A sexy new standalone second chance romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely

At first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on.
And sometimes you have to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I'm prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love.

Fabulous, hot, funny second chance read...

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2017

Verified Purchase

Lauren Blakely is now my favourite queen of RomCom and having enjoyed so many of her fabulous hot and funny reads I was concerned she may have run out of steam, and yet with 'The Hot One' she has once again out done herself. This is a sexy, sweet, fun second chance romance. If you've read any of Ms. Blakely's recent books, you will recognize several of the characters in this book. Tyler Nichols is the cousin of Clay Nichols (who plays a very pivotal role in the Seductive Nights series) - fyi it doesn't matter if you haven't read it as it is very much a stand alone.
Tyler and Delaney were two pre-law students who were madly in love when Tyler abruptly dumped her just before graduation with little explanation. Nearly a decade later and neither has seen or spoken to the other.
Tyler Nichols is not only a successful entertainment lawyer, he's a caring Uncle and he also is a man who let "the one" get away. Of course in the blink of an eye everything can change and just maybe he can right some wrongs and the top of the list for him would be Delaney Stewart...
Delaney hadn't forgotten him, he broke her heart and left her questioning so much. Now that he's back, she isn't willing to jump right back where they were. She doesn't trust that he'll toss her aside yet again and this time it would break her. Tyler is a fabulous leading man - he is impetuous, impulsive, and focussed all at the same time. He isn’t shy about letting his feelings known this time, he just has to figure out how to get Delaney to believe him.
As is usual in Lauren Blakely's books, this couple had great chemistry, the book had humour and a little bit of angst. Their relationship was natural and slipped back into their College personas easily. I loved their banter and sweet moments along with Tyler's crazy and impulsive behaviour. Each of Lauren Blakeley's standalone's pull you in and keeps you locked into the story.
Told in dual POV's we get insight from both characters which I love and either cameos or references to other characters from her previous books which is always a treat... One click this immediately you won't be disappointed.

I do like reading this author but this wasn't one of my favourites. I enjoy 2nd chance stories however there nothing really in it that blew me away. A bit predictable nothing out of the ordinary for me. Having said that it was well written, hot in places but the humour didn't do it for me.

Tyler is Hot! And Steamy!

Reviewed in Australia on 1 March 2017

I am loving this series of standalones by Lauren Blakely. This book, even thought it is not as much as a rom-com as the others, is full of romance which is my treat. Tyler Nichols is an entertainment lawyer in Manhattan. Life is great, he loves his job and equally loves spending time with his niece, Carly. It was on one of their visits to Central Park that Tyler spots his college sweet heart out jogging with her girlfriends. Delaney Stewart has life going extremely well, until she spots Tyler in the park with a little girl......his?

Tyler and Delaney had a past in college that had a bright future together but Tyler followed his head instead of his heart and they parted ways before heading off to Law School. People do change in life, they learn from their mistakes, but the fundamentals are still the same. Tyler needs to slow down and not cut corners to win back the love and trust of this special woman.

What can I say to convince you that this is another outstanding book from this author, just that! It's written by Lauren Blakely, and if you have read the others, you will know it is going to be a winner. If this is your first book by her, then hang on to your seat.....you are in for one romantic and sexy ride. I can tell you, getting my mail with never be the same, and no one has EVER apologised to me in the why Tyler does first up to Delaney, I wish! This tale of a second chance romance is going to make you swoon completely.

The Hot One by Lauren Blakely (Audio Edition)
Narrated by Andi Arndt & Zachary Webber

4.5 Stars - This was the perfect second chance story. Sweet, funny and sexy. I loved how Tyler, went all-in to win back Delaney, and I loved how she couldn't resist him. It was easy to listen to this story all in one go, as the narrators did a wonderful job! It was exactly what I was looking for!

5 STARS! I loved this sexy, swoony second-chance rom com!

Reviewed in the United States on 26 February 2017

Over the last year, Lauren Blakely has skyrocketed straight to the top of my auto-buy authors list. Sometimes, I feel like I’m in a perpetual state of waiting for her next book to release, so when I get my hands on one, it’s like Christmas, my birthday and Valentine’s Day all wrapped up into one. Getting lost in the pages of one of her novels is one my favorite indulgences. It’s a treat, an absolute pleasure, and the stories Ms. Blakely writes are a perfect example of why I’m a devoted romance reader.

Stars aligning, a surprise reunion, the pieces of the past clicking into place with those of the future… oh yes, it’s safe to say that I adore the whole second-chance trope. Two lovers reconnecting and rekindling a great love that had been lost is a beautiful thing, and The Hot One was a magnificent blend of the familiarity of an old love and the excitement of a new one. I was already on the edge of my seat anticipating this book, so when I did get it, I was positively vibrating with excitement. It took tremendous restraint on my part not to just devour this story whole, but I somehow managed to slow down and enjoy the magic of a lost love being found again. The Hot One drew me right in from the start of those dual his-and-hers prologues and held me – hoping, wishing and praying – until that spectacular moment of surrender when two obviously meant-to-be lovers give in. This is something that Lauren Blakely does incredibly well, and it’s a huge reason why I’m such a big fan of her writing. Her unique ability to tease me with the build-up, stoking that fire until the anticipation explodes as the butterflies in my belly take flight at that all-or-nothing moment when everything comes breathtakingly together.

