A cute and quick read. Three stories that are fun, sexy and loaded with passion. They take place either in or near the ocean.

"Hot and Bothered" is by Janelle Denison. The heroine designs settings for precious gems and finds out--she thinks too late--that her new, handsome lover was arrested for a jewelry heist. Interestingly enough there's a lesson to be learned in this story as well as a red, hot love affair!

MaryJanice Davidson wrote "Paradise Bossed." It's rather unique in that the heroine of the story dies early on while snorkeling, and her friends hire a psychic to try to find out what happened to her. They find out she's died, but continues to hover around them at the same time that the psychic (being the only one that can communicate and see the ghost) gets the hots for her. Not your average plot.

I enjoyed Nina Bangs' story "Hot Summer Bites" the most. It was about a female reporter who wants to do a feature on a "fantasy castle" so she comes for a visit. Little does she know there are shape-shifters (including talking cats!) and vampires around. Also, she's unable to predict that she'd fall for one of the hunky vampires. The story is really unusual and it's pretty funny at times. And, of course, it's not short on passion, either.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book!
