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.

Jo has no time for bs and Dean is along for the ride. Neither would imagine the ride to prove his alleged innocence would change their lives forever.
This is a short and sexy read that will definitely leave you wanting more. I really enjoyed this story, even though there were some elements that were hard to ignore (a bounty hunter going solo on an interstate retrieval?). Insta love/quick love isn’t a favorite trope either yet I was able to enjoy this book and this is a testament to Ms. Wilde’s writing skills. I am curious about the rest of the characters that were introduced in this story. I definitely want to read about Jo’s older brothers. All in all, a solid and entertaining read (if you’re willing to suspend disbelief).
Mistaken identity and following your instincts lead to a hot road trip. I love how Erika Wilde can create a family of characters that I can get behind. Jo has had a career change to be a bail bondsman with her brothers. They feel the need to protect her at all times but that job doesn’t lend well to that. Her determination to prove them wrong might be her undoing.
Dean has some tough decisions of his own. His company was his father’s and he never wanted it but finds himself running it like his father did. His insight into her life is so clear when his own is muddy. I so enjoyed them and how they interact and supported each other
This is definitely one if my favorite books bu this author for sure. I absolutely loved and enjoyed Joelle and Dean’s story so dang much. I just couldn’t get enough of these two at all.
Such a beautiful story!!!
I loved this book so much!!! A woman in bail recovery and a man that doesn’t know he’s wanted.
Joelle is the perfect kind of character, with strength and determination, while still a little damaged that doesn’t realize how truly strong she is. And Dean is a man who has fallen into a life that he doesn’t want. When the two of them meet the chemistry is instant and magnetic. I loved their trip and the things that happen while they are on it. They both realize things about themselves that helps them grow. But will they grow to not only want but love each other. Well I’ll let you read this awesome story to find out.
Man, Hot and Sexy was such a fantastic book that I wanted more the minute I finished it, and am totally willing to beg for it. Joelle is a former cop turned PI who does work for bail bond companies. Dean is a workaholic man with no personal life to speak of, and his life is pretty boring until Joelle comes across his path. She mistakes him for someone else, so she has taken him into her custody, which starts not only a hilarious journey, but one with all kinds of heat. They’re complete opposites, and yet, perfect for each other, but there’s that little complication of her thinking he’s a criminal. How does it all play out you may ask, and I will answer by saying hit those one click buttons immediately. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!
Terrific!
Jo a former cop, now works at her brothers PI and Bail bonds business. She’s going to prove she always gets her man but a case of mistaken/stolen identity leads her to Dean and they definitely heat up the sheets! Absolutely love this first book in a new series by Erika Wilde you definitely don’t want to miss it!
Erika Wilde turned up the heat with this new series, reminiscent of the Marriage Dairies and I loved it! Dean and Joelle have that instant chemistry that is palpable, leaping off the page, into your imagination. Strong, determined woman, meet strong, alpha male equals a respectful, yet very naughty pairing. Cannot wait to read the next story in the Some Like it Hot Series
I would consider myself a longtime Erika Wilde reader. I look forward to reading each new EW release. Hot and Sexy is the first in the Some Like it Hot series. I loved that this was a case of mistaken identity. Jo and Dean are some of my favorite EW characters. Hot and Sexy is a fun, hot, and sweet read.
The storyline was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were created with such great detail and depth that I was totally engaged throughout the entire book! The chemistry between the characters was so HOT that I couldn’t stop turning the pages until the very end!
Joelle is determined to prove she is good at her job period. Her brothers just need to trust her. Taking the job bringing in bail jumper Dean Colter will do just that …or will it???
Dean Colter is just off for a week vacation to think about his next step in life when sexy Joelle arrests him. Now he has to prove to Joelle that he isn’t that man.
Their chemistry is off the charts with these two!
This book totally does justice to its title. It’s definitely Hot, Sexy and Steamy. Love EVERYTHING about it
A case of mistaken identity leads to off the charts chemistry and a deeper connection that goes so much further.
