The Hot One by Lauren Blakely

      Meh...The Hot One just felt lukewarm to me.
      I'm a huge fan of Lauren Blakely...adored Mr. O and Big Rock. I couldn't wait to read this one when I heard it was coming out.
     The Hot One is a 2nd chance romance. Delaney and Tyler were lovers in college. Tyler wanted to focus on his legal career and just dumped Delaney with no warning. The two have been pining over each other all the years they were apart. That's the basics without wanting to give anymore away.
      I found this book to be slow and dragged in the middle. There were points I wanted to give it up, but because of my love of Ms. Blakely's past books, I wanted to give it a fair chance. I felt the characters were weaker than her past books, and even the cute banter which I love in her books fell flat for me.
     Would this less than great book stop me from reading any more of her books? No. I'm still a fan. Just not of this book.
    It's a standalone and a HEA.
   It's available on Amazon as an Ebook for $3.99, and is available in other formats here
   Sadly, I only gave this book a 3 out of 5 cupcake rating.
