P.I. Cole Sommers might be able to barely resist her sexy new attitude and flirtatious behavior, but when she takes a cue from his current case and decides to seduce Cole’s mind with highly … with highly provocative letters, she knows his body won’t be very far behind . . .
Cole is definitely in over his head. He’s got more cases than he can handle, but all he can think about is taking his secretary to bed, turning her over his knee, and showing her what happens to naughty girls who don’t behave. 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.

Wow. Did Cole fight his way through this book. Melodie was awesome. I was cheering her on as she went for what she wanted and she literally dragged Cole kicking and screaming into it all. I loved these characters and knew it wasn’t going to do him any good carrying on the way he was. I think she should of put up a little ore though because I think it would of Been fun if she didn’t answer The door to him. Can Cole forget the past? Loved this book and I can’t wait for third book. Boy are these women giving the men a run for their money.
Hot and Heavy is the second in Erika Wilde’s Some Like it Hot series. After reading the first in series, Hot and Sexy, I was very much looking forward to Cole and Melodie’s romance.
EW doesn’t disappoint with another steamy, fun romance. I did love the grumpy, hot boss and his assistant. Hot and Heavy is an enjoyable office romance that I couldn’t put down.
Hot and Heavy by Erika Wilde is book Two in the Some Like it Hot Series. This is the story of Cole Sommers and Melodie Turner. I have read the previous book which did add to my enjoyment of this one but I thought it can be a standalone book. Cole had to step up to take care of his younger siblings so he has always been a protector. Of course now they are adults but he still doesn’t stop his protective instincts. So when his mentor ask that he be protective of Melodie who would be his assistant he of course took that role very seriously. Now a few years later, the PI business is busy and Cole is finding it harder and harder to not act on his desire for Melodie. Melodie has had feelings for Cole from the start but wants him to see her for more than his assistant…she would even like to help him on his case. So when he is in need of a female partner on a case she acts on it by starting to make changes on the outside to make him become aware of her and hopefully someone he can’t turn away from. Really enjoyed this steam read! I can’t wait to read more from this author!
Erika Wilde captivates in this flirty, fabulous, sexy and smoldering tale! Throw in some legit hilarious banter, enough steam to raise your blood pressure…Cole and Melodie’s slow-burn love story is the PERFECT way to spend a few hours of “me” time!
Melodie Turner can’t remember a time when she WASN’T in love with Cole Sommers…and since she’s been working for him as his secretary for two years, things have just gotten more, shall we say, interesting? Cole has no clue whatsoever how his dependable secretary feels about him. He DOES feel an attraction to her but shuts down THOSE thoughts immediately. After all, Melodie is his mentor’s daughter and he CAN’T cross that line! When Melodie has finally had enough and decides to go after what she wants, the results are EXPLOSIVE!!!
Hot and Heavy is the second standalone in the Some Like it Hot series and I LOVED it! This is pure Erika Wilde at her best!
Heart racing, action packed and sexy adventure filled with thrilling and engaging charters, witty banter, exciting twists and impossible to resist passion. Was a edge of your seat read from beginning to end and so hard to put down.
Hot and Heavy is exactly what this book is… I couldn’t put it down. Cole is the sexy, alpha boss that is always in control until Mel is his assistant makes him lose control as they get involved in a super hot office romance that neither of them saw coming! I enjoyed this read and highly recommend it!
Hot and Heavy is exactly that. Hot and Heavy.
From the first book, I figured Cole would be hard headed and a tough nut to crack. Little did I know how tough. Melodie has the patience of a saint or a saintly sinner.
Even though these two characters appear to be opposites, they are actually very much alike. They are both caring, responsible, and very passionate.
As always, there some extremely humorous moments thrown in by the author that help break up some of the tension.
This story is super sexy and I look forward to Noah’s story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.
This was a great read and Erika Wilde has not disappointed with a wonderful story for Cole and Melodie. This story was so good and it was real. I could not put the book down. I love to see that melodie gets help from Jo and Cole talking to her father. I love how everyone is in the story and can not wait for Noah’s story. I love when series keep you up to date with others in the series.
I loved the transformation of Melodie in this book. The off limits attraction is more than just her boss. Cole is also one of her father’s respected friends. Cole views Mel as totally off limits because of her father but his attraction simmers just under the radar. That is until Melodie decides she is the right person for a job at their agency and for Cole. She pulls out all the stops and Cole can’t resist. What I loved about these two is their determination. Cole is on the losing end of that however since he wants to resist Melodie. I can’t wait for Noah to fall as well.
