Sometimes what you think you want and what you need are two very different things.

As a technical editor, Jeffrey Maddox deals with plenty of words, leaving him few to spare on people, except his baby sister. To keep Daisy from wrecking her newly rehabbed life by shacking up with her older, married lover Lonny, he impulsively texts Lonny’s wife, Karyn. And then meets her at...more

Cari Quinn’s, Hot Text, is most certainly that, a very hot read. This is a story of two average, everyday normal people who meet under some unusual circumstances and then proceed to light the sheets on fire.

Jeff Maddox, the hero of this story, is a technical book editor, but also a meddlesome older brother with a bad attitude and a bit of a recluse. When Ms. Quinn first introduced this character, I wasn't sure this guy was my idea of...more

Jeff really hates his sister new loser boyfriend. For a start the man is a jerk but his opinion isn’t improved by the fact the man is still married. When he sees that said loser has left his phone at his baby sister’s house, he takes the chance to text the man’s wife to try to convince her to get him to keep his hands to himself. Upon meeting her, he finds himself in an interesting dilemma. Does he get the creep away from his precious sister? Or does he give into the temptation to try to get the...more

With Hot Text, Cari Quinn once again proves to me the reason why she is my go to author when it comes to quality erotica that delivers on all fronts. For some Hot Text might be “offensive” in the sense that sexual relations takes place between a married woman who is on the verge of divorce and the hero. But hey, lets face it; in real life things do not exactly go according to our well laid plans. If it did we would all be married to men who wouldn’t let us out of our bedrooms because they cannot...more

Hot for teacher takes on a whole new meaning in this book.
Take one editor, add a dash of paint, a bottle of cheap wine, a gorgeous studio and mix liberally with a preschool teacher trying to get a handle on sexting and you get Hot Text.

Divorce is hard on anyone, but when you're living in a limbo of your own making and come face to face with all the wrongs of your past how can you mix falling in love into that equation? Jeff and Karyn ask themselves that same question and both come up with answe...more

The synopsis of Hot Text gives an excellent overview of the plot of this erotic novella but what it doesn’t reflect is Cari Quinn’s wonderful witty prose and dialogue which had this reader smiling and laughing on a number of occasions.

Hero Jeff isn’t a people person. He edits technical manuals for a living and prefers to use words in the written form to conversing with other human beings. He does however love his sister Daisy and wants the best for her. So when she gets mixed up with married Lon...more

How I got this book: eARC from author

Jeff’s younger sister is dating a married man and Jeff does not approve. When Lonny’s wife calls the phone that was left behind, Jeff texts her to meet up. Hoping to convince Karyn to go back to her loser husband so his sister can move on, Jeff meets Karyn for coffee. Only after a few hours with her, Jeff is no longer sure that he wants her to g...more

My Review:
Simple overview: One incredibly hot, sexy night after a chance encounter where two soul mates meet, but the timing is just not where it needs to be.


Whoa, this book was good and so powerful. There was something about these two characters that I simply connected with...both of them. Jeff & Karyn are two people that have that instant connection that everyone dreams about. They just mesh perfectly.


The majority of this book is about the 10 hours after Jeff & Karyn meet. Their chem...more

My first read of Cari Quinn's books and I am very happy I took the opportunity to do so. I truly enjoyed her writing and boy, can she write smexy, hot scenes.

Jeff Maddox, twice divorced, is a book editor and big brother to Daisy who is dating a recently separated man (Lon). As a big brother, he steps in to interfere in his sister affair hoping to end it. After Jeff found Lon's phone, he thought to call his wife to inform her of his activities. Ee...more

Technical book editor Jeff Maddox doesn’t approve of his sister’s new boyfriend. This boyfriend is technically still married, although very close to a divorce and he doesn’t want his sister getting anymore serious with this guy. Staying with his sister for the weekend, he notices the boyfriend leaves his cell phone at her house. When the boyfriend’s wife calls the cell phone, Jeff decides to make a move and contact her to return the phone, and at the same time, convince the wife to get her husba...more

I won this book from the author! Woot, thanks Cari!

I'm giving this book 5 stars because I so loved the chemistry between the hero and heroine. From the moment they meet in a coffee shop until the time he leaves her house the next day, I was enthralled. And all hot and bothered, too! *winks* This couple was very sexy, very believable, and the writing made you feel how intense and surprising their encounter was for each of them. I would've liked for the ending to feel less rushed and to see some o...more

First let me say that I love the cover! It is so freaking hot! Second, I love that Jeff isn't your typical hero. He doesn't have smooth moves, he has a potty mouth (and is downright crude at times) and he'd rather be surrounded by books than be around a bunch of people.

Author Cari Quinn knows how to write hot, erotic stories with well-developed characters and plot. Even though Hot Text is a novella, I felt like I read a full-length novel. Even though Jeff and Karyn hit the sheets hours after jus...more

I have loved some of Cari Quinn's stories, and while I liked this one, I didn't love it. I liked the premise, but it seemed to move too fast for me. It would have been more realistic if they'd met, talked for hours, he texted her (non sexual) later that night... maybe texted her the next morning, maybe they'd meet again, maybe the texts turn sexual... But the fact that the texts were immediately sexual and he's at her house that first night were just off-putting for me. I'm not against sex on a...more

Known for being a surly, unapproachable guy, Jeff needs to lighten up. Unfortunately finding out his baby sister is sleeping with a married man doesn’t help his attitude. The guy claims to be separated but still…that equals marriage in Jeff’s mind. When he finds the guys cell phone he decides to take action. Whether or not the guys wife knowns about his affiars, he’s about to inform her of what kind of man she is married to.

Karyn knows all about her husbands illicit affairs, she is just past the...more

I loved that Karyn, the heroine in this book, was a strong female character and she stood up to her soon-to-be ex-husband. She also took time to make sure she and Jeff had a future together after their quick, initial get together. This was a fun and sexy story and I would recommend it to readers.

My thoughts:
I really enjoyed this short story. I love the idea of a big brother over stepping his bounds only to find himself in way over his head. A woman learning to move on and finding that with the right timing and the right guy anything is possible.
Thank you to Cari for sharing your wonderful story with me.
If you want a quick, hot read please give Hot Text a chance.

USA Today bestselling author Cari Quinn wrote her first story—a bible parable—in 2nd grade, much to the delight of the nuns at her Catholic school. Once she saw the warm reception that first tale garnered, she was hooked. She attempted her first romance in junior high, long before she'd ever read one. Writing what she knew always took a backseat to what she wanted to know, and that still holds tru...more

“Even when she’d fantasized, what she’d come up with hadn’t ever matched this reality. She’d never envisioned a sexy, borderline grouchy guy with a glint in his eye and an erection this tempting.” 2 people liked it
“He inched in, slid out. Pumped deeper, pulled away. Just as her frustration swelled to a f#ckingly epic level, he hauled her hips up, dragging her higher before he sank all the way in, filling her so completely she gasped.
Her flesh stretched, unaccustomed to a man after so long. Each thrust stirred her unspeakably. More than just her p#ssy linked with him when he slid into her. A little part of her heart did as well.”
