripping read from start to finish and a page-turner par excellence that I highly recommend!
HOT NUMBER
Gah ... Hot Number is such a sweet and charming sports novel, with enough sizzling hot chemistry between both protagonists and enough bumps along the way to their happily ever after, that it's really hard to put the book down once you start reading.
Micki and Damian are a perfect match, both in terms of their personalities and their feelings. Both struggle with insecurities for different reasons and don’t want to risk getting emotionally hurt. It takes some curveballs out of left field for them to realize what they really want ...
Their story is beautifully written and an absolute must-read, and a great addition to this series.
HOT ITEM
Sophie and Riley's story is half romance novel, half whodunit. The tension was killer at times and kept me on the edge of my seat. Their romance is bumpy, to say the least, as fate and circumstance put many obstacles in their way. Add in their own insecurities, it sometimes felt like they would never find their happy endings.
I loved this story to pieces, the very well fleshed out characters, the emotional turmoil, the plot. Everything felt so lifelike and real and made this story a real page turner.
HOT PROPERTY
Holy Molly!
This series just keeps getting better with every new book.
John and Amy's story is both a true crime thriller and the sweetest romance novel ever. Their attraction is palpable from the first time they meet, and their chemistry is off-the-charts hot. And don't get me started on their eccentric and needy families. Each character is perfectly fleshed out, making them all so lifelike and relatable.
I laughed out loud while reading and wanted to shake the characters in frustration, and everything in between. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end, and I had to turn the pages as fast as possible. I love this book to pieces.

HOT STUFF:
Annie sometimes likes to change the subject, especially if she thinks she's in trouble:
“I woke up with a cat staring me in the face.” Vaughn pushed himself back against the pillows and folded his arms across his chest.
“You did, huh?” She lowered her gaze and her stare landed on his chest. “Uh, Vaughn? Are you naked beneath that sheet?”
Vaughn's thoughtfulness when it comes to tear is...well different, "...she wiped her damp eyes with the back of her hands. “Here, use this.” He handed her the corner of his comforter to use and she dabbed at the moisture." I loved this book, the characters were well developed.
HOT NUMBER:
There were times Micki just didn't understand Damian, "Micki blinked. “Oh, this is great. You’re apologizing to my uncle for kissing his twenty-six-year-old niece!” Damian is a great guy both he and Micki can call each other out on their crap, “and I didn’t come here to talk about the dog or to let you use her as a buffer or an excuse to avoid a serious conversation.” I enjoyed this book, I loved seeing these characters again.
HOT ITEM:
Riley has no problem openly ogling his woman while she's on the phone, “Of course. Hang on while I find a pen and paper.” She wandered the room naked in search of her purse, completely aware of Riley’s intense eyes following her every movement..." There are times Sophie doesn't realize the affect she has on Riley, “I can’t sleep with pants on,” she’d explained through a yawn, oblivious to how those words had turned him on." I loved this book, I love seeing the sister and their men. Well and Uncle Yank of course the man is crazy.
HOT PROPERTY:
Really excited about this one we FINALLY get Roper's book! After seeing him in all the other books I was hoping he'd get one and I'm ecstatic that he does! I loved Roper the man could be a gentleman at times, "...But he let his hand deliberately linger so he could touch her a little longer. “You already talked me into turning off my phone. Don’t add insult to injury by paying the check. My fragile male ego can’t handle it.” Roper likes to tease his woman, “Listen, I’d lift you and be inside of you already but I could never explain reinjuring my shoulder if I did.” He grinned..." I loved this book, I have to say both Roper and Amy's family gave me a headache at times.

5 stars for The Hot Zone by Carly Phillips
One of the best ways to read an amazing series with amazing characters is in a box set. The Hot Zone series did not disappoint. Lots of laughter, lots of love, lots of feels, some tears. Really good storylines of facing your relationship fears. Lots of steamy and hot couples. Could not put it down. Wanted more.

