Can desperation make you delusional?I flew across the country with one goal in my mind…. finish my book…. and perhaps lick the wounds of my shredded heart. My editor was screaming for the first draft, my agent was nagging for teasers, and my publisher was reminding me that my strict deadline was only weeks away. However, there was a dilemma: I had writer’s block. Not a little spanner thrown … little spanner thrown into the works writer’s block. Writers. Block.
Just as I was about to call in defeat, I spotted him. The bearded, tattooed man who lives in the glasshouse next door. He was in a venereal, lust-filled twist with a pretty blonde who had buxom bosoms and legs that went for miles.
I should have looked away. I should have respected his privacy. I should NOT have taken detailed dot points on his impressive technique, well-carved physique, and droplets of sweat running down his tattooed torso.
However, each precise thrust of his hips had words flowing quicker than I could write them.
He was my inspiration.
My muse.
My next alpha male book boyfriend.
Everything was perfect…. until the bearded man spotted me spying on him.
Author Note: Although this is part of the Enigma Series it can be read as a standalone.

I am glad I got this book. Kept reading till I finished.
Loved reading this story… it was a really interesting storyline not just a romance but a real storyline… enjoyed it
I would give this book 10 stars if I could – I couldn’t put it down – read it start to finish in several hours. Paige is on deadline – but has writers block. She’s renting a cabin to get to work (and to avoid her cheating ex). Good thing her neighbor lives in a glass house and has no problems having sexy times with a different girl each night – all of which is fuel for Paige’s stories. Paige’s voyeurism (what she sees her neighbor doing) is steamy hot – she becomes friends with her neighbor – add some techno gadgets from him, some laugh-out-loud moments and some sizzling hot scenes – and you’ve got yourself an irresistible book! Can’t wait to read more by Shandi Boyes.
This book was a slow burn that you never wanted to end. I really enjoyed the characters and their banter as well as their connection. There was the perfect balance of adventure and romance that always kept you hooked.
Whew. The strong, silent, top, is hot. And Hunter was no exception. Sweet beginning, hot middle, romantic ending. Lovely story.
I really, really loved this book!! Hunter was smart, cunning and a great dirty talker!! Paige was a funny, witty and lovable writer!! It was a real steamy read!! Would recommend to any reader that loves a good strong hero, that has some if the best dirty talk I’ve ever heard.

Good story.
Paige has writers block and she can’t seem to get past it. She takes a trip for a change of scenery hoping it will help. And it certainly does help. She accidentally spies her hot tattooed alpha male neighbor having s*x. This jump starts her writing. As she watches his escapades each day she struggles to get it all written down. Then she gets caught in the act and the sparks fly. Hunter sets his sights on Paige and things get super entertaining. This book was good but towards the end Paige’s character changed and it was a little disappointing. Overall I enjoyed the story and recommend this book.

Another great Shandi Boyes Hot! Hot and Steamy is only the beginning. Paige is a writer who has been living voyeurishly through watching her neighbor Hunter. She’s not really ready to meet him face to face but, of course that does happen! This was a fantastic read!
I received an ARC from Booksprout in exchange for an honest review
She had writers block which was not good as she needed to get her book finished. It was not helped by a cheating boyfriend so she moved and then she spotted them. She wrote what they were up to but she is soon spotted by him. What will he do? See how she will get on

Got to admit I hated the beginning when Paige stalks and watches “Archer” with woman after woman after woman having sex, changing partners nightly for six weeks.
Told in Paige’s POV only, I never really knew what made Hunter tick even though the author does reveal his character and personality bit by bit.
Very compelling and original storyline that was well written with great pacing. Great intimate scenes and some drama dealing with Paige’s secrets as well as a few of Hunter’s as well.
Definitely recommend this intriguing romance that kept me guessing till the end.

I received this as an arc and it was my first time reading this author. I loved every page. I actually found the idea intriguing. Spying on somebody’s sex life would definitely unblock my writers block! I fell in love with Hunter’s character when I knew him as Archer. In the beginning I was a little confused about Paige’s age, at times I thought she was a middle aged woman but that changed once Archer (Hunter) finally introduces himself. This book was so good full of many twists and turns that make it a panty melting delicious read. Definitely a favorite of 2018 for me
Just read it it is great!
This is my first book of Shandi Boyes and I instantly fell in love with the writing style. This story gave me so many different emotions. I loved the way main characters interact with each other. There is a lot of mystery and things not said. A lot of assumptions because of lack of proper communication. But this is how it goes when one is so closed and hurt that cannot overcome what happened in the past. From total strangers, through stalking, friendship to lovers. Will they be able to overcome lies, heartbreak and hurt? Is there a chance for them to be together?
