ER Pierce

I'm a work in progress who adores dark chocolate, the fresh mountain air, and the sound of rushing rivers.

I enjoy the salted breeze from the ocean, and the warmth of the sun heating my body as I sit on the rocks listening to the waves and gulls. Just thinking.

My mind is a chaotic mixture of realism and dreams, tempered by my four spirited children and creative husband.

I'm a multi-genre author at the whim of my erratic muse. I'm a yoga enthusiast, natural food lover, and I love body art.

I have to say that I am loving this series!! I think what I love best about this serial is that while the books are short-about 15 pages, there is a lot of character development that you just don't always get when a story is that short. In book one, (you can find my review here) we got to meet Samantha and Ryan. In this book, their relationship continues, and Ryan is still calling the shots, but Samantha wants him to be the one to lose control for a change.


There were a lot of steamy scenes, but what I loved most is along with those there was a lot of character development between Samantha and Ryan. We're beginning to learn what has made the two of them the way they are and why they both have relationship issues. There were a few times when I just wanted to give Ryan a hug. I loved learning more about him and I can't wait to see how their relationship continues to grow into more then just hot sex. The ending of the book left me wanting volume three right now!!

This series by ER Pierce is just a steamy, light, fantastic read!

My Review: This is the next installment of the Hot Lunch series that I started reading a couple of months ago. I love that it is short enough to read when I need a quick break from work, chores and the munchkin. It has just the right amount of steam. While it is a short installment, it has so much depth to the story, you don't feel like you are missing anything. Both Ryan and Sam are well developed characters and we get to learn a little more about their pasts in Hot or Cold. But a little warning for you, this one has a huge cliffhanger!! Thank goodness that the next Hot Lunch installment comes out soon!!

My Rating: ❤❤❤
GOOD: The characteristics of a 3 heart book include: interesting characters, a decent storyline, and unique story elements; there was something about the story that I didn’t completely connect with; the book is a solid read. I would recommend it to a friend.
My Thoughts:
Hey! What in tarnation happened?!? The story ended at 50% on my Kindle with excerpts taking up the rest of the book length. Not happy because I wanted a bit more story. I was shaking my Kindle like it was magically give up the rest of the story. *LOL* I'll stay tuned for the final book in the series since Pierce promises a longer book for that one.

The sex in this short was hot, but it moved far too quickly to be believable. I think the story of Ryan and Samantha has great potential but it needs to be fleshed out a bit more, and more time taken.
