CLP Blog Tours: Pass the Hot Stuff by Dana Page
Dana Page is on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Pass the Hot Stuff. I thought the premise of the novel was great. Blythe Townsend tends to live life on the side of caution, and that holds true with her relationships. She is currently dating the “safe” guy but she thinks her relationship is fine. Yes they lack passion and his business dinners bore the pants off her, but she still thinks it’s better than playing with fire. Until…she keeps seeing a handsome man around, and he turns out to be a co-worker of her boyfriend’s. Blythe still doesn’t believe in giving up the safe guy, especially for someone who seems to be a player. But sometimes Blythe just wants the hot stuff…
I thought this was a fab debut from Dana Page. I loved the New Orleans setting, and thought Blythe was a strong heroine. I could definitely relate to her staying with the safe choice, because I have actually done that in a past relationship. I thought the cast of supporting characters were fantastic – and super funny!- and I really enjoyed this read. Sometimes I thought scenes could border on “telling” instead of “showing” in the writing, but I was able to easily get past that with the plot. There are also a lot of spicy scenes in there if you enjoy a bit of romance Great debut!
