"Kennedy brings forth sexiness in spades!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Getting Hotter

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Romance

GETTING HOTTER is book eight in Elle Kennedy's Out of Uniform series. Seth Masterson is a man on a mission. Ever since he set eyes on Miranda Breslin, he has known that he has wanted her. But life stands in their way. With two young kids -- twins, to be precise and a busy schedule, Miranda has absolutely no time to have a hot fling with the biggest bad boy. Yet, she cannot deny the attraction that stirs between them. To be honest, I had mixed emotions about Seth. I kept a mental tally of what I liked about him and didn't. For the first half of the book, the things I didn't like about him were adding up. He seemed to be a little too forward and while I can appreciate determination in a man, there were a couple other things that bothered me about his personality. He simply did not care about Miranda's obligations to her family. She has two kids to care for and all Seth cared about was how to get into her pants. This made me yearn for something more. Later on in the book, Kennedy redeems Seth a bit though I don't think he fully won me over. Nevertheless, Kennedy brings forth sexiness in spades. The sexual tension is palpable and there is a good variety of sex. I enjoyed the way Kennedy was able to bring life to her characters. With her clear and distinctive voice, Elle Kennedy is definitely becoming an author I will watch out for!

SUMMARY

Seth Masterson has been lusting over Miranda Breslin since the moment he saw her on a Vegas stage. Now that he’s been asked to watch out for her as she opens a dance studio in San Diego, he’s all over it, figuring it’s his chance to get her in his bed. Except the stubborn single mom seems determined to deny their crazy-sizzling sexual chemistry. In typical SEAL fashion, Seth makes it his personal mission to prove her wrong. Miranda got over her attraction to bad boys about the time one of them knocked her up at the age of eighteen. Seth’s mocking gray eyes and military-buff bod, though, are pure and utter temptation. And when a flooded apartment forces her and her twins to move in with him, she can no longer resist the urge to set off some serious fireworks between the sheets. But give him her heart? No, thank you. Any involvement with Seth will be strictly physical—and temporary. So when Seth decides permanent is what he wants, Miranda must steel her defenses before she does something incredibly foolish…like fall in love.
