When a daredevil football stud tries to get into your yoga pants, you know class is about to get interesting. The New York Times bestselling author of Down & Dirty returns with Hot & Heavy.
Sage: Although I come from a long line of free-spirited yoga teachers, sometimes I wish my life could be just a little more normal. More ordinary. More boring. Easier said than done, especially since it’s on me to keep my family’s studio up and running every time my mother wanders off to find herself. But that’s when my best friend sends me a sexy new student: Shawn Wilson, a slick wide receiver with a death wish and a chip on his broad, muscular, irresistible . . . wait, what were we talking about again?
Shawn: They say I’m an adrenaline junkie. The truth is, I only really feel alive when I’m risking my life: Snowboarding, parachuting, BASE jumping . . . the kind of fun team management considers breach of contract. When my coach orders me to take yoga to “center myself,” I’m pissed—until I get an eyeful of delectable, flexible Sage Kaufmann. Unfortunately, she’s determined to keep things between us strictly business. But if Sage can get me to enjoy downward dog, maybe I can convince her that scorching hot sex could be the perfect shot of adrenaline.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Hot & Heavy is a steamy, short read, perfect for a binge read at the beach! It’s part of Tracy Wolff’s Lightening series, but reads as a true standalone.
I’m not a fan of drunken bangs in the back rooms of bars as a couple’s meet-cute, so I had to suck it up and get past Sage and Shawn’s initial encounter before I could let myself enjoy the story. Because of course he is the athlete who Sage’s best friend sends her way for therapeutic yoga just a few days later!
These two are complete opposites: Shawn is an adrenaline junkie and Sage needs her life in perfect order. Their childhood demons have made them the way they are, but what happens when their opposite outlooks on life cause too big of a divide? Sage loves Shawn enough to let him go and not watch him willingly put himself in harm’s way, but is he willing to take the biggest risk of all when it comes to letting someone into his heart?
This book has tons of sexy moments, but is also very sweet at times. Definitely a summer-worthy beach read! I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and the publisher and voluntarily left a review.