Hot and Heavy definitely lives up to its title.
Cole Summers and Melodie Turner make the pages sizzle in this second book in the Some Like Hot Series.
The PI boss and the ever efficient secretary, their burning desire that has been hidden from each other for sometime comes to life, but can a man who has become a devout bachelor be what the selfless and loving women of his desires wants him to be? Will his past and his obligations to others stand in his way and hers of having what they both desire?
Erika Wilde has has put together the brooding sexy hot alpha male and the quietly shy good girl with a twist of change and seductiveness perfectly.
This book has all the heat, angst and emotions you could ask for and is a must read.
This is Book 2 in the “Some Like It Hot” series and I was glued to my kindle from the very beginning with the good character and storyline development that kept me totally engaged in Cole and Melodie’s story as it unfolded!
The story really matches the title! what a great and sexy story!
Man this book was freaking HOT. Melodie has been the loyal assistant “ good girl” FOREVER. She wants Cole and she wants to work on this new case. I love how she entices his mind with the letters. I love Noah..what a charmer. There was a connection between Cole and Mel that was undeniable. Cole could fight it all he wants but he is going to lose. My heart broke for Mel a little when she had that talk with her Dad and found some things out but Erika ALWAYS gives me the HEA I long for in my books and makes you anxiously await the next book. I love that she curses Noah…that cracked me up.
Holy smokes! This story was HOT, HOT, HOT! I loved Melodie’s transformation and her take charge attitude after spending her life being the quintessential good girl. Cole never stood a chance. Such a fun story to read.
*I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book*
Loved this story. I was pulled in on the first page and fell for this couple. The connection between them was so easy to feel while reading. Cole was determined to stay single but Melodie was just as determined to make him realize she was the right woman for him. Will it work? Hot, steamy and oh so good. Be sure to pick this one up but keep a fan near by!
Cole Sommers has always done the right thing. He dropped everything when his Dad died to take care of his younger brother and sister. Now that they’re all adults, they work together as Private Investigators in a firm that Cole heads up. This man is all work and no play. Two years ago, Cole agreed to hire the daughter of his father’s Sergeant as their Secretary.
For two years, Melodie Turner has been a great employee and the subject of Cole’s fantasies. Since Melodie’s father asked him to look out for her, he’s kept a hands off approach. When a case comes up that requires Cole to have a sexy female companion with him, Melodie wants the job, but Cole’s not having it. On the outside, Melodie might look prim and proper, but inside is a woman’s who’s had her own fantasies about Cole since she started at the firm.
To convince Cole it should be her; Melodie sets out to change her outside appearance, while setting her desires in motion. Cole does everything he can do to resist, but finds himself losing the battle. What will Melodie’s father say if he finds out that Cole has been lusting after his daughter? Will Melodie be able to pull off this job to get the information they need for their client? Will Cole finally admit that he needs a woman in his life to make it more complete? The sparks between these two just fly off the page.
I enjoyed reading Cole and Melodie’s amazing story in Hot and Heavy by Erika Wilde, book two in her Some Like it Hot Series. Being the boss, Cole relied on dependable employees and knew his prim and proper sectary was the best; hard working, putting in 110% or more. Melodie crushed on her boss for years and was tired of being ignored. Melodie gets a make-over and takes on a new flirty attitude, as she tries to convince Cole to let her assist with her current case. Taking a cue from that case, she writes very provocative and suggestive letters to Cole; hoping to convince him to take her to bed. Cole is overwhelmed between having more cases than he can handle and wanting to take his secretary to bed. Melodie is taunting him, teasing him, making his burn for her but he promised her father that he would protect her; which makes her off-limits, even from himself. Cole just hadn’t counted on Melodie’s irresistible, sensual assaults nor the off the charts chemistry these two share. Melodie is hoping to soften his heart and lose it to her.
Ms. Wilde wrote a wonderful, sizzling story; filled with off the charts chemistry, intense dialogue, steamy letters, and charming characters, giving Cole and Melodie a chance at a love and a future together. I definitely recommend Hot and Heavy to other readers and look forward to the next in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
I loved how Melodie went after what she wanted. It was interesting how she went about changing from a quiet, submissive woman to a bad girl, sexy woman. It was funny how the change affected Cole. Cole is such a good guy and has taken care of his brother and sister as well as others he cares for. Even though he is a handsome guy, he is too serious. He also feels such a debt to Melodie’s father, he can’t see what’s in front of his face! This is a steamy book that I encourage you to read. I was given a copy of the book and voluntarily wrote a review.
