It's been years since I have read a category romance and after finishing Isabel Sharpe's HOT TO THE TOUCH, I find myself wondering what I've missed. HOT TO THE TOUCH is a delightful story full of love, passion, and page-turning uncertainty. Will they? Won't they? I knew there was a happy ending, but I was dying to know how they got there. Actually, this book has 2 wonderful stories as there is a lovely subplot that revolves around transitioning from friendship into romance. This is the third book in Ms. Sharpe's Checking E-Males series, and I am eagerly anticipating reading the first two.

Restaurateur Darcy Clark has given up on love; even though she's watched two of her friends succumb. The other member of their Women in Power quartet, Marie Hewitt, runs an online dating service and is determined to find the right man for Darcy. She thinks Troy Cahill would be perfect, and after discovering Darcy is the mysterious woman with whom he spent one passionate night, Troy agrees. Darcy might be willing to take a risk, but can she trust Troy to be the man she needs?
