REVIEW: Posted at Two Lips Review
Hot Water is a gloriously poetic novel that begins in the style of Contemporary Chick Lit but rapidly branches out into philosophy and metaphysics, and into allegory and metaphor. Hot Water truly has the capacity to melt the most jaded, cynical, ice-block heart. Hot Water is a glorious precious gem of a story, one which transforms ugly routine reality into a faceted diamond catching the light. No reader, male nor female, is going to resist this one; it fully deserves best-seller status. Read on...

Romance: B(u)y the Book

A disillusioned Midwestern housewife desperately needs respite from her aggressive husband and stifled existence. She indulges in a secret weekend at a spa in the California hills, where she engages the services of a handsome young male escort. Read on...

HOT WATER is the ultimate woman’s fantasy. A Minnesota woman escapes her stifling life for a weekend at a secluded spa resort in the California desert. She rents a red Lamborghini and hires a male escort who turns out to be more than she could dream.

When you flirt with fantasy,
you risk falling in love...