Even in the short amount of time they spend together, Dean gives Joelle the ability to believe in herself again with his confidence and belief in her.
Great story.
Just like the title infers Hot and Sexy is just that hot and sexy. Dean is in dire need of a vacation and break from the life he has been living for the last few years. Jo needs to move forward and stop letting the past define her present and future and to prove to her brother her place in his PI and bail recovery business.
When a case of mistaken identity on both sides (Dean thinks Jo’s a stripper and Jo thinks Dean is a bail skip) leads to a multiple day road journey back to San Francisco both of them begin to question their lives and what they want. The only thing that is really clear is their attraction and pull to each other.
I really liked Hot and Sexy. It had a great balance of heat and feels as well as characters that you really wanted to see them happy.
What a ride! The first book in the Some Like It Hot series is fire!
I found myself smiling from beginning to end while reading Dean and Jo’s story. There were a few serious moments, but for the majority of the book it was romantic comedy at it’s finest.
The writing is quick witted and the story is fast paced. I honestly read from cover to cover without a break. I didn’t want to miss what was gonna happen next.
I’m soooo looking forward to the next installment in this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed and ARC of this book.
This book defensively lives up to its title~ HOT AND SEXY This romance has a bit of a twist, mistaken identity for her and stolen identity for him find them on a path only fate could have put them on. She is trying to prove she can do anything her brothers can, hold her own and show she is stronger than they think. Jo’s job is to retrieve the bail jumper and bring him to justice.
Dean needs to get away and find some life balance, he never expected that his trip would lead to being held in handcuffs and taken by a beautiful woman.
Fate is often used as an explanation or well, how I perceive it for the romance and how it evolves in romance novels. This book had that and so much more.sexy and steamy Jo and Dean light up the pages along with my imagination. A five star read!
Jo is a bounty hunter who is sent to capture a fugitive named Dean Colter. But there’s a mistake here and Dean isn’t really the fugitive, thanks to having his identity stolen. Regardless, Jo has to take him in to get his name cleared. In the meantime, the two have gotten close, real close! They both are living their life on hold but for different reasons and it takes this case of mistaken identity for them to each come to the realization of what they need to move forward and to come together forever. Quick read with wonderful characters that will have you turning pages to see what happens next and some great laughs along the way! I’m new to Ms. Wilde’s books but I’m really looking forward to more! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
This book was a good start to a new series. I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this one because it was a new series but I have come to love everything that Erika Wilde has done so it was basically a no-brainer. I think it was a great start to a new series. I really liked Jo as a character because it was kind of nice to see the woman be the hard-ass and closed off emotionally. We don’t see that enough. And Dean was great as well. He kind of just went with the flow of everything even though he could have made the trip more difficult or even pressed charges. Their banter with each other was fast paced and witty and the sexual tension was off the charts. Though I will say the ending was kind of cheesy. But sometimes that happens. I am looking forward to the next books in the series about Jo’s brothers. I’m sure those will be just as good.
*I received an ARC for an honest review*
A steamy new series
I have been a fan of Erika Wilde’s book, especially the Players Club series. Hot and Sexy is the first book in her Some Like It Hot series. SMOKING HOT!! This story focuses on Joelle Sommers, a strong heroine as a former cop turned PI for missing cases. A chance bail recovery assignment puts Dean Colter in her sights. What transpires is an amazing chemistry between two workaholics, as she tries to bring him back in.
This book did not disappoint this reader. As with her other books, the storyline is believable, the banter between the main characters engaging and the chemistry is so steaming hot that I swear that steam radiates from the pages. A highly anticipated read, this book set a strong foundation for the rest of the series.
Erika Wilde has not disappointed with this new series and the hotness. Jo and dean end of meeting each other under mistaken identity and it is great and funny at times. When Dean mistakes jo for a stripper instead of the bounty hunter she is. I could not put this book down. Seeing if they can work through their past is great. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Hot n Sexy is book 1 in the Some Like It Hot series by Erika Wilde, released previously as Wicked Seduction rewritten and improved!
