"Hot, Hot, Hot!"

P.T Marcias has created a sizzling saga of romance, hot intimacy and suspense with the De La Cruz family. I like that you get to read the characters thoughts in italics so you get both perspectives and reactions to all the goings on between the sheets and outside of them! I also really liked the use of Spanglish, which I thought was easy to get the hang of. I've even been using it with my husband (Esposo) and he loves it! This story was about the CEO of the family company making...more

Hot & Spicy is a wonderful romantic thriller. Jose Enrique has achieved to situate the De La Cruz Inc. in a great financial position and in an excellent market niche. Now it’s time for him to settle down.

This Book tells a wonderful love story. The main character finds his soul mate in the least expected person. It shows how you can find love with someone that's right in front of you and with someone you never expected.
It also tells a rich story on Hispanic culture.

Now comes why I only gave it a three star rating.
- The entire book is written half in English and half in Spanish. While, I speak both, not everyone does. Some may speak one and others the other. In most cases, they won't understand...more

I absolutely couldn't put this book down. The characters were very interesting and well rounded. I loved that the couples are equals. I was nervous about the twists in the action at the end but was glad to see the characters pull through. I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens. P.T Macias is a fabulous author and takes great care with her characters and their story lines. I will recommend this book and the rest of the series to my friends and family.

This book is an awesome read...full of adventure, culture and very, very sexy. The author helps the reader to understand the hispanic culture; incorporates family values and the dynamics of two people falling in love while experiencing how to work together to run a family business and live to unite. Awesome read.

OMG! This book has some very hot scenes!! Aside from that, it has a lovely romance between Jose & his sister's best buddy Jessie. He can't believe he never noticed her before but definitely will not loose her now that he has. Not even to a ruthless Mexican cartel. This book definitely has a lot to offer.
Milly Taiden
A great romantic read with a line of suspense and action along the way. It is clear the PT Macias knows her stuff when she turns a simple family event into a kidnapping and search for a new love. Talk about making things interesting! you will not be bored. Enjoy.
Cris
Very hot! Great spanglish idea! I speak some Spanish and find this concept exciting. I like the love story and the thrill of the menacing cartel. Author gives much insight into her characters, though there are a lot of them.

This book was WONDERFUL! The story is exciting! Not just the romance, which is HOT, but the action which will keep you interested from beginning to end! Once you pick up this book, you will not want to put it down!

Hot & Spicy is one of those love stories that gets you interested and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jose Enrique is the CEO of De La Cruz Inc. He meets his novia (fiance) with the help of his hermana (sister). The story that takes place is not JUST about their relationship, but includes the lives of the De La Cruz familia and company. Suspense and intrigue, as well as romance, make up the story.

This story is well-written and true to life. The story flows in such a way that there is no...more
