Last Jordan Sister Book, June 4, 2006
Sophie Jordan, the last unmarried Jordan sister and co-owner of The Hot Zone sports management agency, isn't looking for love. When the sparks explode between Sophie and quarterback Riley Nash, it's a toss up to say who's more stunned. Both Sophie and Riley carry baggage from their pasts and neither wants to risk their hearts. Now they must face the feelings that won't go away, along with a stalker who seems determined to bring The Hot Zone to its knees. More problems arise when Riley's daughter is less than happy with the appearance of a serious love interest in Riley's life and has no qualms about letting her displeasure be known. With all these forces working against them, can Riley and Sophie take a chance on love?
Hot Item is the third and final book in the Jordan sister's trilogy and I had been waiting impatiently for it. Without a doubt I wasn't disappointed! Hot Item delivers exactly what I am looking for in a contemporary romance. Sophie and Riley steam through the pages while Sophie's Uncle Yank appears to add his unique humor and follblies to the story. Readers who loved the first two Hot Zone books as much as I did will want to immediately pick up and devour Hot Item. Readers can't go wrong with any of the Jordan sister's trilogy and readers who haven't read them yet have missed three wonderfully romantic and sexy stories.

Best of the series!, April 9, 2008
Successful sports PR agent Sophie falls finds herself in hot water when she is flying solo at the agency during the NFL draft and her "uncle" Spence is outed by a reporter and goes on the lam. Further complicating matters is her attraction to star quarterback Riley Nash who is Spence's long lost son and wants his parentage kept secret to protect his adoptive father's political career. When the two take a road trip, sparks fly with the most unlikely duo.
"Item" marks the third installment in Phillip's "Hot Zone" trio featuring a family run sports PR agency owned by orphaned sisters raised by their bachelor uncle. It's also the best of the series, packing an emotional wallop that started in the first ("Stuff") was lacking in the last one ("Number").

Cute Chick Lit - Fun Summer Read 3-1/2*, May 29, 2006
In the final book of Phillips' HOT ZONE trilogy Sophie, the last of the Jordan sisters has finally met her match. It's not as if Sophie hasn't noticed the very handsome NFL quarterback Riley Nash, oh she has! Unfortunately, his devil may care life style is simply not compatible with the always in control co-owner of THE HOT ZONE, the industry's top sports management agency.
When a news leak sends top agent and family friend Spencer Atkins into hiding and the agency into a tailspin, Sophie not only has to contend with the fallout of his disappearance but Riley Nash's very personal reasons and insistence on sticking to her like glue until he's found! Incompatible or not, the rush Sophie feels at Riley's nearness is raising havoc with trying to remain cool and in control. Before she knows it losing control with Riley's arms around her is definitely something she could get used to.
The third book in a sports themed trilogy it is completely stand alone with on going references early on of sisters Annabelle and Mikki. This reviewer was quickly brought up to speed and not left floundering to fit pieces together because of not having read the first two books.
I liked that each of the protagonists problems of commitment was out in the open with regard to giving in to the passion they felt for one another and helped to keep this perfectly paced romance from going stale. Their love scenes and physical reaction to each other was hotly sensual and passionate even though Sophie's concerns of allowing herself to love someone before she loses them gets straightened out in good time. The mystery of who was sabotaging the agency was interesting but I found I had figured out it out very early in the read. Bottom line, I imagine most would find this to be a pleasant read to enjoy while soaking up the sun on the beach this summer.
