BOOK REVIEW – by Beth Anderson, multi-award winning author , USA
“Once in a while a new writer comes along whom you just know is going to be big. Ms. Powell is one of those writers and Hot Summer is one of those books. Hot Summer grabbed me from the beginning and never let up, with one conflict after another as Lance and Summer’s romance heats up. Love the writing, love the characters. Ms. Powell is a natural born story teller, and tell it she does, with sizzling romance…in a multicultural setting as the two would-be lovers jet between Chicago and Jamaica.”
BOOK REVIEW – by by Sloane Taylor
Summer Jones is a spitfire who takes her goals seriously and has no time for a personal life, especially if includes a man. She’s working hard to complete her masters degree and tend to her critically ill mother while she suffers through an exhausting waitress job. When she loses her apartment and discovers mom needs immediate surgery, Summer is at her wits end and funds. Luck turns her way when a guest at the restaurant offers her the perfect job. Lance Munroe, the strong-willed owner of a music production company, wants feisty Summer to be the public relations director for his newest singers. What Lance never planned was that he’d want Summer in his life forever. She’s all about doing her best on the job. Not only is she dedicated but also innovative. Summer proves it when the five artists, with unsavory reputations, become stars. The only thing Summer can’t control is her desire to be in Lance’s life and bed. Powell is a new and upcoming author to keep your eye on. She’s off to a fast start with a sultry novel that is packed with sensuality and romance.
