Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
The romance in Dimon's latest romp (To All a Good Night) definitely rates as hot—so hot, in fact, that it cools down the thriller elements. As estranged lovers Noah Paxton and Lexy Stuart reluctantly reunite—he's tracked her down to a Utah desert spa forty miles from the nearest anything—and do some investigating to hunt for a killer, their playful banter and lovers' spats weigh down the proceedings. Noah works as a security expert for Stuart Enterprises, Lexy's family business, and he's surprised Lexy at her retreat. What he doesn't know is that Lexy's supposed vacation is actually her attempt to investigate Noah himself, whose marriage proposal she's turned down because she suspects he's stealing from one of the company's big clients. Though she's out to discredit him, she may be more interested in his scorching body. When Lexy's only source, the resort's security chief, turns up dead before he can help her, Noah and Lexy begin a protracted game of cat and mouse—with, quite possibly, no mouse at all. Though steamy, Dimon's latest won't thrill anywhere but between the sheets. (Nov.)

Product Description
Lexy Stuart is nobody's fool...Not since she wised up to the fact that her fiance, Noah Paxton, wasn't just sporting the hardest bod this side of the Ironman competition. No, he was also harbouring enough secrets to make a CIA operative blush. Little things he never thought worth mentioning like, oh, a previous marriage. So Lexy gave back the ring - with extreme prejudice - and made sandy tracks straight to a remote desert spa. Problem is, with a man like Noah, a girl can run, but she can't hide. Nor does she particularly want to...Alexa Annabeth Stuart. The stuffy name couldn't be less suitable for a woman as fiery and free as Noah's Lexy. And Lexy is his - always will be - the tricky part will be getting her to realise it. Of course, Noah's always up for a challenge. Which is a good thing, since between the crazy heat at this god-forsaken 'retreat' and the looks Lexy's shooting him (not to mention the shockwaves he's getting from her hot-pink bikini), winning his ex back could be one dangerous mission. But if Noah doesn't survive it, well, he intends to die a very satisfied man...

3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointed, March 2, 2009
HelenKay, I'm rootin' for ya, I truly am. But this book left me wanting more as I read it.

There was a lot of TALK about Noah's past; just not enough detail. I kept waiting for some deeper insight and it never came.

And what was Lexy's job? I hardly knew until the end when her brother finally started to play hardball with her.

I felt like the book was written in a hurry. There were a few small errors that no editors picked up on. That's not really a big deal. But it is a big deal when the characters don't know what they are saying. There was a section where Lexy was having some thoughts on a subject; then suddenly they were Noah's thoughts. That was confusing and just made me feel like you were writing the book to meet a deadline.

There also could have been more depth into the Noah/Grey/Dex relationship. I would've liked to get to know them better so that I would have a vested interest in the story when Dex turned out to be a dick.

To sum it up, the book lacked depth and, as a result, realism. All of this doesn't mean I won't read future books; I will. Because HelenKay has lots of potential. I just think she needs to get under the surface a bit more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot as hell all right, January 22, 2009
Description from the back of the book:
She's mad as hell.
He's hot as hell.
The desert may not be big enough for both of them...

Tell me more...
Lexy Stuart is nobody's fool...not since she wised up to the fact that her fiancé, Noah Paxton, wasn't just sporting the hardest bod this side of the Ironman competition.

Alexa Annabeth Stuart. The stuffy name couldn't be less suitable for a woman as fiery and free as Noah's Lexy. And Lexy is his--always will be--the tricky part will be getting her to realize it. Of course, Noah's always up for a challenge. Which is a good thing, since between the crazy heat at this god-forsaken "retreat" and the looks Lexy's shooting him (not to mention the shockwaves he's getting from her hot-pink bikini), winning his ex back could be one dangerous mission. But if Noah doesn't survive it, well, he intends to die a very satisfied man...

My View:
For the most part, I liked this book. I could easily fall in love with Noah for the cover picture alone, but more to the point I liked his character and all the complexities that went along with him. I even liked Lexy's brother, Grey. He is someone I'd love to see in an upcoming book. Lexy, however, was a problem for me. Noah and Lexy were together for two years and she agreed to the marriage proposal and then decided she didn't like his secrets. At times during the story I wanted to shake her. The author gave her some great characteristics, and I liked the part about her messy lifestyle and even the history of her parents. The problem was she didn't just come out and tell Noah what her true problem was. The other thing I thought was unbelievable was that she didn't immediately go to her brother when she thought Noah had stolen from the client. It seemed out of character for her. The reason why I gave this book such a high mark was because the book was humorous, I loved the sex scenes, as well as the ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!, November 12, 2008
Things are definitely scorching in HelenKay Dimon's newest release, HOT AS HELL. Noah and Lexy are the perfect couple; or so they thought. Lies and secrets have tarnished their once blissful relationship and neither thinks that they will ever overcome their differences.

Noah Paxton has finally caught up with Alexa, his missing ex-fiancé. After a diligent search, he finds her vacationing at a fitness spa in the desert. Noah is HOT AS HELL, and he wants to get to the bottom of why Lexy left him and took important and confidential records with her. After all, he trusted her implicitly, and to find out he is wrong about her doesn't sit well with him.

Alexa Stuart has come to this desert spa with the hopes of finding out why Noah, her now ex-fiancé, kept important secrets from her. Lexy gave Noah many chances during their whirlwind relationship to tell her exactly what he was doing and why. When Noah wouldn't admit to his secret activities, Lexy had no choice but to end their engagement and their relationship. Returning his ring was one of the hardest things Lexy has ever done, but she had no choice. Though she loves Noah, without his trust - and her lack of trust in him - what kind of marriage could they possibly have?

When a dead body is found in Lexy's room, she has no choice but to involve Noah. Working to clear their names as suspects of this senseless murder, they will stop at nothing in order to find the true culprit. Who said anything in life is easy, right?

HelenKay Dimon once again has penned an extremely compelling and well written romantic suspense novel with HOT AS HELL. This talented author effortlessly combines scorching hot loves scenes, tender displays of affection, and wickedly funny humor. These elements smoothly blend together to make a compellingly addictive read.

Speaking of addictive - Noah Paxton has to be one of the finest, most sexy male characters I have read about this year. He loves Lexy - that isn't the issue. He is protective of her and does not want her involved in dangerous things. That's just Noah's character. While I agree that his heart is in the right place, I think his inability to trust Lexy at the beginning of the book is realistic to today's men, and therefore I knew it wouldn't sit well with Lexy. Noah has his reasons for not involving Lexy, most of which are he doesn't want her to see him as anything but the man she loves. Her safety means everything to him, and his ultimate goal is keeping the woman he loves safe.

Lexy is a stroke of pure genius on HelenKay Dimon's part. Her characterization is so witty and charming that she won me over in the first scene of the book. Lexy has her own reasons for breaking up with Noah though she continues to love him. She finds his inability to trust her so important that she risks her heart to somehow make him see that she is not a hothouse flower and that she is the woman who loves him no matter what.

HOT AS HELL combines powerful imagery and steamy love scenes to make for a sultry and sensual read. Having read Ms. Dimon before, I knew I was in for a witty and surprising read and I was not disappointed. I recommend fans running, not walking, to the nearest bookstore and quickly snatching this engaging and delightful novel off the shelf. They won't be sorry!
