Deceived, May 28 2009
By Mathis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Some Like It Hot (Paperback)
I felt I was deceived in believing these were all new stories by Mrs. Jackson. As I began to read the first story it felt of déjà vu. After doing some research I found out these are rehash short stories from previous works of combine short stories with other authors. You must understand I do not have a problem with this reprint, I just wish it was stated "reprinted from previous works". I enjoyed the stories the first time around, but not enough to purchase a second time.
By the way I give the book top rating because of the first read. I just wish I had not been deceived for a second read.

I Like It Hot, Too, April 28 2009
By ChickLitGurrl™ "Shonell Bacon" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Some Like It Hot (Paperback)
In the romance world, Brenda Jackson is practically a household name; she is known for her bestselling sexy stories that turn up the heat between flawed but real men and women. In her first ever short story collection, Jackson continues to add the sizzle she's known and loved for. In a book titled SOME LIKE IT HOT, a reader wants the HOT, and I got it here. The sexual tension between the main characters is palpable, especially in my favorite of the five stories, "Strictly Business." Almost more so than Jackson's way with the sexy word, I enjoyed the main characters Jackson developed. Out of the five stories, no two characters are alike, and their yearnings, that "something" that pulled them through the story, felt real and authentic. My only issue, and it's a "me thing" is length of stories. At times, I felt like I was reading either really long short stories or short novellas, but Jackson's talent as a writer keeps you from feeling the stories trudge along. Hopefully, Jackson will grace us with more shorter works in the futures - "quickies" to whet our "need to have it now" appetites!

A Hot Collection..., Oct 12 2009
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Some Like It Hot (Paperback)
In "Main Agenda", Lincoln Corbain still remembers the "spring-break fling" he shared with Raven Anderson. During the week they spent on Daytona Beach, they shared mind-blowing and unforgettable nights of passion. Four years later, when he sees her again in a bar, he can not help but to approach her. But, Raven has her heart content on another agenda.
In "Strictly Business", can Mitch Farrell earn back the love and respect of his ex-wife Regina Grant? Mitch returns to Houston with a plan...to win back Regina. Regina, a successful journalist, agrees, at his request, to write a story on him for publication. They agree to a strictly business arrangement, but can Regina really forgive him for putting his career over their marriage?
In "Irresistable Attraction" Sydney Corbain discovers she has feelings for a musician, Tyrone Hardcastle. But is she willing to give herself to a man, who puts his women second to his music, especially when the last thing Tyrone wanted was to complicate his life by letting his emotions and feelings for Sydney take over.
In "Extremen Satisfaction" Cathleen McAlister needs a man. Not just any man, but one who can give her extreme satisfaction. Rory Dawkins has already been ditched once by Cathleen for the sake of sacrificing her career. Now he is more than prepared to show her that if she wants him back, it would be on his terms.
"The Hunter" Hunter Sloan doesn't believe in commitments. When Mallory Standish suggest that she wants more from their affair, they decided it's time to go their separate ways. They do, until Mallory hires Hunter to watch her brother-in-law, whom she expects is cheating on her sister. Hunter cannot deny the attraction he feels for Mallory, but can she tame the Hunter?
