Ivy York hosts a talk radio show called Economic Sex Hex. The radio show allows her to give advice to men and women on how to protect their economic assets while in a relationship, and the whole idea stemmed from her personal experience. She was stupid and gave away too much information to the man she loved, and he took advantage of her trust. Her stupidity cost her a job and almost resulted in her losing her freedom. Her true passion is accounting and she does forensic accounting on the side to make sure people obtain the money that is due them. The subject of much rancor on her show is someone referred to as the Urban Legend, a man who is known to retrieve stolen objects. Ivy is convinced that his website is set up to lure in women for purely sexual purposes. What would she do if she came face to face with the Urban Legend?

Luke Sterling is a private investigator whose specialty is recovering stolen objects. He is currently on the trail of a couple of stolen statues known as the Jade Goddesses of Fertility and Virility. His trail has led him straight into the office of Ivy York. Rather it led him to her mother, but he is confident that Ivy has to be the mastermind behind the thefts. He figures that anyone who can steal three million dollars, and have someone else take the fall could easily maneuver the theft of a couple of statues. He goes undercover as her assistant to get close to her since she has a little bit of a hostility against the Urban Legend as he has come to be known. Will he be able to get the infallible Ivy York to make a mistake and lead him to the statues? Or is she as innocent as she seems to be?

Jennifer Apodaca has written another fabulous novel. Luke and Ivy both have their hang-ups about each other, but that makes for an extremely charged atmosphere and the right conditions for their looming attraction to explode. The other characters each have their quirks that make them charming and add to the entertainment of the story. This story seems to have it all -- romance, suspense, humor, and murder. EXTREMELY HOT is a swiftly moving romantic mystery that constantly keeps you guessing.

SUMMARY

THE RULES ACCORDING TO IVY YORK:

1. NEVER TRUST A BAD BOY.

2. NEVER MAKE DECISIONS WITH YOUR LIBIDO.

3. DISREGARD RULES #1 AND 2.

Ivy York became an accountant because numbers don't lie and cheat. Too bad the same can't be said of the men she's met. Now, as the wildly successful host of the radio show, "The Economic Sex Hex," she advises women to take control of their money and to spot the bad boys before they get too close. And the ultimate bad boy Sex Hex is the Urban Legend, a man known for lovin' women (exquisitely) and leavin' while chasing down stolen property for a hefty fee. No one knows who he really is.but every woman he's ever pleasured would happily take him back for more.

Luke Sterling likes being the Urban Legend almost as much as he likes bringing thieves to justice. And right now, he's on the trail of two stolen figurines famous for conferring sexual prowess-and the trail leads straight to Ivy. Posing as her personal assistant should be a piece of cake, but Luke didn't count on Ivy's own brand of Sex Hex. That good girl game coupled with fierce smarts wrapped around one luscious, curvy body is making him want to prove to Ivy that the Urban Legend more than lives up to his top billing. Suddenly, the hottest show in town isn't on the air-it's between the sheets.
