To that end, Micki is now holding tryouts for the position of new man in her life. Current leading contender Damian Fuller is a professional ballplayer and a major-league playboy. Those who would like to go head-to-head with the wildest player in the league for a chance at winning Micki's heart should apply in person . . .

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

HOT NUMBER is a fast-paced, sexy read that had me completely engrossed from beginning to end.

From the minute I opened the pages of HOT NUMBER, Micki and Damian came alive for me. Their chemistry lit up the pages of this book. As soon as Micki walks into the men's locker room and Damian speaks, you can feel the sparks that fly between the two of them. And honestly, what woman can say that she has never had a crush on a man that seemed totally unattainable to her?

HOT NUMBER is a perfect book. There is not a bad thing that I can say about it. I loved the characters and how alive they were to me, the plot was interesting, and the sex is mind blowing. Also, the great relationship that Micki has with her family is nice to watch.

Carly Phillips has another masterpiece here, that will keep readers coming back for more.
