HOTTER THAN EVER BY Elle Kennedy has hot, sexy, gorgeous
Navy
Seals, need I say more? Of course I do, because that is
just part of the story between Claire McKinley, Dylan Wade
and Aidan Rhodes.
Claire is staring at herself, in her wedding dress, in the
full length mirror at the Marin Hills golf club wondering
if she is doing the right thing by marrying Chris Wade, of
course she is, and besides there are 500 hundred guests out
there waiting for the ceremony to begin. She is brought
back to reality by a knock on the door. She is hoping that
it is not her stand in bridesmaid Michelle. Her best friend
Natasha is in Sierra Leone on a doctor's mission trip. She
is
more then surprised when she hears the voice of Chris's
brother Dyaln hollering at her to open the door.
This is
the last person she wanted to see. She did not like Dylan
at all, she thought he was a jerk. Chris told her that
Dylan never contributed any money to help out their mother
and he thought her views on housewives are wrong. When she
invited him in she did not expect him to stare at her. When
he could finally talk, he let her know how beautiful she
was. Then he drops the bombshell on her that Chris does not
want to marry her and he has left. Claire can only stare at
Dylan. Dylan tells her that Chris thought it would be a
mistake if they went through with the wedding. Dylan tells
her that his mother is taking care of telling the guests
and he suggests she leave with him.
Letting Dylan handle
things, she finds herself in his rental car on the way to
the
airport. She is trying to figure out what happened and
what to do, when Dylan gives her 3 options. Go back to her
apartment to confront Chris, go to the hotel and let the
pity parade begin with the phones calls and text messages
she has gotten or she can go to the airport with him, get
on a Coast Guard helicopter back to San Diego and hide for
a while and get herself together without the distractions.
After Dylan gets a call from Chris that he is also heading
to the airport to go on the honeymoon, that her father paid
for, she decides option 3, going to San Diego for a while
is the best plan. She is glad that before they left the
golf club she thought enough to change out of her wedding
dress and into a beach and honeymoon appropriate sundress.
When they get to San Diego and the cab pulls up to a
luxurious high rise apartment building, she sends Dylan a
questioning look. The last time she visited him in San
Diego he lived in a house with his other roommate, Seth.
Now he has a new roommate, Aidan, and this is his
apartment. Aidan is the person she saw him locked in a very
passionate kiss, the night she stayed with him. She could
never get that image of the two of them locked together in
a dark hallway. She never got a good look at Aidan, but
knew he had to be gorgeous. When they get upstairs to the
apartment Aidan comes out, shirtless, and she is not
disappointed by what she sees.
Over the next few days the
three of them start to get comfortable with each. Aidan
opens up a little to Claire about his past and family.
Something that he has never done with Dylan. Her and Dylan
finally hash out their dislike for each other and Dylan
learns things about his mother and brother that they have
been keeping from him, and Claire learns that Dylan is not
the jerk she thought he was, but that Chris is. She also
learns that both Dylan and Aidan are both bi-sexual. This
revelation turns the dynamics of the relationship between
the three of them completely around.
From here the story heats up and will have you fanning
yourself to cool down. Either that or have a big glass of
something cold to drink while reading, HOTTER THAN EVER. I
really liked this story and read it as a stand alone. I did
not realize that this was book number nine in a long running
series. I did not get lost and
did not feel like I was missing anything by not reading the
other eight. But I can tell you I will be going back and
reading them. I highly recommend reading HOTTER THAN EVER,
it is fast paced, sexy and a good read.
Claire McKinley has just experienced every bride’s nightmare. The groom is a no-show, and now she must face five hundred guests alone. Furious and humiliated, Claire seeks help from the most unlikely candidate—her almost- brother-in-law, who promptly whisks her away to his apartment in San Diego, where she can recover her pride in peace and quiet. Dylan Wade is no fan of Claire’s, but no way can he leave the jilted bride in her time of need. Bringing her home seems like a good idea—until he remembers his new roommate. Dylan’s relationship with Aidan is…complicated. And with Claire thrown into the mix, life becomes even more… complicated
