Single father Kevin O’Donnell would do anything to give his daughter Holly a stable life—including leave the Air Force and take a job working at Knight and Day Flight Tours in charming Jupiter Point, California. After his wild daredevil past, he’s sworn off relationships until Holly turns eighteen. Just three more years. No problem; he’s got this under control. Until a chance encounter with a … smart, sassy bombshell—who just happens to be his new boss’s sister.
Since her father’s unsolved murder, Cassie Knight has spent over a decade on the road with her mother, memories chasing the fragile woman from town to town…or so Cassie thought. Only after returning to Jupiter Point does she learn something—or someone—all too real triggered their life on the run. Now, with her brother closing in on their father’s killer, Cassie’s free to pursue her own happiness for the first time. Enter smart, sexy, funny Kevin O’Donnell.
Of course they’ll have to keep it light. There’s a big off-limits sign on Kevin’s heart, and Cassie’s ready to hit the road the minute her father’s killer is found. She can do light—no problem. But she didn’t count on their sizzling chemistry…Holly’s suddenly odd behavior…and a killer who’s more cunning than the Knight family ever suspected. Too hot to handle? There’s only one way to find out.

Wow. I can’t say enough about the Knight Brothers series. I only hope that it will entice you to read all about the Jupiter Point Hotshots AND the Knights… This town will knock your socks off.
Too Hot To Handle is about Cassie Knight, the only ‘sister’ in the family. Never fear, she goes head to head with a new employee working with her brothers, Kevin O’Donnell, who is given the honorary title of Knight Brother. No worries! These two create sparks right from the get-go, and there is no way it is brotherly love.
Cassie and Kevin are truly combustible and their personalities play with and against each other to perfection. I loved Kevin – which makes my saying I love the Knight Brothers still 100% true. He struggles with trying to fit in and wear the (let’s call it a) cloak of a ‘new life’ in Jupiter Point. He is flawed, true, but I think he does an excellent job, even at being ‘a boy’ sometimes. Cassie is great, too, even as she struggles with her own childhood demons. She even faces one of ‘em up close and personal and it has its funny moments. Ms. Bernard really handled some serious issues very well, and with heart, and it fit the story perfectly.
For me, there was a surprise at the very end of the book – not really a part of the THtH story – but it made me smile and gave me hope that we’ll see these Knights again. Fingers crossed! Truly loved the book and enjoyed my visit to Jupiter Point.
