Too Hot to Handle by Tessa BaileyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
At 28, Rita is at a crossroads. She has always been compared to her famous chef mother and found lacking. So when her mother's restaurant burns to the ground, she decides it's time to do something else. One of her mother's last wishes was her children to jump in the Ocean in Coney Island NYC on New Year's Day. So Rita and her somewhat estranged sibling go on a road trip to NYC.
Jasper has a reputation as the town bad boy. He is trying to overcome that reputation and has been a respectable bar owner for the last several years. He is also building a restaurant next to his bar. He comes to the Clarksons's aid when they break down just outside his town's limits.
It is instant love for Jasper when he meets Rita. I liked them together, but Rita was a bit annoying. For 28, she read younger. Anyway, they fall in love after 3 days.
I am interested in Aaron's story, maybe Peggy and Belmont too. We shall see.
