Hot on His Heels

Every love story has a twist, this one might just have one of the most surprising reveals of them all. I have been in love with the What Happens in Vegas series from the very beginning. A behind the scenes look at romance conventions and the interactions of would be writers, fans and editors alike as they converge on the sexiest, riskiest and entertaining place in the world is a real treat to a romance fan like me. Hot on His Heels by Margo Bond Collins mixes the naughty with a fresh and fun sweetness to create a different kind of romance. Mystery and comedy blend together to offer an unforgettable love story. It appeals to the romantic in everyone, including undercover male readers. (Wink, Wink)

This was a really fun read. I really enjoyed the story and Margo Bond Collins created fun and engaging characters. I find interesting how Sadie and Jake are hiding behind something, needing to get tenure and an overbearing brother. While there were times I really wanted to smack Sadie on the forehead and remind her not to miss the forest for the trees, I connected with her instantly. I'm pretty sure I am Sadie a lot of time. I liked her complexity. I do many of the same things, like talking to myself, in my head and out loud. Collins did a great job of creating characters that balanced each other out. Jake also complex, but still easy to relate to. Family is very important, but they also shouldn't hold you back. Although, I am pretty sure, part of the problem was Jake not wanting to take a risk. He was safe in the box he created for himself. But anyone that yummy shouldn't be kept in a box! Overall this was a really fun and lighthearted story that I enjoyed!

This book was a quick novella. Sadie is a professor attempting to make tenure by interviewing a female erotica editor for her research. Jake has been hiding his identity as an erotica editor to protect his family. This was a cute story. I liked the nods to the typical things you find in romance novels and the quotes weaved throughout the story. There were some inconsistencies in the story though and that took away from the story a bit. *I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*
