About this listen

'The laugh-out-loud, sun-drenched rivals to lovers romance from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Lynn Painter and Emily Henry!

'I absolutely adored Too Hot To Handle! I thought it was so funny and so fun - I raced through it in one big, lovely read-y gulp. It deserves to be taken on so many holidays this summer.' - Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes

Tropes & Themes: Wedding / Sun-drenched romance / Forced proximity / Sweet and spicy / Rivals

One bachelorette party. One stag do. One double-booked villa and only one way to decide who gets it: a competition.

Workaholic Molly is buzzing when her best friend tells her she’s getting married. As maid of honour Molly can’t wait for the perfect bachelorette party in Spain. What could be better than a week in a stunning villa? Sun, sea, cocktails and gossiping – and best of all, no boys allowed. But when the hens arrive they discover that they are not alone. The villa has been accidentally double booked by a group of stags who make it very clear they’re not leaving!

It’s a disaster, and no one wants to give up their place in paradise. Attempts at compromising fail instantly, so their only option is to have a winner takes all competition. Battle lines are drawn and it is girls v boys - but will the competition be too hot to handle?

As their rivalry heats up, and Molly finds herself gravitating towards stag Travis, it’s clear that he’s enjoying the attention - but Molly can’t let herself get distracted, and under no circumstances can she fall for the enemy.

Not sure on the narrator seemed a bit computerised at times, lacked expressive adjectives but was able to enjoy the book

Again, another fabulous listen from Portia. It astonishes me how she manages to write all her books in such quick succession and they are so funny.
Super!

I’m not a massive ‘laugh out louder’ but I listened to this whilst driving and it was so funny I giggled throughout the journey. So good I would stay in my drive way listening until the end of a chapter before I got out of the car. That’s the sign of a highly entertaining book for me. Love the narrator too.

Great read

Unusual for this author, but I struggled to get into this book. I almost requested a credit refund but as time went on it got better. Wouldn’t say I’d recommend but ok. Great narration by Karen Cass as always though!

A slow burner

I loved this story. I could imagine all of the characters and I laughed out loud so many times!

Excellent

I looooove Portia MacIntosh usually and I will forever be first in the queue to buy her latest book. I have to say I was disappointed with this one. I couldn’t actually tell you why.. I just found it a bit boring. But that is just my opinion - others seem to like it so don’t just go off my personal opinion!

It was okay.
