Cole is definitely in over his head.

At every turn, Melodie is there, taunting him, teasing him, making him burn with a deep, undeniable need. But Cole promised her father that he’d protect her—even from himself—which means she’s off-limits.

Hot & Heavy is the correct title for this book! I loved everything about sexy, alpha boss, Cole Sommers, PI & his efficient & prim secretary, Melodie [Mel] Turner. Mel has had the hots for Cole for as long as she could remember & Cole has been totally oblivious to her desires & fantasies about him. Little does Mel know that Cole also has secret fantasies about her, only he will not act on them because of his loyalties to Mel’s father who was his mentor in the PI business & helped him start up his own firm.
Mel does everything she can in the office to give Cole the hint that she is interested but he does not seem to catch onto anything she is doing so Mel decides that she is tired of the waiting game & enlists the help of Cole’s sister. They go out to a day of Mel Makeover starting with a new hairstyle/makeup,& purchase Mel a new wardrobe of sexy clothes for instant makeover that is sure to stop Cole in his tracks & do more than just catch his eye! Everyone in the office is blown away when the “New Mel” walks in the door the next business day & Cole does not know what hit him but he does not let on to Mel that he is truly bothered by her new look and it is in a good way!
Mel wants to show Cole that she is more than his efficient, prim secretary, she wants to do more in the firm, assist with cases but Cole turns her down at every ask. When Cole needs sexy arm candy for an upcoming case, Mel does everything she can to persuade Cole to let her have the job, eventually wearing him down he gives in. Man do the sparks fly when they attend a black tie event where the case will go down. Cole acted like nothing changed, but oh has it soooo changed!
The rest of the book I will not give away because it will ruin it for everyone, the fun is in the not knowing & anticipation. The title speaks for itself and you will NOT be disappointed in the outcome for Cole & Mel! I loved this book & I could not put it down! You are not going to be able to put it down.

Really enjoyed this story as it was fast paced, characters chemistry was off the charts hot and the storyline was believable. Plus I’m loving how this series is shaping up and I’m intrigued to see what the go is with Noah and Natalie next
He swore he wouldn’t touch her, until it was impossible not to. Cole and Melodie have been tiptoeing around an attraction for years. For him it is a sense of repeat for her father for her she wants to be seen for the woman she is not a responsibility. Now when the two finally, after much seduction realize the attraction is too much their relationship be aimed scarier for Cole.
This book is going to rock your romance reading minds, because Melodie can Write some sexy letters. This book definitely lives up to it title Hot and Heavy and I can’t wait to see what else we get in the series.
Cole and Melodie were hot from the first kiss. And what a first kiss it was!! Cole is a stubborn set in his ways man who had to grow up too early. And doesn’t know how to take care of himself. While Melodie is a woman who knows what she wants, she just is t sure how to get it. But with the help from Joelle and Melodie’s inner strength she figures it out. The story to their happily ever after isn’t smooth but it is amazing. Watching them both grow and change for themselves for the better is amazing an beautiful. A wonderful summer read that is worth a million recommendations.
Melodie and Cole are two great characters. She’s been in love with him forever, he being a man thinks he’s not good enough for her so he ignores the feelings. Loved watching Melodie come into her own and Cole not knowing how to handle it. Great read!!!!!
This is Book 1 in The Some Like it Hot Series
This is the story of Cole & Melodie. Cole is a P.I. Melodie works for him. She’s been in love with him for twelve years, since she was sixteen years old when she first met him. She started working for him two years ago. He hired her as a favor to his father’s friend and mentor after his father passed away. Now she decides to do something about it. She has an idea that could kick start it all. Cole promised her father he would protect her. He’s been thinking about her as well for the past few months. Will he give in to her advances? How long can he hold out? This book is loaded with electricity between them. He’s leary about getting involved with Melodie because he is full of responsibly towards her because of her father. He has had responsibility from the time he was 21. He raised his two siblings. Attraction and anticipation is all over this book. It’s a great read from Erika Wilde.
This story was so good, Cole is such a alpha male who always has to be in control, Melodie is his sweet conservative office assistant and has always lusted after Cole. It was fun watching Cole loose his mind when Mel does a complete 180 and changes her appearance, the way she talks and starts on a course to make Cole loose his control. Office romance at it’s best.
Hot and Heavy by Erika Wilde was awesome. Cole and Melodie was amazing. Cole was Melodie’s boss and he swore not to touch her. Melodie has had a crush on Cole for a while now. Will the two be able to come together and have a hot and heavy relationship? Make sure to one click and find out. Erika does amazing with their story. I love Erika’s writing.
Terrific
Melodie and Cole’s story is terrific. She finally figures out a way to get Cole’s attention but will she get him to give in to his desire. Another hot and steamy book from this series can’t wait for the next one!
This is an appropriate name for this book! This is an office romance featuring Cole and Melodie. I loved it when Melodie came into her own and went after what she wanted! Which is Cole! Her boss! Loved the characters and the storyline. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
Cole and Melody. Wow. Just wow. This book was fantastically well done by Erika Wilde! I really enjoyed Melody’s transformation inside and out. She really grew into herself and the person she was meant to be. Loved that she went after exactly what she wanted when it came to the extremely stubborn and frustrating Cole!
Such a fun book to read and cannot wait for the next one in the series.
The second book in this series and is even better than the first. I really enjoyed these characters so dang much. Couldn’t put down at all once I started this. The author did a great job writing this and knowing how to keep you hooked on the story.
Melodie is Cole’s secretary and although he’s noticed her, he feels it’s wrong to be interested in her because of his loyalty to her father. Melodie has her sights set on him and with some help from his sister, she goes after what she wants. Cole has always done the right thing and taken care of everyone else but never made the time for himself. Now he wants Mel but has to work through his feelings and go after what he finally figures out he needs before it’s too late and he loses Melodie completely! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
This book is amazing. Melodie is a great match for Cole and I love their story and I can’t wait for Noah’s story. This book is romantic, steamy and fun to read. I received an advance reader copy in exchange of my honest review.
Book two in the Some Like it Hot series, and like the first, Erika Wilde delivered again. Cole and Melodie, a pair meant to be although it took some creative, super sexy actions by Melodie to break through the wall Cole had built. A hot, sexy, heat up your cheeks romance, guaranteed to please. I can’t wait for what’s next.
Terrific office romance with wonderful characters. The oldest of the Sommers family, Cole, is so use to taking care of his younger siblings and being the responsible one as head of their P.I. firm, that he’s turned into a boring guy. His terrific office admin, Melodie, has plans to change that as well as her boring life. Too long the good girl she’s ready to unleash her inner sex kitten to get the job of assisting Cole for a client and maybe have a chance with him. Her plan goes into high gear and it’s working but Cole is still resistance because of Mel’s father, his mentor. I love the Sommers family and their interesting P.I. firm. Cole is a boss and a sexy man especially when he unleashes on Melodie during her sweet and sexy seductions. Mel is fabulous as the sweet woman ready to get her man, take care of herself and advance at work. Loved her when she went out of her comfort zone as a sexy siren. This is an easy read with a sweet romance and sizzling chemistry between Cole and Mel. A good addition to this series about the Sommers family. I can’t wait for the next installment with the sexy flirt, Noah.

