Hot Item (Hot Zone Book 3)

Sophie and Riley are hot together. These two go on an adventure together to find Spencer and come back with so much more. I loved that he pushed her a bit out of her usual in-control self. I enjoyed reading this again just as much as the first time.

Sophie and Riley are great together. Riley has so much baggage, he makes middle sister Sophie's issues look fairly benign. Add in all the drama going on at the agency, and the story flows, with enough action outside of the romance to keep you guessing.

Sophie and Riley both have issues and are opposites in many ways. Both must decide to whether open up and learn from one another or move on in their own space. I adore these sisters. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Book 3 of the Hot Zone series. Enjoyed the story of a control-centered Sophie losing her edge to a more carefree Riley. This story proves in love there are no guarantees and sometimes it does take a leap of faith to fall in love.

The third installment of this series centers around Sophie, the middle sister. She is, to put it mildly, a control freak. It is her way of dealing with the loss of her parents. She feels more comfortable with uncontrollable situations if she can research and plan ahead. What she doesn't see coming is her having to handle the office alone. Her oldest sister has just had a baby, her youngest sister is on her honeymoon as well as her uncle. The office though has decided that it needs to blow up with problem after problem. The biggest is her uncle's best friend Spencer has disappeared after the press released his sexual preferences.
Riley Nash is the son of that best friend and needs to speak to Spencer to make sure that Spencer doesn't reveal that Riley is his son.
They try to find Spencer together and that is how their romance starts.
I admire Sophie's character. She tries to control the things around her so that she doesn't get hurt again. She stays away from romantic entanglements because she's afraid he will leave. I also admire Riley. He also has issues with people not paying attention to him since his birth father never acknowledged him. They both have to trust in each other and that comes at a price for both of them.
The affair that they start as a short term fling turns serious for both of them really fast. They can't deny that they fall hard and fast but neither wants to admit anything for fear of getting not only crushed but devastated. They both know they have never had feeling like this for any other person. They sacrifice themselves for the other.
I loved how this played out. Riley's daughter is anot interesting addition to the story line, especially since she is a teenager. Most single parents in these types of novels are smaller children and I think Ms. Phillips has done an excellent job portraying how a teenager thinks.

Sophie Jordan is the middle sister that Uncle Yank raised after their parents were killed in a plane crash. Sophie has always been close to her father's best friend, Spence Atkins. Spence has a soft spot for Sophie. Sophie has walls built around her heart and emotions because she is afraid of losing someone she loves like her parents. Sophie handles her emotions by having to be in control of everything. Everything has to be planned out and researched. The papers have run a story that Spence is gay. None of Sophie's family had any idea. Sophie's uncle is away on his honeymoon, no one knows where Spence is, and some of the agency's athletes wants to talk to Spencer. Then Riley Nash, pro football player, comes to see Sophie wanting to know where Spencer is. Riley ends up telling Sophie that Spencer is his biological father. Sophie has always been attracted to Riley, but doesn't want anything to do with someone who does everything on a whim. The two of the, end up going to Florida to try and find Spencer. You need to read the book to see what happens.

I loved Sophie and her quirky personality. I felt bad that she was so afraid to love someone and always felt she needed to be in control. I liked seeing Sophie and Riley together. They were good about smoothing each other's edges. I wasn't crazy about how Riley let his teenage daughter get away with everything, but could understand some. Riley's family in Florida that he never met until his trip with Sophie were a hoot. There were good stories going on in the book that I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Copy of this book.

Hot Item by Carly Phillips was amazingly HOT! We have book three of the Hot Zone and we get to read Sophie's story. If you thought her sisters were control freaks, you have another thing coming. Sophie is the Queen of Control. She always thought her life was complete as long as she has her family....but maybe they're just not enough for her little bubble anymore.

Riley is our yummy football quarterback and is a client of Hot Zone PR . A HUGE secret has come out that can potentially ruin his family. He is a player by day and...well a player at night. But he has loyalty to the ones that he loves. To try to stop the drama from unfolding, he has to team up with Sophie. And you get the ride of your life with these two! Oh! I also fell for our bratty teenager Lizzy!! She loves her family and always gets her way, until she had to learn the hard way that actions speak louder than words.

