A broken engagement.
Alyssa Carlisle arrives at her parent’s house in Florida nursing an unexpected heartbreak. She jumps at the chance for a no-strings-attached fling with the neighbors’ ridiculously sexy college-dropout-turned-real-estate-investor son. Marc’s hot—and every woman in Florida knows it. Half of them firsthand. Alyssa’s not immune; she just knows better than to expect anything beyond a hook-up. Once she set her sights on New York, she never looked back. Maybe once or twice, just to get a better glimpse of Marc’s butt. No harm in looking…

An ill-advised fling.
Marc’s wanted his aloof, ambitious neighbor for years, but she’s been thousands of miles away chasing her dream. He almost gave up the fantasy when she brought home a rich fiancé. Now their engagement’s off, and Marc’s not about to pass up his chance. But how can he convince her to take him seriously—when Alyssa’s on the rebound and leaving in a week?

A reality-TV-inspired dating contest.
An unexpected visit from Alyssa’s ex gives Marc the opportunity he needs—if he doesn’t mess it up. But Marc has a dream, too, one he’s worked toward for years. One of them will have to give. Blindsided by unexpected feelings, Marc and Alyssa fight for a future neither could have imagined.

Previously titled Holiday Heat.
Standalone steamy contemporary romance with a happy ending. Mature audiences/18+.

A refreshing and witty new voice in contemporary romance. Read it in one sitting!

November 21, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Last night, I stumbled on Holiday Heat: A Christmas Dramedy by Carrie Lomax, a seemingly “holiday” novel with its Christmas glitter and mistletoe on the cover that’s not exactly a holiday novel. It’s set during the holidays, yes, but it’s *not a holiday novel. Family dynamics? Check. Sibling rivalry and protectiveness? Check. Steamy AF hot scenes? Checkcheckcheck.

The first thing that caught my attention was the smart and witty heroine, Alyssa Carlisle, who lives in a studio apartment in Midtown Manhattan and she’s just been stood up by her rich boyfriend of two years, Zach. He was supposed to propose on Christmas Eve but he’s five hours late and when he does show up, he’s drunk and tells her he got cold feet. Apparently, it’s not the first time Zach has pulled something like this and so, with a plane to catch in the morning where they were supposed to spend Christmas with her parents in Tampa, Florida, she tells Zach they’re over, to have a great life, and not to talk to her ever again.

Tampa is where we meet Marc Del Luna, the oldest son of the Del Lunas who live next door to her parents. He’s never finished college but he’s smoking hot, “the kind of guy who made girls’ panties wet just by walking into the room—at least, the ones like her who wore undergarments.” And apparently, Alyssa has been secretly crushing on him since her family moved into the neighborhood almost ten years ago… but there was something about Marc being known as the resident man-whore that made her steer clear.

While taking out the trash, they bump into each other and sparks fly, especially when Marc learns she’s suddenly single. Who knew the (play)boy next door liked her all these years? To Alyssa, the prospect of a one-night stand or a vacation fling with Marc before she returns to New York is looking better and better every minute.

But before one assumes that Marc is simply the manwhore everyone thinks he is, there’s actually more to him than meets the eye, just as there’s more to the sibling dynamics between him and Julian as well as Alyssa and Janelle, her younger sister stuck in a dead-end job and drowning in student loans.

What I love the most about this book is that it’s a refreshing take on romance from the usual fare that I’ve been picking up lately. I like how Lomax explores certain social issues that are at the forefront today and for the most part, they’re deftly interwoven into the storyline. The sparks that fly between Alyssa and Marc are super hot and deserving of New Year’s Eve fireworks, and the scenes between them are super steamy as well. But that’s not going to mean that everything is smooth sailing either. They go through some rough patches like an unexpected visitor, a reality TV show-inspired contest, and some good measure of angst. And for a holiday tryst that’s hot and heavy from the get-go, will their fling last long after the New Year’s Eve fireworks are all done?

Love this book! It's written around fun tropes, includes a hooooot hero, and has some of the very steamiest sex I've read in a long time. The perfect holiday treat! Carrie Lomax is extremely talented and I can't wait for her next offering.

I was privileged to read an early version of this book!

This book is funny, hot and an engaging story! Alyssa is unhappy in her job, and just broke up with her long-term fiancée Zach, probably one year too late. She has a fling with her smoking hot neighbour, Marc, only to find that Zach is prepared to fight to get her back. Marc has lusted after Alyssa for more years than he cares to take note, so when she comes home, decidedly un-engaged, he feels like he finally has a chance with her. Then her fiancée shows up. Marc, Alyssa and Zach find themselves in a strange, live version of the ‘Bachelorette’, with Marc and Zach willing to do anything to win over Alyssa. I can't wait to read the next instalment of the series. 💋

After a failed relationship Alyssa heads home for the holidays. Little did she know that she was in for the best time of her life. She has had a crush on Marc who is her neighbor for a very long time.He has also been crushing on her for as long as he can remember. Never having a shot with this beautiful woman, he was about to give up. When Marc sees the opportunity to spend time with her, he takes it and it is more than they both could have thought. They complement each other and the chemistry is sizzling hot. There are a series of decisions to be made that will affect their future. I loved reading this story and I'm on my way to devour the second story in this series.

Alyssa is unhappy in her job, and just broke up with her long-term fiancée Zach, probably one year too late. She has a fling with her smoking hot neighbor, Marc, only to find that Zach is prepared to fight to get her back.

Marc has lusted after Alyssa for more years than he cares to take note, so when she comes home, decidedly un-engaged, he feels like he finally has a chance with her. Then her fiancée shows up, finally showing a shred of integrity.

Marc, Alyssa and Zach find themselves in a strange, live version of the ‘Bachlorette’, with Marc and Zach willing to do anything to win over Alyssa.

Carrie Lomax’s debut book is a fun, sexy Christmas gift you won’t be able to put down! Curl up in those flannel pajamas, grab your hot beverage of choice and be prepared to be wowed!

Say You'll Stay (Holiday Heat) was my last read of the year and I've enjoyed it very much.
I've read the little snippet at the end of the book and I can't wait to read Carrie Lomax next installment of the series.

It was nice to meet Alyssa and follow her journey of personal growth and the pursuit of her true happiness,not settling for anything other than the best to please her family.

Don't miss this funny,hot and engaging story and the debut author who wrote it!

Alyssa breaks up with her rich, controlling, arrogant, commitment phobe boyfriend Zach on Christmas Eve. She delays her trip from New York to Florida to be its her family because he is going to take her out for a special dinner and propose, but he stands her up and shows up five hours later. She goes home and ends up hooking up with her next door neighbor Marc. Then Zach shows up to pick up as if nothing has happened. Jerk!! What’s a girl to do when two alpha men start to literally fight over you? Delightful book that catches you from the first page to the last. Very enjoyable!
