If you play with fire…
Tossed out of college and cut off by her parents, Samantha West is in pretty dire straits. So when her rocker best friend hooks her up with a job dancing at a gentlemen’s club, who is she to turn it down? Plus, there are rules to dancing at Benny’s: No touching, keep your clothes on at all times, and never get closer than three feet. Unfortunately for Sam, her first private client makes her want to break every single one of them.
Harrison Yates is scorching hot, but he’s got a past that involves being left at the altar not too long ago. Sam is determined to make him forget about his ex, but when she makes her move, it flings her life into a spiral of chaos she never saw coming.
Because Harrison Yates isn’t who he seems to be-and his secret will probably get her killed.

REVIEW: A LITTLE TOO HOT is the third instalment in Lisa DesRochers’s –A Little Too Far contemporary, new adult, romance series. This is Samantha West and Harrison Yates storyline. Samantha was first mentioned in A Little Too Far as Trent’s sometime girlfriend.
The storyline focuses on Samantha-she is in desperate need of a job and a place to live so when her best friend and rocker Jonathan suggests dancing at a gentlemen’s club, Samantha is a little reluctant. When everything appears clean and above board, she quickly becomes one of the club’s headliners and most requested private dancer only to be pulled into a world of mobsters, drug trafficking and so much more. When Sam’s life and that of her friends are threatened, she will find herself face to face with the people who will set her up to take the fall.
A LITTLE TOO HOT is a fast paced story of suspense, mystery and sexual seduction. There is no denying the heat and palpable attraction between Samantha and Harrison but acting on their feelings will place both of them in danger. As the storyline progresses, the relationship builds until Harrison knows it is time to walk away.
Lisa DesRochers has written an intense storyline that will captivate and pull the reader into a world of betrayal and lies; suspense and the unknown; arousal and falling in love. A LITTLE TOO HOT is a story of forbidden love; responsibility and growing up.

Tackling ‘controversial’ subject matter
by Lisa DesRochers
A LITTLE TOO FAR is full of controversial subject matter, with a girl caught between the love of her stepbrother and a priest in training. A LITTLE TOO HOT isn’t far behind. Without giving too much away, suffice it to say that we have a couple who is wildly attracted to one another, but following through on those base desires crosses way too many lines. One of the things I loved reading in reviews of A LITTLE TOO FAR was how readers expected to experience an ick factor with Lexie’s sexual encounters with either the stepbrother, the priest, or both, but as they read, they totally got behind the relationships and understood what drove them. I think this is the key to doing controversy well. It all stems from writing characters who are real and sympathetic. As a reader, when you identify with a character, if that character ends up in a tough spot, you can’t help but pull for them—even if that tough spot involves an intimate encounter with a stepbrother, a priest, or both. Strong characters in a believable situation, no matter how controversial, will always garner sympathy from a reader as long as their actions and reactions are realistic considering their circumstances. If an author has done a good job getting you inside the character’s head so you understand and relate to what motivates and drives them, almost anything goes. In my opinion, the more controversial the plot, the more character driven the story needs to be.

Have you ever gone just a little too far?
Lexie Banks has.
Yep. She just had mind-blowing sex with her stepbrother. In her defense, she was on the rebound, and it’s more of a my-dad-happened-to-marry-a-woman-with-a-super-hot-son situation. But still, he’s been her best friend and confidant for the better part of the last few years … and is so off limits. It’s a good thing she’s leaving in two days for a year abroad in Rome.
But even thousands of miles away, Lexie can’t seem to escape trouble. Raised Catholic, she goes to confession in hopes of alleviating some of her guilt … and maybe not burning in hell. Instead, she stumbles out of the confessional and right into Alessandro Moretti, a young and very easy-on-the-eyes deacon … only eight months away from becoming a priest. Lexie and Alessandro grow closer, and when Alessandro’s signals start changing despite his vow of celibacy, she doesn’t know what to think. She’s torn between falling in love with the man she shouldn’t want and the man she can’t have. And she isn’t sure how she can live with herself either way.

Click HERE for our review of A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
In the follow-up to Lisa Desrochers’ explosive New Adult novel A Little too Far, Alessandro Moretti must face the life he escaped and the girl he loved and left behind.
Twenty-two year old Hilary McIntyre would like nothing more than to forget her past. As a teenager abandoned to the system, she faced some pretty dark times. But now that’s all behind her. Hilary has her life on track, and there’s no way she’ll head back down that road again.
Until Alessandro Moretti—the one person who can make her remember—shows up on her doorstep. He’s even more devastatingly gorgeous than before, and he’s much too close for comfort. Worse, he sees right through the walls she’s built over these last eight years, right into her heart and the secrets she’s guarding.
As Hilary finds herself falling back into love with the man who, as a boy both saved and destroyed her, she must decide. Past or future? Truth or lies?