Tyler Nichols is, well, the hot one. Gorgeous, successful, sexy and an all-around good guy. He’s also a bit cocky, not arrogantly so, but in that born from confidence kind way. Used to setting his sights on a goal and doing whatever it takes to achieve it, Tyler isn’t accustomed to the taste of regret. At least he wasn't until the day in the park when he sees her, his first love, the woman he’s never forgotten, the one he stupidly pushed away. Curiosity and a desire to clear the air may have been what initially drove him to seek her out, but it wasn’t long before it was much more than that driving him. He sees it all with her, and he wants it badly. What he didn’t realize, though, was how significant the damage was that he’d done to her long ago, and when he finally gets the full gist of it, he’s left choking on a heaping helping of regret and remorse. He is consumed with the need to fix it, to right the wrongs that he did to her, but more than that, he is desperate to win her heart again. He pulls out all the stops to do just that, and his efforts did not go unnoticed. Let’s just say that I swooned right along with Delaney as he bared himself in his quest to make her his again.

Delaney Stewart met the love of her life in college, where they spent their days pursuing their educations and their nights getting lost in each other. At that time, her path was clear – law school and building a life with Tyler. But everything changed very suddenly for her, and in the wake of that tumultuous time, she made substantial changes to her life plan. Now, eight years later, her life looks nothing like the one that they had mapped out together all those years ago. She’s happy, though, and she has her best friends and a business she’s very proud of and that fulfills her. She’s moved on (mostly) from Tyler Nichols, even though her dating life doesn’t quite tell that story. He may have been the one with all the words in their past, but it’s Delaney who leaves Tyler speechless in the present. Yet even with her walls up higher than the great one in China, she still can’t resist the pull to him. His efforts, his honesty and his vulnerability show her he’s a changed man, and now she just needs to figure out if she can trust that and build a new version of the life that they planned together in college.

I’ve always been the girl who rooted for the underdog, so it’s no surprise that I'm a sucker for a second-chance romance, and Lauren Blakely’s The Hot One is precisely what I hope for when I crack one open. Her words kept me eagerly tapping my Kindle as I squealed, sighed and soared through this couple’s heart-healing story. I loved every single thing about this exceptionally well-executed reunion. My heart raced, my cheeks burned, and I smiled from start-to-finish as I devoured this deliciously dirty do-over. The Hot One by Lauren Blakely gets five smooches from me!

The Hot One - cinco estrelas para um romance que encanta

Reviewed in Brazil on 2 March 2017

Verified Purchase

Eu adoro os livros de Lauren Blakely, especialmente a sequência de standalones iniciada com Hard Rock e que contam as histórias de personagens pertencentes ao mesmo grupo de amigos ou conhecidos. Não é preciso ter lido os livros anteriores para apreciar The Hot One, porém diversos personagens de romances anteriores da autora reaparecem neste livro.
Em seu estilo típico, Lauren lança mais um livro que encanta e diverte com diálogos inteligentes e bem humorados, romance de sobra e emoção na medida certa.
Tyler e Delaney são perfeitos juntos e separados e, com empenho e sabedoria, conquistam sua merecida segunda chance no amor.
Eu adorei vários aspectos deste romance: o desenvolvimento da trama, a forma como é contada a reaproximação dos personagens, o ressurgimento do amor maduro, a resolução dos conflitos sem excesso de sofrimento ou drama exagerado. É um romance sem grandes surpresas, cujo interesse principal repousa na reaproximação entre Tyler e Delaney após oito anos de separação.
Enquanto os livros standalones anteriores (na sua maioria contados sob o ponto de vista masculino) são mais divertidos, The Hot One possui menos momentos calcados no humor e um ritmo um pouco mais lento. No entanto, este detalhe em nada tira o charme da leitura.
The Hot One ganha cinco merecidas estrelas: divertido, charmoso, doce, sexy e romântico este romance se estabelece como mais um acerto da autora.
Adorei e recomendo.

The Hot One

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2021

The Hot One by @laurenblakelybooks is the second in her One Love series. It’s a second chance romance set in New York featuring Delaney and Tyler.

Delaney and Tyler were college sweethearts until Tyler took some crappy advice from a professor and decided to focus solely on his studies and intention of becoming a lawyer effectively cutting Delaney out of his life. They bump into each other again in Central Park and the story follows their reunion and second chance at love.

Tyler makes a few misguided attempts to correct his past mistakes with Delaney without actually consulting with her on her feelings and needs and I loved the way she kept him in check for it. She’s not being taken for a fool a second time round. Sometimes with a second chance trope you have a lot of hurt feelings and angst however I think Delaney is a really grounded character and she’s so mature that it keeps the angst at bay.

The story is really fast paced and I absolutely devoured it. This was a reread for me and I decided to listen to it on audio this time around. The audio is by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber - two of my go to narrators - and I really enjoyed it. I could recommend either version of this so whatever your reading style is you can pick this one up. You don’t have to read the series in order, the stories can stand on their own but I like to as there are characters throughout and I like to know their story before finding out who they’re with in someone else’s story!
