She has him just where she wants him…Joelle Sommers is very good at her job as a PI and bail recovery agent, but she’s definitely out of her element when she arrests sexy businessman Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity. Because unlike her usual fugitives, Dean is cooperative, accommodating, and hot as sin . . . and not at all guilty as charged. But this bad boy isn’t so innocent either, … innocent either, and she finds it increasingly hard to resist his seductive charm, and their mutual attraction.
After years of working himself to the point of having no life outside the office, Dean Colter is in the mood for an adventure. But being kidnapped by a gorgeous bounty hunter—one he discovers is into bondage, to boot—isn’t exactly what he had in mind. Still, it doesn’t take long for him to realize that being a willing captive has its advantages.
Jo might be the one with the handcuffs, but Dean’s about to discover the key to unleashing the passionate, uninhibited woman beneath the tough, stubborn facade. And when he does, all bets are off.

I enjoyed this read, it was fun and rather light.
Wilde’s writing flows and I connected with her style very much.
Jo and Dean had amazing chemistry and their meet-cute was hilarious and hot.
My only low point was the resolution at the end, it was a bit of an anti-climax, too spelled out, too predictable, left me a bit annoyed at Jo though I overall loved all the characters, even her serious overprotective brother Cole (who I am diving into next with Hot and Heavy (Some Like it Hot Book 2) ).
Joelle Sommers used to be a cop but because of a tragic event from her past, she now works as a PI and bail recovery agent for her brothers. Her assignment this time to go capture and return one Dean Colter, only the Dean Colter she captures and handcuffs is a big mistaken identity. What is so ironic is because of the hours he has been working Dean decided to finally take a much needed vacation to get his life back in order, to learn to breathe, & stop stressing. Only the vacation he gets is attached to one hot bails recovery agent!
This is a great read, the adventure between Joelle & Dean is one for the books. They are instantly attracted to each other, their chemistry is combustible, & the trip back from San Francisco to over the top. I loved this book & Erika Wilde did not disappoint!
funny and sexy
Great read.
The book definitely lived up to its title. It was both hot and sexy along with funny as well as touching. It was a great story that made you think about how fear and guilt can stunt your emotional growth and how family loyalty and overprotectiveness can delay your self worth and happiness. In the end love and self worth can get you through anything. I have always loved Erika’s stories. Until next time y’all happy reading.
The sex was very hot. But over all the book focused more on incidents that happened in the past than the mundane things happening as the story was being told. I like Cole’s book better and Noah’s is on par with this one. But the sex was miles better in this one.
Cute book
It started out good and then just got stupid. h was a former cop who made stupid decisions. I could not finish.
Dean and Jo
Some like it hot series starts off with a BANG I loved the premise of this book especially when it starts off with a mistaken identity and a hot, sexy, gorgeous bail recovery woman
Jo takes a case of bail recovery, but when she arrests Dean – he’s nothing like the criminals she usually takes on. He’s charming, accommodating and non-violent which has her questioning her orders especially when he gives her more than enough reason to proclaim his innocence Plus, there’s this pesky thing called attraction and chemistry that’s nipping at both of them
Loved Dean and Jo and I can’t wait to read the next book
Sexy, fun and action packed journey filled with engaging and exciting charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists, emotional thrills and undeniable passion. A great read that had me rapidly page turning from beginning to end.
Joelle Sommers used to be a cop but because of something from her past, she now works as a PI and bail recovery agent for her brothers. When Jo is tasked with driving to Seattle from San Francisco to capture and bring in a suspect that skipped bail she never expected to find the tall, sexy man that she has to cuff.
Dean Colter knows that this capture is a case of mistaken identity. The only thing he is guilty of is working too many hours without taking any time for himself. The ironic part was he was just leaving for his first vacation in three years when he was apprehended by the cute, petite and feisty female bounty hunter. Dean decides that this trip will be way more fun and agrees to go along peacefully.
As Jo and Dean spend time together, sparks start to fly. After Dean is able to successfully convince Jo of his innocence, things heat up pretty quickly. By the time these two arrive in San Francisco, it is obvious to Jo’s brothers that there is more going on between the two of them than they are letting on. Just when Dean thinks he has found his happy ever after, Jo’s past comes in between them. Jo will need to do some heavy soul searching if she wants a happy ending with Dean.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved the whole way that they met. What a great story to tell people! Overall this was a fun quick read that I really enjoyed.
