***Book 2 in C.J. Lake's Attraction Series***

When Emma hired Winter Construction to do some minor renovations on her house, she was told some guy named "Larry" would be over shortly. The last thing she expected when she opened the door was for the owner of the company, Matt Winter, himself to be standing there! So Matt was going to do the work? That meant he would be in her house with her, day after day... and what did she really know about him?

Just that he was the best friend of her sister's boyfriend. He was four years younger than her. Tall, dark and handsome. Charming and disarming. And the one time they'd spoken on the phone, many months earlier, had been an utter disaster. Oh, yeah, and then there was that lie she'd told him about moving to France (long story!)…

Now, up close and personal with Matt, Emma is even more flustered...but she's determined to keep things professional. Really, how hard could it be?

*Standalone novel, NO cliffhanger.
**Contains explicit scenes intended for adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really loving the series so far...

Emma is being relocated for her job and she hires Matt to help her fix up her house before she sells it. She definitely isn't looking for love--but with a hot and sexy contractor like Matt coming over every day, she doesn't have a chance!

CJ Lake is fast becoming my new favorite romance writer! I pre-ordered this book and when it downloaded to my kindle, I couldn't wait to get started. It was fast moving and really fun to read. I liked Emma and Matt in Constructing Us and I was glad Lake decided to focus this book on them.

I love how Emma is so independent and a great mom and doesn't need a man to rescue her. But she'd become so closed off after her husband died. Plus, since she's moving five hours away, she doesn't want to start anything with anyone. Matt was persistent, but sweet. You could really tell how much he was falling in love with her. The build up to their first night together was AMAZING and their love scenes were really steamy!

It was fun to read about Tragan and his friends again too. Bardo always cracks me up...I wish he'd find a girl!

While the storyline was nothing really new, the characters are well done, and its a sweet romance. You can't help but love Matt for being such a sweet understanding guy, while trying to get Emma over her fear of dealing with a relationship, and loving again. Very sweet, with hot sexy love scenes.

Loved the first book in this series "Constructing Us." I'm thrilled that the author did not disappoint with this one! Matt and Emma had a real spark and lots of chemistry early on, which only intensified as they spent more time together. Emma is definitely a strong woman but also sweet and funny, and Matt was irresistible. There was this hot intensity about him, yet at the same time, he is so patient with Emma. And their love scenes were crazy hot!!! I really felt the love in this story. (Mild spoiler...) When Emma comes to see Matt at the end, I literally had tears in my eyes. That scene was amazing!

It was great seeing Tragan and Andy again. I hope there's a third book coming in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars You MUST read this because you are looking for a down-to-earth refreshing couple!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014
Emma Slate become a widow far too young and life has taught her that fate can be brutal and painful. She has learn how to fend of for herself and provide for her boys. She has also leaned how to be independent. Sometimes independence can take us too far. Is she taking her Ms. Independence act too far? Can she see beyond her fears and take a risk again?
Matt Winter may only be twenty three, but he has more responsibilities than many forty years old out there. When he falls for a single mom of two kids, he is not expecting to be considered too young or immature. How can he make her see behind the stereotype? How can he tell her to give fate a chance, when she has been hurt before?
A Hot Winter is one of these reads that plays with your emotions. This book has taken me into different directions every few chapters. Sometimes, I could see myself in Emma and could totally agree with her. Then I would totally hate her for a second. After that, I would love Matt to death, but pretty soon I would wish for him to be more pro-active. Really, I live this emotional roller coaster almost through the end. It was a bit unexpected, because I was thinking about a fun read with some good passionate scenes, and a true romance. It was and more!
Ms. Lake’s characters are so easy to connect and relate that readers end up having almost cathartic experiences while reading her books. Matt and Emma are so real, that they could be any of my friends or myself, even though I’m more than a decade older than them. They are not perfect and they are really frustrating at some points, but they are believable with great depth of character.
I love Matt’s group of friends and I believe I would really enjoy both Bardo and Pellican’s book. Each of them is a bit of a odd character, and I believe it would be fun to explore their world also. One is not very lucky with the ladies, but has the best comments ever and the other, is so insecure that has a big act in place to mask it. Really amazing secondary characters!
Ms. Lake has created a strong plot within this group of friends that are people like all of us. They all have normal lives, with normal jobs, some struggles and some good moments. They all have pretty nice families and none of them seems to be a really big screw up, which seems a big plus at the moment when most books out there have someone with obscure pasts, or totally dysfunctional characters.
You may read this book because you have read book one; you should read this book because you enjoy true romance stories; but you MUST read this, because you are looking for a down-to-earth refreshing couple!

4.0 out of 5 stars No one should have to go through something like that. But her love life is on hold ...
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2014
Emma was a widow at 23 years old and left with 2 children to raise. No one should have to go through something like that. But her love life is on hold because men cannot come an go in and out of her boys lives. That plan had been going well until Matt showed up to help her remodel her home. He connects with her on so many levels. Her plan has never been harder to keep.

Matt cannot believe his luck when he gets to help Emma with her home project and he finds that he just really enjoys spending his time with he. She is such a perfect woman for him. But she is moving soon and he knows she is pushing him away because of that and because of all her old excuses. He knows she deserves some happiness too, it is convincing her to see that too.

I loved how these two connected. I felt the author found her style in this book. It flowed so much nicer than the first book. And the tension was felt right away and I was able to connect with the characters alot easier. It was a light read and fun to read. A great rainy day or beach read.
