Book Synopsis: THE DAYS WERE HOT...
Nurse Georgia Adams can't sleep - and it's got nothing to do with the local heat wave. She's got a lukewarm boyfriend, a nonexistent love life - and she's frustrated, really frustrated. So she decides to take the edge off by calling her boyfriend for a little phone flirtation--and a lot more! Only, she doesn't realize she's dialed the wrong number!
...BUT THE NIGHTS WERE SCORCHING
Police officer Ken Medlock can't sleep, either-his libido is in overdrive thanks to his sexy midnight caller. He's captivated by her voice - and when he meets and recognizes her the next day, he realizes he has to have her in his bed-not at the end of his phone line. But first he has to convince Georgia that her wrong number has turned into a very right connection...
Book Review: Scorching! Fiery! Searing! Blistering! Sizzling! How do we spell the incomparable Stephanie Bond's, Too Hot to Sleep? C-a-l-i-e-n-t-e!
Let me start off this review by saying, Stephanie Bond is one of my absolute favorite authors. She can write anything & it is juicy, riveting & difficult to put down. Bond's books are like chocolate ~ a delicious, wicked pleasure! I keep a stash of her books around for emergencies sorta like breaking the glass moments. Bond is definitely a must read author, an auto buy & the girl to go to when I am in a reading slump or just in a petulant mood.
Stephanie Bond is a gifted writer who not only has a way of making you fall in love w/ the hero -- Bond makes you ache to be the heroine.
Meet Nurse Georgia Adams. Georgia is in an apathetic relationship w/ her boyfriend. She definitely needs a dose of sultry to bring the sexy back. Georgia decides to take the advice of a friend & calls her lukewarm boyfriend late @ night & begins what she believes is a way to make their relationship pop... some harmless, tantalizing phone sex. What she doesn't realize is that her calls have been going to the wrong man. Uh oh! Can we say whoops?!
Enter sexy Officer Ken Medlock, Ken is awakened by a sensuous voice on the phone... a voice that's cooing to him that she isn't wearing panties. Ken is jolted wide awake by this juicy tidbit. He's extremely overwhelmed by this seductive call & is too bewildered to enlighten the smokin' femme fatale that she's dialed a wrong number. Let's not forget, he is absolutely loving every single moment of this mix up.
I don't want to ruin your fun @ reading this charming romance by giving away too much. I will say I would love a sequel... I am even willing to bribe the awesome Bond w/ delectable chocolates. *Hint*Hint*.
Bond's writing muscle simply radiates w/ her vivacious, intriguing & feisty characters. She is a genius @ displaying each character's viewpoint. Brava to Bond for making the heroine & hero easy to connect with. The sparks ignite & Georgia & Ken explode.
You definitely need to cool yourself down w/ ice water, the a/c or just head out in the frigid air to cool down. Trust me on this.
Too Hot to Sleep is definitely a must to have on your shelves.

Great review. This does sound like story not to be missed. I must remember this title when I am wanting a romance read.
Steamy!
Sounds like something I'd have to read under the covers so I wouldn't get caught!
Great Review, D! It's been a while since I read a romance novel.
Would love to read this book. Now I will have to add to my list. Heck, it keeps getting longer, and longer..LOL

Hi misskallie2000,
Let me just say your tbr pile will soon turn into a mountain... mine is a village all its own LOL!!!
Enjoy!
Thanks, Diane, for the glowing review of TOO HOT TO SLEEP. Do you know that when the book was first released back in June 2000 (it was reprinted in Aug 2004), it was my worst reviewed book? The most popular romance review magazine, which shall go unnamed, gave it a "1" because it was too "raunchy"! Considering how far the romance genre has gone in terms of expicit love scenes, that adjective is almost laughable now! Not sure if I'll ever get to write a sequel to TOO HOT TO SLEEP, but I recently got the film rights back to it, so I might write a TV movie script for it! So glad you enjoyed. Thanks very much for your interest and for support the romance genre!
Warmest wishes,
Stephanie Bond