Spencer and Yank are at it again!! We know they are long time best friends and rivals... which actually works for these two <3 Hot Item was sexy, funny, dramatic, and leaves your heart in your throat at times..but you have to love the Jordan sisters! They are spunky, sexy, and always in charge. This was another great book written by an amazing author! No onto book 4, Hot Property. Make sure to get your copy today!!! You need to read this series.

I truly enjoyed reading Hot Item, the third book in Carly Phillips’ Hot Zone series, once again. I loved how Sophie Jordan tries to overcome her fears in order to help Riley Nash, quarterback for the NY Giants and client of her uncle. Sophie is the middle sister who has a need for control after the death of their parents. Sophie helps Riley in locating his biological father who has gone missing. As these two spend time together Sophie breaks her rule about not dating athletes as she falls under Riley’s spell. Sophie’s fears cause her to run away from the man who loves her. Now she needs to decide which is more important, control and loneliness or love.

This book is not the sexy story as are Phillips’ more recent books, but still has those loveable characters that you want to cheer on, hoping for their happy ending. The characters were well written and authentic. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I genuinely enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I really enjoyed reading the latest installment in the Hot Zone Series! This is the story of Sophie the middle sister of the Jordan clan. She is the one with iron control...everything has a place and function and nothing will deter her from that. Enter Riley Nash....a quarterback and a client of the firm. He is desperately needing to find Spencer. Lucky for him Sophie is looking for Spencer as well so who better to help Riley than her. Come to find out that the reason Riley needs to find Spencer is to tell him that he is his child that Spencer didn't know about. The attraction between Riley and Sophie has her control ripped to shreds and she doesn't know how to handle it. The attraction is there for them both but Sophie is scared to let Riley in and take a risk.

This book was everything for me. I laughed, cried, swooned, yelled a bit. This was such a fantastic addition to such an amazing series! I can't wait to see what Carly has in store next for this series. Well done!!!

Cool, Sophie Jordan loves her daily routine as she run's her Family's Sports Management Agency , but she stays behind the scenes. But as always there is a curve coming her way. One sister is on maternity leave and the other on her honeymoon, Sophie need to step up and deal with the crisis that has popped up. As a emergency dealing with the vanishing of a superstar Spenser Atkins.
Oh and her comes a bad boy Riley Nash who also needs to locate Spenser. (there are always bad boys to deal with) but they tend to make it far more fun.
Enter star quarterback and notorious bad boy Riley Nash who, for reasons of his own, needs to track Sophie has kept a strict no-dating-client's 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! Will they come together will that fire burn, read the book to find out the outcome. Well worth reading.

Sophie is the middle child. She said she would never date much less marry a sports person. Mark her word. HUM YEP. Sophie and her sisters work along side her Uncle Yank running her family's top sports management agency. Her oldest sister is out pregnant...youngest is on her honeymoon so it is up to Sophie to handle the business. OH yes Uncle Yank is out too on his honeymoon as well ..finally.

OF course when everyone is out of the office all poop hits the fan. News comes out about Spenser one of the other partners and he disappears. News that no one knows what to say about it. THEN majorly handsome quarterback Riley Nash shows up demanding to see Spenser himself which is odd since Yank is his rep.

Things get all fun and crazy when Sophie *(who is refusing to admit she has a thing for Riley) and Riley head out to search for him together. Being in close quarters can bring all kinds of feelings...

This book is a continuation of the Jordan sisters. The only single sister left gets her chance in this one, and it's just as enjoyable as the first two! It may be a re-release of an older title, but I loved it as much this time around as I did when I read it the first time 10 years ago. Yank and Lola need their own story!!

Great book, love Sophie and Riley. As always the have to overcome some issues but the romance, chemistry and understanding that this two characters have is unique. This is a great story and I really love reading it.

I received a copy of this book in exchange of my honest review.
