Synopsis
Dear Listener, Cate Madigan isn't asking for trouble. Her wacky Irish family is constantly playing matchmaker for her with men who leave much to be desired. All she wants is peace and quiet and a nice place to live while she saves her money from tending bar in a lively Boston pub. Okay, so what if her roommate is a cross-dressing lounge singer named Marty Longfellow? In exchange for cheap rent, all she has to do is take care of his plants and collect his mail when he's out of town. And then…Marty disappears. At the same time, a bullmastiff named Beast shows up with instructions from Marty to take care of him. Can Cate handle this 120-pound bundle of joy who wants to devour everything in sight? Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate's bar his nightly hang-out. But is he just there for the beer? Or does he have an ulterior motive for getting close to Cate? When Cate comes home to a ransacked apartment, she realizes Kellen knows more than he's saying. Problem is, he's turning up the heat in her life - in more ways than one. Soon Cate finds herself in deep trouble with mysterious stalkers, a lovesick would-be boyfriend named Patrick Pugg, two friends who are looking for love, and the very sexy, possibly dangerous Kellen McBride. The south side of Boston has never been wilder.... Happy Listening!

Reviews
This book isn't a thought provoking book. But I didn't expect it to be. It's your typical boy meets girl, boy wins girl, boy and girl live happily ever after type of book. Exactly what I like in a light summer read.
This reminds me of some of her earlier work, pre- Plum. Some characters mimic those that we have seen in other series - but are recreated with a twist. In all a fun, fast, light hearted read - great for the beach!
I love Janet Evanovich. She has fun mysteries and love stories that make me laugh out loud! HOT STUFF is a great beach read�.funny I read it when I was in the mountains though�.It is about a cake baking bartending student Cate who lives with a female impersonator named Marty who entertains at her place of employment. Enter one night a handsome stranger who is interested in Marty because he is a professional property retriever named Kellan who is tracking down some stolen goods her roommate might have acquired. Also stir in the mix a huge friendly watch dog named Beast, Marty�s rabid female benefactor, an obsessed admirer named Pugg who refers to himself in the third person, a wild Irish family, a friend named Sharon who sells real estate and buys shoes, a party trolley hostess from Alabama named Julie who is an observer of life and writes about it, and a mysterious tenant in Apartment 2B. All combine to make a delicious summer dessert! Enjoy! T
This was a great light read. I took it with me to the beach today and laughed out loud multiple times. The story was cute, but I think the secondary characters really made this book great. This was an entertaining book and the first Janet Evanovich that I'ved read and I'll be sure to read more by her.
