Some Like It Hott by Serena Bell

3.5

Serena Bell’s Some Like It Hott is another fun and sexy romantic comedy from her Hott Springs Eternal series.

This novel includes the following tropes:

• Opposites attract

• Grumpy vs. sunshine

• Small-town romance

• Found family

In this installment, we’re treated to a classic opposites-attract, grumpy/sunshine dynamic between Preston, a workaholic investment banker, and Natalie, the “underachieving” but brilliant activity coordinator and people person.

Once again, Grandfather Hott disrupts one of the Hott brothers’ lives through his will. To fulfill his obligations, Preston Hott is forced to temporarily relocate from New York—jeopardizing his career—and work closely with Hott Springs’ newest employee, Natalie. With two hot(t)-tempered personalities, sparks inevitably fly.

I recommend Some Like It Hott to readers who love a well-written, feel-good small-town romance with plenty of heat and heart.

I usually avoid dark romances like this. There’s nothing romantic or sexy to me about stalking, murderers, or similar themes—and I certainly don’t have a knife kink either. However, after hearing so much buzz about this book, I decided to give it a try. I have to admit, Aly and Josh’s story was highly entertaining, thanks in large part to the phenomenal narrators of the audiobook.
