REVIEW: Keeping It Hot by Sydney Landon

Keeping It Hot by Sydney Landon Zoe has been in love with her best friend Dylan forever. It’s too bad that he’s never really noticed her as anything other                                                                                                              than his best friend. At the urging of her best friend and employee, Zoe decides it’s time to finally make a play and get Dylan’s attention for once and all. With Zoe’s 30th birthday coming up, it’s time for a change.

Zoe has always been one of the guys for Dylan; she dresses more for comfort rather than showing off her fabulous figure. They are always spending time together. Dylan runs his families’ Oceanix resort in Florida while Zoe runs a coffee shop on the resort. Dylan is definitely sexy, charming, and a workaholic. He has certainly enjoyed plenty of flings while holding Zoe in reserve. He’s a big fan of routines, so when Zoe suddenly appears in new, sexy clothing his entire world is turned upside down.

“Everything all right?”
Waving a hand at her, he asked, “So what’s with the new clothes again? I know you said the dress last night was for a date, but you’re all…different today. I thought that was a one-time thing.”

Between the new clothes and Zoe’s willingness to go on more dates, the changes in Zoe has Dylan seeing green. He can’t stand that Zoe is going out with other men while at the same time he’s confused by the growing attraction he’s experiencing. Zoe’s plan certainly seems to be working and much more quickly than expected. Finally crossing that line from friends to lovers is everything she expected and more.

“Now, now,” he teased, “that mouth was what got you dunked in the first place. If you’re not a good girl, it’s going to happen again.”
Doing her best to look contrite, she said, “I’m sorry. You know I didn’t mean it.” And of course, as she’d expected, he fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Keeping It Hot is fun, sexy, and a great beach read! Sydney Landon entertained with great dialogue, interactions, and chemistry. Ms. Landon turned up the heat with a new series that promises to be as good as the Danvers series. Fans of Jenna Sutton and Lorelei James will enjoy Keeping It Hot.
