NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Hothead by Stella Rhys




Title: Hothead
An Irresistible Series Standalone
Author: Stella Rhys
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 3, 2018



Blurb

He's the hottest player in Major League Baseball, the most notorious playboy in all of Manhattan...

And my fake fiancé for the next three months.

I was drunk-dialing my ex the night I met him.

Six-three, sexy as sin and so incredibly rude I could smack the asshole smirk right off his face. Long story short, we got off to a bad start. But when the tabloids interpret our sparring as Drew Maddox "groveling" with a "mystery brunette," his agent presents us both a proposal:

Shacking up as a couple this summer.

It’s an alleged “win-win.” I need to prove to my ex that I'm fine. Drew needs to prove to his team that he's stable. Thanks to his on-field brawling and never-ending lady drama, Drew Maddox has suddenly found himself on the trade block - which means he needs a fast, easy way to show the team that he's settled down.

Hence this fiancé thing. 

Our fights are real, our kisses are fake, and thanks to the nonstop heat between us, I’m starting to mix up all my signs. But whether it’s real or fake, there’s one thing I do know:

I’m already addicted.


Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Gaaahh! Completely adored this story!! Funny, angsty, and super HAWT! 

"If any one person deserved to be the picture next to the Oxford definition of masculinity, it was definitely this prick right here."

Evie Larsen believes in love. In spite of a rough upbringing and a recent painful breakup, she still believes in love and a HEA. An annoying run-in with the bad boy of baseball gets her all hot and bothered. Insane chemistry aside, she knows better than to give in to him.

Drew Maddox is a cynic. He believes all good things turn sour. He doesn't believe in love. He has few true friends and a family he can't stand. His one true love is baseball. It's his sole focus. However, his bad boy ways and bad press have put his career on the line. He needs to clean up his act. 

"She was both my problem and my solution, and I was pretty sure I hated her for it."

One chance encounter with a sexy little firecracker is spun into a promising publicity stunt. Neither Drew nor Evie can deny that a fake relationship might be advantageous to them both. They just need to keep things businesslike and their hands off each other. However, that's easier said than done when there's serious mutual attraction between them.

"While I prided myself on having no limits, I'd apparently found my first one. Resisting this damned woman."

Wowzers! I've read the previous book in this series, Dirty Deeds, and thought it was fabulous! Once again, the author brings her own brand of sexiness and humour to this novel, and I absolutely adored it!

Drew is cocky and brash, and one hot-blooded alpha! I loved how much he wanted Evie, and how hard he tried to fight it. I liked that he didn't just grab his opportunity when it was presented to him on a platter, and that underneath his playboy façade lurks a decent heart. Evie absolutely tested his self-control! 

"The way she seeped into my skin and got into my head was everything I never wanted, but at this point I was too lost in her to stop it."

Evie was so hung up on her previous boyfriend due to their long history, however, there's no denying the sizzling desire between her and Drew. I loved her character! She was sassy, confident, and didn't put up with any of his nonsense. I loved how she challenged him. He'd really met his match in her. 

This was a fabulous read with great characters, amusing dialogue, and just the right amount of angst. Evie and Drew together were so swoony!! Thoroughly recommend!
