Keeping It Hot

Sydney Landon. Berkley, $7.99 mass market (304p) ISBN 978-0-399-58322-3

Readers of this sweet contemporary (the first in the Breakfast in Bed series) will chortle aloud as two friends finally see the romance that’s been in front of them all along. Resort owner Dylan Jackson is shocked when he sees his usually dressed-down best friend, coffee shop owner Zoe Hart, after her makeover. Now that she’s traded in her khakis and polo shirt for sexier outfits, Zoe believes she can finally get Dylan—whom she’s been in love with for years—to see her as more than one of the guys. When a drunk Zoe confesses she’s still a virgin, Dylan offers to be her first lover, and after a steamy night together, they both realize they want more. They initially think the change will be easy, but Dylan’s busy work schedule leaves Zoe feeling neglected. Dylan must find a way to balance his career with his love life or risk losing the only woman who’s ever held his heart. Landon will enthrall readers with this delightful romance. Agent: Jane Dystel, Dystel & Goderich Literary. (July)
