Hot Zone Series 1. Hot Stuff  Reviews 2. Hot Number 3. Hot Item 4. Hot Property Reviews ... "A fun series."    —Knight-Ridder Newspapers   "This first book in The Hot Zone trilogy shines with Phillips trademark sizzle and sensuality. She delivers strong, appealing characters while exploring the dynamics of families—what brings them together and what draws them apart. The ending emotionally satisfies and gives readers a tantalizing peak at the romantic quandaries awaiting the rest of the family."    —Romantic Times (4 stars) " ... this breezy book will likely score a touchdown with readers looking for sexy thrills and instant gratification."    —Publishers Weekly "Carly Phillips writes another winner with HOT STUFF! The characters are wonderful, and the story is written with exceptional pacing. I was drawn into the family dynamics, with eager anticipation for future stories in this series. Also, the side story of Yank's love life, or lack thereof, was a really nice touch. This August Harlequin single title of Phillips' will be followed in August of '05 and '06 with HOT NUMBER and HOT ITEM. Be certain to visit Ms. Phillips' website in order to find out more about this series, and other upcoming titles by this prolific New York Times Bestselling author."    —Robin Taylor, Sizzling Romance "HOT STUFF is another hot, sexy novel penned by the masterful Carly Phillips. The storyline is riveting and the sex is electric. I cannot wait to read the next novel in this series. It is going to be a lot of fun to read about Sophie, Micki and Lola finding their own men to love."    —Dawn Myers, Writers Unlimited "The chemistry sizzles the pages, and the little bit of mystery thrown into play makes the story all the more enjoyable. Ms. Philips trademark of spunky heroines and sexier-than-should-be-allowed heroes is very evident in this latest book. Look for the next two books, sisters Sophie and Michelle's stories, coming soon."    —Kari's Korner, loveromances.com "The romance is hot and spicy but it is Ms. Phillip's lovely characterization that makes HOT STUFF a savory treat to be read more than once."    —DK, Rendevous "Carly Phillips new book, HOT STUFF, is the first story of the Jordan sisters. It is sassy, sexy, and fun in true Phillips style. Right from page one, you will be grabbed into the story and not released from it until the very last page. Another winner from this bestselling author, HOT STUFF is sure to be another Carly Phillips classic."    —Brooke Wills, RomanceJunkies.com "Carly Phillips introduces readers to a whole new family of delightful characters with HOT STUFF. This novel is particularly adept at portraying characters that change and grow from chapter to chapter. The layers of their personalities are revealed so cleverly that by the end of the book, the reader is left with a thorough understanding of these two complex individuals. Perhaps the most endearing part of this book (without giving away the story), involves the author's painfully accurate portrayal of life struggles experienced by adults with learning disabilities. She points out that money, success, and happiness are not out of reach for individuals with dyslexia. She does this beautifully, with sensitivity, understanding, and humor.   This book reminded me of the early Chandler brother series—it has the same warmth, family values, and well-written dialogue that have made those books classics. As always, the romance sizzles and builds deliciously. HOT STUFF is a book for the beach, one of those that you'll continue reading into the night, until it is finished. You won't be sorry!"    —Jeri Neal, The Romance Readers Connection "Carly Phillips' opening period is a Superbowl victory for readers..."    —Harriet Klausner "An enjoyable story to kick off not only a new trilogy but also Harlequin's new HQN line, HOT STUFF is a surefire hit."    —Jennifer Bishop, Romance Reviews Today "I could not put HOT STUFF down, from the minute I started until I went to bed at 2am. Not only will you love Brandon and Annabelle, but also the cast of secondary characters including Annabelle's sisters, Yank and Lola the woman who helped Yank raise the girls when they came to live with him. I think that HOT STUFF definitely should be put on your must buy list."    —Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews "HOT STUFF is an awesome story filled with family dynamics, loyalty, mystery, fear, and too many more emotions to list. Before they can attain a happily ever after, Brandon and Annabelle must learn to let go of their deepest fears and trust each other completely. Their emotions combined with the host of secondary characters, makes this one of the most realistic books I've read. Ms. Phillips dedicates this book to her family and then goes on to introduce us to a family that is so genuine it is uncanny. I look forward to better getting to know the rest of the family, and seeing where she takes us with the cliff-hanging romance of Yank and his long time secretary Lola."    —Missy Andrews, Fallen Angels Reviews
