When Jade Maguire hears the sexy voice of Ryan Stoddard behind her she is more than surprised, she thought that she would have to make the first move. She is not going to make a move to seduce him, she is going to bring him to his knees and make him pay for breaking her baby sister’s heart.

Ryan knows that he has thrown Jade for a loop with his seductive and very forward language and that is just what he wants to do. He wants to throw her off balance so he can find out what she did with the painting she swindled from his grandparents.

Jade and Ryan each have a hidden agenda when they meet for the first time; an agenda based on information given to them by other people. They meet thinking the worst of each other yet neither can deny the fire that burns hotter than the Savannah summer between them. Will the blazing passion be enough to hold them together once all of the truths are told and the secrets are revealed?

Wickedly Hot is a bit more serious than Ms. Kelly’s previous work, yet still as riveting, entertaining and toe curling as I’ve come to expect from her. She does an absolutely stupendous job of projecting the sense of history and tradition that is so prevalent in the South. Both Ryan and Jade are likeable and believable characters with traits that make each of them perfect for the other. This is a book that earns a permanent place on my keeper shelf and will be reread many times.
