Hot Holidays

This set of books tells the story of Ellie and Adrian and their developing relationship through 3 holidays. THE MISTLETOE GAME Ellie had gone to an adult club and was stood up by her boyfriend and was sent a picture of him and another women in bed. She was upset and drinking and agreed to participate in the club’s Mistletoe Game, not really knowing what it was. Adrian works cyber security but was at the club and intrigued by Ellie so he arranged to be matched with Ellie to play the sexy game. Her now ex boyfriend show up and taunts her so she agrees to the games and Adrian and her ex end up fighting and they get kicked out of the club. Ellie finds Adrian handsome, sexy, and very arrogant but she ends up going home with him. Will they ever see each other again after Christmas with their families? A BANGING NEW YEAR Adrian goes with his younger sister as a chaperone to a club to celebrate New Year’s Eve because he knew Ellie would be there. Ellie is there with her best friend and the friend’s boss and Adrian joins them and they all drink a lot and make crazy bets. Ellie thinks Adrian is only flirting with her and she doesn’t want to get involved with another cheating alpha male but she ends up going home with him. Adrian ends up in a fight with Ellie’s ex and now she has to move from the apartment that she and the ex had shared. Will Ellie accept Adrian’s offer to stay with him temporarily? CUPID’S MISFIRE Things seem to be going okay with Ellie and Adrian living together but Ellie is still afraid that this is only a rebound relationship and they are moving too fast. He ends up leaving on Valentine’s Day because she won’t trust him to not cheat like her past boyfriends. Can Ellie learn to trust her heart or will she let Adrian go? I loved and highly recommend this book about 2 people who came together at an adult club and had to see if this would result in a lasting relationship. The author did a great job showing Ellie’s insecurities and fears about a new relationship when her last 3 years had been spent with someone who turned out to be a cheater. She was afraid Adrian would cheat and had to learn to trust her heart. Adrian had grown up with 6 sisters and that helped him to understand more about how women thought and he remained remarkably patient in his relationship with Ellie while reassuring her that all men cheat. It was fun seeing their relationship develop from purely physical to much more. The last chapter was a perfect ending for their story.
