The Hot Spot by Niobia Bryant
This is a contemporary romance. This is a 'cougar' romance. This is also book 4 in the Strong Family series.
The main characters include bartender Zaria Ali and cowboy Kaleb Strong. Zaria's husband has divorced her for a younger woman. After a little bit, Zaria loses some weight and begins working as a bartender and decides to live life to the fullest. Zaria and Kaleb meet on a night that Zaria is working and they begin a sex relationship. They both feel like they a...more

Kaleb has officially become my favorite Strong man. Kaeden's was my favorite until I read this one. May/December romances are my absolute fav's and this one surely doesn't disappoint. Since Zaria was only 42 I don't know if I'll classify her as a cougar per say, but since she was 12yrs older than Kaleb I guess it fits. These two went together like peanut butter and jelly. You really didn't notice their age difference, but I guess it will always be an issue when the woman is older, and the man is...more

This novel The Hot Spot was written by one of my favorite authors under her "Love" pen name. I enjoyed this tale of love, family, business, and strength of Love. This book takes you to a place of Love and feeling of family and compassion. It is about a middle aged woman who has lost years of life and love and has to basically start over her life at 40. I feel in love with the colorful character of Zaria from the desciptions of her vibrant attitude, young girl clothes, and strong sex drive. The t...more

I really and truly enjoyed this story. The characters were both very believable, as was their first meeting and their love connection. I enjoyed reading the moments between the loving, which were the parts of her life that Zaria had committed to keeping to herself.
As a scorned and slightly bitter woman, Zaria had decided that men needed to be categorized. Her 'young men' were a favorite past time, meant for enjoying and then tossing aside. But as Zaria continues to spend ti...more

Really good story, but I can't help wondering why the author decided to make Zaria Kaleb's love interest instead of Deena? Especially since Zaria and Deena's stories were almost identical. I read this story immediately after finishing Give Me Fever (maybe not the best idea), so Deena's story was VERY fresh in my mind, which is I guess why the switch is so distracting. Nevertheless, the book was good. This series is my first introduction to the author and I have really enjoyed reading about those...more
The Hot Spot is SO HOT!!!!
This was a very cute and romantic story complete with hot and steamy moments and love. Even though this is the 4th romance in the Strong Brothers series, this was my first time reading one of the books in the series. This one was about Kaleb Strong. Although his love interest “Zaria” is 12 years older than he is, I really didn’t notice the age difference. There was instance chemistry between the two. This book, made me smile and almost shed a tear. So Sweet!

• Once again Niobia has written an entertaining storyline with realistic situations

• Good storyline of a woman who was heart-broken after many years of marriage and could not move on – kept trying to re-capture her youth – realistically done
• Very good supporting characters – the Strong family (you can feel the love and respect), loved Zaria’s twins

I read this in one day. Niobia Bryant is my new favorite romance author. This book is really good. I love all of the Strong brothers and Zaria was definately a character.
Never disappoints. Kaleb made the perfect tortured lover. Makes me want to go back and re-read the whole series....especially Kade and Garcelle..Now I have to wait for Kaitlyn to get hers.....
I love the Strong family series, and 'The Hot Spot' did not disappoint. I'll be patiently waiting for Kadina's story.
I was not in love with the beginning but the ending was nice
It was good, I like Kaeden's story the best so far, but it was good.
Hot in Holtsville series still sizzling : )
It was a good book. Im not as attached to Kaleb as I am the 3 older brothers but it satisfied my interest of what's going on with the gracious Strongs!!!
I love this book!

LOVED IT....Great story can't wait for Kaitlyn story.....and maybe there will be a story on the twins....
Cute love story pointing out that you don't have to try to be something different just because you feel like you missed out on opportunites before. You can still enjoy your freedom without trying to "prove" something. Zaria and Kaleb were such lovable characters, you couldn't help but want the best for both of them.
I Love the Strong clan. This was an excellent story filled with drama and romance. Kaleb shows that he loves hard and is a man's man. Zaria needed some time to grow up and act her age. But, once they got it together it was all good. Niobia has done it again.
