Debbiereadsbook (1202 KP) rated Hot Conduit (Hot Under the Collar #2) in Books
Feb 6, 2024
This is book 2 in the Hot Under the Collar series, and it can totally be read as a stand alone. HOWEVER, I loved book 1, Sweat Connection, like LOVED IT, so I strongly recommend you read that book as well. Not necessary, but my personal opinion.
Taken from the review I wrote for book one:
I'm not rehashing the blurb, and I'm not telling you the story, I'ma just gonna jump straight in!
READ THIS FREAKING BOOK, PEOPLE!
Again, I'm jumping straight in, cos I bloody loved this book!
Theo and Lex have chemistry, right from the start, but the major dislike for each other takes centre stage for a time. Once they click on the app, all bets are off.
I loved that Lex, once he knew about them, made an effort to ease Theo's issues with germs. Like he took wet wipes for Theo to clean the table at the diner. I loved those little things he did.
There is steam here, so much steam. Once they decide to act of the attraction, it flies hawt off the charts! But emotional too. Theo is dealing with his past exes, and Lex had his heart broken. But they get there, they really do.
I loved the goat yoga! I could see that happening, it was so much fun!
I loved book one, and I loved this one too. I can't wait for book 3!

I loved the dynamic between Holland and Collin. It's a crush, it's a ruse, it's love. The characters are easy to relate to and you root for them the entire book. There are some VERY steamy parts in the book that make the book just that perfect segway from sweet to sultry. As a woman, I'd love to rumple some sheets with Collin myself. :)
As with any romance, the storyline runs on a formula:
*girl meets boy
*insert positive storyline
*insert insurmountable problem
*insert resolution
*insert HEA
Luckily the storyline, writing style, character dynamic, and steam give the formula the kick it needs to be a good book.
