Publisher's summary

Winner, 2017 Voice Arts Award -- Romance

A sexy new standalone romance from #1 New York Times Best-selling Author Lauren Blakely

Ever notice that sometimes a guy will do something really stupid, like let the love of his life slip through his fingers?

Yeah. I'm that guy. But the instant I run into her again I've got one goal and one goal only—a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home.

Fine, at first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you've got to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I'm prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love.

He's the one who got away...

The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he's not . . .? I've tried like hell to forget him, but maybe I'm cursed to remember the guy I fell madly in love with eight years ago. Lord knows I'm not over him, so what's the harm in giving him a week to prove he's changed in the ways that matter?

After all, how do you resist the hot one..?

The Hot One Stars

I love books like these, a good second chance romance. I really loved how they both had to get over past hurts to truly make a second chance worth it.

Tyler was just yummy and I have to say switching narrators was perfect because Zachary Webber was the perfect voice for Tyler.

Tyler really puts himself out there in this book, I think it was genius that when their eyes meet again after so long they both felt that thing. And that Tyler was as truthful as he could be because he honestly wanted another chance to make it right.

When you know, you know.

It took me a little more time to warm up to Delaney maybe because I wanted her to forgive and forget to fast. But I think what turned it around for me was that she did make him work a little more for it to truly prove that he was in it for her.

I also loved that Andi Arndt was the voice of Delaney she really brought out some of that emotion that you need with a book like this.

Love it, recommend. Lauren Blakely kills a Rom Com like no one else.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Much better than I imagined

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hot One to be better than the print version?

I have only listened to this and have not read the book. I feel that I would still enjoy the print but I wanted to listen to this first because I love Lauren Blakely's other audiobooks!

What other book might you compare The Hot One to and why?

I honestly am not sure because this second-chance romance was done very well!

Have you listened to any of Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I do not believe I have listened to any of his but I have listened to several of hers. I think this is one of her best simply because I was not familiar with this book before. I have read other books by Lauren and then listened to Andi's narration.

Loved it!

I love Lauren Blakely's fully well rounded female characters! This book might be steaming hot, but It's also just a wonderful story about well thought out second chances and two people who are made for each other. Loved it!

Steamy and sweet

Nice balance of steamy and sweet. Love the idea of second chances. The characters discuss effect of parents on current relationships.

Great narration

I enjoyed this book. It wasn’t very long, but it was a good story.
Zachary Webber makes it all the better. I have yet to listen to a book he narrates that I didn’t enjoy his performance.

Sweet Second Chance Romance

Not sure at all what the name refers to in the book, but it’s a sweet story of reclaiming lost love, relatively free of contrivance, with fleshed out characters and some pretty prose.

Way to go dude

Don’t know if I would have taken him back especially the way he broke it off. But I guess with his good looks and what he does to get her back I probably would have folded. But then she should have made him work harder, hell why not she was worth it and he was cocky. Good book