The books in this series just keep getting hotter.
Melodie and Cole are scorching!
I love that you get to catch up with the storyline and characters of the first book and get to anticipate the characters from the next book as well. All while learning so much more about these characters and having everyone else help them along the way.
Another great read from Ms. Wilde!
Let me just say I wanted Melodie and Cole’s story from the moment I started the first book in the Some Like It Hot series. Melodie has been in love with Cole for years, and Cole feels protective of her so much so, he protects her from himself. This work-place romance was total catnip for me!
Melodie has always been pretty prim and proper, but she wants to actually help out with the newest case, and not just stay the secretary. I love that she decided to mix things up and has a makeover to bring out the sexier side of herself that has always been there, just not in how she dressed. I do think the way Cole’s eyes just about popped out of his head, proved she took the right actions to kickstart a love affair.
Cole is such a honorable, responsible and protective person, and he always puts his needs on the back burner to make sure everyone around him gets what they need. I loved how he tried to fight his attraction to Melodie when she reinvented herself. The fact that he had been attracted to her when she was all prim and proper made me love him even more. Watching Cole fall was such fun! He and Melodie had scorching hot chemistry, and I absolutely loved them as a couple. Melodie seemed to be just the person Cole needed in his life to let go of all his responsibility once and while and just live for the moment.
Hot and Heavy is the perfect read for fans of scorching hot work-place romances. Ms. Wilde takes readers on a sexy and emotional roller coaster and I enjoyed every minute of the ride.

Take one workaholic boss who is fighting a growing attraction to his mentor’s daughter who also happens to be his secretary add in a secretary who wants to be more to her company and her boss and is tired of being the police officer’s good girl daughter add in a makeover and a job that requires a sexy distraction as a date mix it together boom you get an explosion.
Cole and Melodie are more than an explosion they are also very hot together. Cole is everything you want in a grumpy boss, hot and oh so bossy. Melodie is a good girl ready to break a little bad and if it finally wins her the job and the man she wants then that’s even better.
I loved this second book in the series it was hot and yummy and so satisfying.
