Cute and spicy with no plot, 
But at under 100 pages you cant really expect one. 

I will say thought, the spice is spicing!

John & Shelby’s story is so spicy! I wanted them to just be honest with each other so badly. Cute story.

Audible Escape as part of “Hot & Bothered” which includes novellas 1-3. This one was narrated by Lazlo Hollyfeld who I’d never heard before, but enjoyed.

This does include an MFM scene with H, h, & another member of H’s SEAL team. But the main romance is just MF. It’s a steamy & short story. While technically H is military, there’s no action/suspense here ~ it’s all about the relationship.

Heat of the Moment is the first book in the Out of Uniform series by author Elle Kennedy.

If you are looking for a full length novel, look elsewhere. This novella is just that -- a short story. It comes in at 78 pages according to Amazon and I want to mention that it is even shorter than that since the last 10 percent maybe of the book is previews for other stories.

This is a sexy and short M/F/M menage read. The main couple is John Garrett and Shelby Harper with the third person involved is Carson Scott. After pining for each other for a year, Shelby finally invites John and Carson up to her place after closing time. She had the cafe open during a heat wave for the service men and she over hears Carson and John talking about how vanilla Shelby probably is. Shelby is convinced to show them how un-vanilla she is by acting out her fantasy of two men at one time.

I really enjoyed this short story and the writer made it believable. While Carson was more of a third wheel in the story, he was a pivotal player in getting these two together. Even though it does feature instant love after one night together with a small glitch of insecurities, I could actually see these two people together for the long haul.

While it was in no means a book that will be above others, I will say that this short story was a great start to being introduced to this author for the first time. If this had been a full length novel, I am sure it would have rated higher in my opinion. New readers of this author will get a quick thrill with John and Shelby and will be wanting to follow it up with the next novella in the series.

I wish that this had more character development. The majority of the novella is just the sex scenes.

This book was okay and good for quick read but I guess I just can't do the whole ménage thing. All I kept thinking was how shitty of a friend Carson is for going ahead with the threesome knowing how Garrett felt about Shelby. Not cool. :(
