Annabelle Jordan is a publicists at her uncle's firm. He's a sports lawyer or agent or something like that. She and her two sisters were orphaned at a young age so Uncle Yank took them in and raised them as well as he could.

Brandon Vaughn was a NFL Quarterback until his knee got blown out. Now he's in the HOF and trying to get his life back in track after a bad divorce. He's overcoming a loveless childhood. His father is a professor and never understood why Brandon didn't excel in school, he could never come to terms that Brandon is dyslexic. And his mother, well she supported her husband in everything which meant no support or caring from her only son.

Brandon comes back to Uncle Yank....his wife switched agencies when Brandon got hurt with promises of TV careers and even more money....needing his help. He is opening a lodge that during the summer will host underprivileged and kids with learning issues. Someone is out to sabotage his work and it's become a PR nightmare.

He doesn't want Annabelle seeing as he met her once and felt an instant attraction. He needs to concentrate on his lodge and change his image. He's obviously never dealt with a determined woman. Sparks fly. They learn that they have misjudged one another in a lot of ways. They shear their fears and passion.

The culprit of the vandalism was easy to spot but it took a while for the them to piece it together. Uncle Yank and his long time assistant Lola are a hilarious side story. Hoping we get more from them in the other books.

He wants acceptance. She craves love and security. What they find is more explosive than even they thought possible. Hot Stuff blends fiery attraction, the power of healing and strength of love. Carly Phillips is a class act when it comes to emotional stories and simmering attraction. A childhood tragedy has left Annie with insecurities that she hides from the people she loves most (sisters and Uncle) and the need to look after the vulnerable and weak (she collects animals in need of TLC). It has also left her heartbroken many times in her love life. Vaughn is a man with a few secrets of his own. His skills led him to the big leagues but injury sidelined him. With that part of his life in the past, he seeks to find the next phase. He needs help. Too bad, it comes in the form of a man eating spitfire like Annie. What both discover is that beneath all the subterfuge they have much in common. Annie and Vaughn tickle the heart strings. ( )

STEAMY!!!! Whoo! If you don't mind sex - take a gander. There is a cute story too... ( )

This was great! Not only was the story of Vaughn and Annabelle fun, sexy and intriguing but the additional romances between Mara and Nick and Yank and Lola were good too. This was fun and fast paced with out being rushed. Can't wait to see what is in store for Annabelle's other sisters ( )
