The world’s sexiest firefighter is about to get a second chance with the virgin next door…
He’s bossy, arrogant, and so ridiculously hot he should come with a warning label and a pair of flame retardant coveralls.
He’s also the boy who broke my heart when we were in high school.
I want to move in next door to Ryan O’Dell the way I want to be the virgin gamer geek suddenly in charge of running my sister’s sex toy factory. Too bad both are written in my stars.
Yeah, I’m the world’s oldest virgin code-writing nerd.
And he’s the world’s hottest firefighter.
And even though he intimidates the heck out of me, I can’t seem to control my libido when he’s around.
Where is my dignity? My self-respect? My panties?
Seriously…. Have you seen them? Anyone?
Maybe they’re hiding in his bedroom. With my heart.
Yeah, I know. I’m hosed.
So hosed.
Hosed is a steamy, fun romantic comedy between a firefighter and the virgin nerd next door, complete with a pet raccoon, scandalous gossip, and dildo football. (No, really.) This romance has no cheating or cliffhangers, and ends with a banging hot happily ever after.
My review:
Firefighter Ryan responds to a fire at the local adult toy factory in his small town of Happy Cat. The owner, former child star Savannah, is away and her game developer sister Cassie is in charge in her absence. She is super uncomfortable with all the products, and can’t even bring herself to say the words. She recognizes Ryan right away as the guy who broke her heart in high school and vows to stay away from him. He can’t believe how much she has changed, has no idea he broke her heart, and is determined to go out with her. Throw in a clingy, kleptomaniac raccoon named George Cooney, an ex brother in law who likes sheep a little too much, and an arsonist, and life in this small Alabama town is anything but boring.
What I liked: This was hilarious! All the humor, dialogue, and “that just happened?!” you’d expect from a Pippa Grant book. Cassie is brilliant and hard working – she has to be in order to do her regular job remotely while keeping her sister’s company from going under despite heavy opposition from the conservative townspeople. Ryan is a good guy, too. He is locked into “protector” mode all the time, whether it’s for Cassie, his brothers, or the people in his town.
What I didn’t like: I can’t really think of anything
Overall: Hilarious. Sweet. Ryan and Cassie are adorable.
Pippa Grant is a stay-at-home mom and housewife who loves to escape into sexy, funny stories way more than she likes perpetually cleaning toothpaste out of sinks and off toilet handles. When she’s not reading, writing, sleeping, or trying to prepare her adorable demon spawn to be productive members of society, she’s fantasizing about chocolate chip cookies.
Lili Valente has slept under the stars in Greece, eaten dinner at midnight with French men who couldn’t be trusted to keep their mouths on their food, and walked alone through Munich’s red light district after dark and lived to tell the tale.
These days you can find her writing in a tent beside the sea, drinking coconut water and thinking delightfully dirty thoughts.
I read - a lot.
I write - not as much as I'd like.
Books are my passion and my constant companion. I started reading at age 4 and haven't stopped yet.
