BOOK REVIEW- LOVE SO HOT (The Lawson Brothers) by Marquita Valentine

Bank Teller and all around good girl, Sydney McKnight, is tired of being the girl all the guys want to have as a friend. Who better to help unleash her inner vixen than her best friend and secret crush, Brody Lawson? Only, Sydney has no idea how to ask him, without their friendship going up in flames, until that is, the town of Jessamine's annual Firemen's Auction gives her the perfect excuse to set her plan into motion.

Fire Captain Brody Lawson has been in love with his best friend, Sydney, for years, but he would never risk their friendship by confessing his feelings to her. So, when Sydney beats out the competition to buy his time at the annual Firemen's Auction, Brody can hardly believe his luck until she asks him to teach her how to seduce a fellow fireman.

Now, it’s up to Brody to show Sydney how perfect she already is and convince her that the only man for her is him, because if Sydney is going to seduce any man, it’s going to be him. And once he has her in his bed, he’s not letting her go.  AMAZON 4 STARS

This was a fun story.   With two attractive people who have known each other for so many years.  But they are also afraid to try to take it to the next level.  Oh, I get it but geez, what a blockhead Brody could be.  Of course it helped make the story.  
The McCoy sisters end up becoming close friends to Sydney because they wanted to help true love.  The names of these women though, they are different.  Who names their children, Apple, Lemon, Cherry; altogether in a group?  Still they were really good supporting characters and I do mean characters. 
The sense of family and community was good and strong in the story. And it was surprising when you find out in the end how many people were rooting for Brody and Sydney to get together!  That is not the only surprise that comes out either.

We get a quick peek into the story about Lucas Lawson and that sounds interesting too.  Love is True is the name of that book.
Can I just say..what the heck is going on with Lemon and Tristan?  

They must  have their own story.   I looked and yes they do.  "Love So Tempting".   Looks like things are going to be stirred up even more in  Jessamine, North Carolina than they have been.