I enjoyed reading Jo and Dean’s amazing story in Hot and Sexy by Erika Wilde, book one in her Some Like it Hot Series. Joelle, “Jo” Sommers was a good PI and bail recovery agent, but arresting Dean Colter in a case of mistaken identity makes her uneasy. Dean was too cooperative and accommodating, not to mention hot and sexy, and a businessman to boot. Transporting him across states these two discover a mutual attraction that is difficult to resist; especially having off the charts sizzling chemistry. It doesn’t take long for these two to fall for each other, unleashing passion as they get to better know each other.
Ms. Wilde wrote a wonderful, sexy story; filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters, giving Jo and Dean a way to be together and get the forever love neither expected to ever find. I definitely recommend Hot and Sexy to other readers and look forward to the next in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
This book had me right from the start! I love that Jo is the PI and Dean is the Bad guy! These two are perfect together. Both are stubborn and feisty. Their chemistry is explosive. It is a must have book. I can not wait to get my hands on ther next book! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author. Check this out and see for yourself!
Erika Wilde is back with another fun and sexy series with her Some Like It Hot series. Hot and Sexy was a great start to the series centered around the Sommers siblings. Up first is the youngest sibling Joelle Sommers, and I was hooked from the very first page.
Joelle Sommers is a former police officer turned PI and bail recovery agent who works with her brothers in their family PI business. Both of her older brothers are extremely protective of her so when she takes the bail recovery job to bring Dean Colter back, she knows she needs to make no mistakes. Jo is really a strong character, although she does seem to be vulnerable at times because of mistakes from her past. Dean Colter is a business man who has pretty much devoted the last several years of his life to the family business he inherited when his father died. When he is getting ready to head out on a much needed vacation, he is completely surprised to meet up with Joelle Sommers who immediately cuffs him and loads him into her car to drive him from Seattle to Oakland.
So I loved the attraction between Jo and Dean was obvious from the moment they laid eyes on each other. Seriously there was smoking hot chemistry between them from the very first. I loved the mistaken identity aspect of the story, and found myself laughing so many times as Jo and Dean made their trip to Oakland. Fans of super sexy and funny stories will absolutely love Jo and Dean’s story. I loved that Dean understood Jo in a way even her siblings didn’t get and it made me absolutely fall in love with this story.
Erika Wilde gives her readers another winner with Hot and Sexy and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.

Wow. When you get picked up for something you didn’t do and you fall for the person who arrested you. Dean was I his way to a vacation when he was picked up and arrested by Jo, a person who collects bail jumpers. This was a great read. I felt sorry for Dean from the beginning but then we caught a glimpse of who jo is and her story and then Dean’s story and what he is doing and why he may of been picked up. I really loved reading this story and I really really can’t wait for Cole’s story.
Dean and Joelles story in Hot and Sexy by Erika Wilde is a fun unique story that starts out as one big case of mistaken identity. WHOOPS is an understatement.
These two begin an adventure together when Dean realizes that Jo is serious when she’s snapping him in handcuffs.
This story is full of steam, lessons learned, moving on from their pasts together, and finding a happily ever after together in life.
This book is well written but please keep in mind this is a re-release of a previous book.
I cannot wait for the next installment in the series!
This book is an interesting story about mistaken identities, trust, and love. I like the characters and the story. This book is lovely, sweet and steamy. I really enjoy reading this book and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series. I received an advance reader copy in exchange of my honest review.
Hot and Sexy by Erika Wilde is hot and sexy. Joelle and Dean’s story is great. Joelle is a PI and very good at her job. Dean is the person she has to pickup but could she be grabbing the wrong person? Dean has no clue what is going on but he is hoping for a good time. Will they be able to overcome the mix up or will Joelle stick to her guns and resist the attraction they have. Make sure you one click this amazingly hot book. Erika does an amazing job like always.
I was really impressed with this story. Erica never fails to give you a story full of outstanding characters who you feel like you can connect with. Jo and Dean start off a little rocky because she thinks he is a felony she has been sent to take into custody. As the story unfolds he does a great job of helping her deal with her past as a police officer. I thought it was great that she was a Bail enforcement agent who is determined to show her brother that she has what it takes.
This is Book 1 of The Some Like it Hot Series.
This is the story of Dean & Joelle. Dean took over his father’s company, Colter Traffic Control, after his father’s death. Joelle is a PI and a bail recovery agent. This is a book of mistaken identity. I like the original story line. Thinking he is a criminal, Joelle takes him into custody. He played along, thinking his friend sent her for his birthday, and she was playing a role. As everything comes to a realization, on his and her part both, they form a bond. The electricity forms between them. They’re both trying to get beyond their pasts and move forward. There is a happy ending to this story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I’m looking forward to Book 2 in this series.