HOT STUFF 4*
Annabelle Jordan and her two sisters were orphans in frilly dresses when they went to live with their sports-lawyer uncle in his world of locker rooms, bookies, and gambling. Now the girls are publicists in their uncle's firm, The Hot Zone. All three sisters are strong, go getters. Annabelle is the protector of the three and worried about their separation. Her fears play into her adult insecurities. She is done with jocks. Her latest client, businessman and former football legend is Brandon Vaughn. Brandon is done with controlling women who want to tell him what to do. He understands the importance of Annabelle's job as a publicist, but he does not trust anyone but himself. His business is having many problems and he must trust her enough to get her help. Sparks fly and Brandon is shocked at Annabelle's forwardness concerning their attraction. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
HOT NUMBER 4*
Micki Jordan is the youngest sister in the sports agency and decided she's through being just one of the guys. She wants a family and a serious relationship but she always ends up the friend. She likes pro ballplayer and renowned playboy Damian Fuller, but cannot believe he sees her as anything but his publicist. The women on his arm are always busty, blonde, and nothing like Micki. Damian has never meta woman that could distract him from his focus on his career. Until Micki. She is fiery and doesn't hold her punches. He wants to stay away from her because he is so attracted to her and he believes she would distract him from total focus on his career. Neither does he want to admit that his days on the field are drawing to an end. He must decide what he wants for his life, beyond his career.

Now the girls are publicists in their uncle's firm, The Hot Zone. All three sisters are strong, go getters. Annabelle is the protector of the three and worried about their separation. Her fears play into her adult insecurities. She is done with jocks. Her latest client, businessman and former football legend is Brandon Vaughn. Brandon is done with controlling women who want to tell him what to do. He understands the importance of Annabelle's job as a publicist, but he does not trust anyone but himself. His business is having many problems and he must trust her enough to get her help. Sparks fly and Brandon is shocked at Annabelle's forwardness concerning their attraction. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

I was looking for a complete series that would take some time for me to listen to, but I wanted something good and you can never go wrong with a good sports romance so I ended up with The Hot Zone.
I’ll admit that the first book is rough. Carly spends a lot of time telling you how the character feels instead of letting their actions speak for themselves. Somehow every character knows exactly why they feel the way they do and why they’re acting a certain way, which is beyond the typical fiction “Suspend your disbelief for me.”
But I have to say that I’m glad I stuck with it. These books really do get better as the series goes on, the author came up with plot points that I didn’t think she had in her!! Even if they were predictable, they were a light and fun listen (especially with Sophie Eastlake as the narrator).
The Jordan sisters are just as lovable as they are strong-willed. The men are hunky, the spice is spicy, and I found myself happy when each couple got their happy ending. Don’t forget the sheer amount of meddling every single character engages in, it really feels like a family that just wants the other members to get out of their own way. Kind of like the Aunts did for Sally in Practical Magic with Michael.
My favorite character you ask? That would have to be the old man himself, Yank Morgan. That man is a hoot and a half and I love him, his hair-brained schemes, how much he loves his family, and of course Noodle.

This book was recommended to me as being about the Ebola virus threat. Turns out there's 4 of them and I read all four and not one mention of Ebola.
I did think it was weird for a book supposedly about Ebola to have a hot couple posing on all the covers but, whatever, sex sells.
Turns out there's a lot of sex. Like, A LOT.
I really liked the first book, Hot Zone: Hot Stuff
These books lose a star due to the aforementioned lack of Ebola. It would've seriously upped the dramatic stakes. Even if it was just a little bit of Ebola. Like if Brandon had got Ebola but only on his penis.
I'm not sure if it can be localized on a particular body part but I doubt anyone will be fact checking this type of book. Dramatically, it would've tested their relationship to see if their love could transcend the corporeal and into the realms of the metaphysical.
I really hope any further sequels incorporate Ebola or a similar kind of virus.

A hilarious, entertaining and enjoyable series. Each story is equally endearing and enjoyable. I enjoyed every single second of this series.
