Sweet and funny. Mike was even cutter than Romeo in the first book. I really like Mike more. Anabelle was too scared to fight and that annoyed me, but other than that I liked her. I'm looking forward the next book and Becca's story. This author just has gained a new fan in me.

I enjoyed the first book in the series enough to want to read the second one, but it didn’t deliver. While it continued the story of the four siblings, I didn’t feel the connection between the two main characters. I didn’t enjoy this one very much which is why it took as long as it did to get through. Not sure if I’ll bother with the last two books. This one was that much of a disappointment.

In this snappy sequel to Robin Kaye's first Domestic God novel "Romeo, Romeo", the author Robin Kaye brings back supporting characters and makes Annabelle Ronaldi's love life the focus this time around. If you haven't read the first book, there is no need to worry. I haven't read it yet but plan on going back and reading it because "Too Hot to Handle" was so much fun I can't wait for more of it. This was my introduction to a Domestic God: he happily cooks, cleans, does your laundry and looks gorgeous doing it. (SOLD!)

This frisky story brings us to Annabelle and Mike as they meet up at Annabelle's sister's wedding. Mike is perfect in all ways but there are mysterious undertones in each of their lives that makes this book more than just your average romance romp. Annabelle is recovering from her past relationships, and Mike is pretty much the Knight in Shining Armor that any woman would love to have knock on her door, besides the fact that he's a doctor. Yet he too has the troubling background which adds itself to the mystery facet of the novel. As these mysteries unfold, their mutual enchantment with each other is threatened. The favorite characters from the first novel are brought back as the secrets and mysteries unwind, and their dysfunctional family twists add humor and entertainment.

This is one of those books that alludes to the major turning point in the mystery, yet you pretty much know what it is. This is my one criticism especially because it was hinted at immediately in the book, before actually letting the reader get involved in the suspense of it.
But I loved it for the rollicking sexual attraction and for the high-spirited style of writing which made it more than just a erotic love story. If you like Janet Evanovich as I do, you will enjoy Robin Kaye. This book is an easy victory for Robin Kaye and I look forward to more of her accomplishments.

In the first book Annabella was nasty. She was the main characters sister. She said to her sister, "I'm the pretty one" and meant it. She was not that likable in this book either. But it was so hard to be on her side (regardless of her tough past) when I remembered she was an ass in that first book. She was also very "poor me" and that got to be annoying. I hope this author doesn't get in the habit of feeling like the hero/heroine have to break up. They can face another obstacles besides breaking up to create a since of drama.

Read this review on my blog! --> Book Travels

The first story in this series was a very pleasant surprise and I jumped really fast on book two. Since most of the characters are already know and we kinda can’t wait to see how they fell in love.

The first book is about Rosalie and we met her sister Annabelle there. I have to say that she sounded like a bitch from her appearance and I wanted someone better in this book, but some things happened in her past that made her that way and it took some time for her to overcome the sadness and really enjoy life again.

Nick introduced us he’s friend Mike when lee caught pneumonia and needed a doctor. First of all he sounded way more happy on the first book and after realizing that he’s life is not perfect as it sounded kinda enjoyed more he’s responsible fair, because he was way to perfect to be true.

So these two met on the wedding and it was attraction at first sight. Annabelle was sad and he looked like someone else to her, but after getting drunk the night was really all about sex for them. But Mike wanted more, a relationship while Annabelle just wanted to enjoy good sex for the first time in her life.

Annabelle is kinda like her sister and not very domestic, but Mike also learned a thing or two with Vinnie, plus he’s a bit of crazy with cleaning parts, so they ended up like a copy of the same story on the first book and that’s the only part I didn’t like it.

But Annabelle had secrets and I enjoyed how she finally let herself open up and how she and Mike handled their problems. Mike discovered more about his family, but things ended up really good. In the end the book earned the forth star.

A great little story

Such a great story with an interesting twist. Annabelle and Mike meet at her sister's wedding that was suppose to be her wedding.

Great story.

When I finished reading Romeo, Romeo I was so happy to see that Robin Kaye wrote a story about Rosalie's sister Annabelle and Nick's friend Mike so I ordered it and Too Hot To Handle was just as good as Romeo, Romeo!

I just love Robin Kaye sense of homer and a good plot full of emotions that also makes me laugh is a book for the keeper shelf.
