    About this audiobook

    Her name is Susannah, but three men she brings together call her Hot Shot. She's the spark to a daring venture they start in a garage and build into an empire. For Sam, a rebel, the business is just the thrill he seeks; for Yank, an eccentric inventor, it's his vision fulfilled; and for Mitch, a starched marketing genius, it's a risk he has to take.

    But dreams can have a cruel price. For Susannah, daughter of a bigwig in a competing company, success means losing her family. The trade-off is unimagined courage and a passion that will enrich her dramatically. Is it worth it?

      It took me a while (and many chapters) to connect with the characters (except Sam, I didn't want to!), but by the end, I couldn't get enough of it and didn't want to finish it. again, SEP dazzled me with her book! too many stories in one book, but they make sense all together!!
    • 4/5
      This is one of SEP's earlier books (published 1991) and her writing style has really changed (for the better) since then. There was little evidence of her typical humor that I loved in books like It Had to Be You and Match Me If You Can. The story (which felt more like a saga covering almost 500 pages) focuses around Susannah Faulconer's life from a small child through her rise in the corporate world and the computer industry. But there was too much detail on the emerging computer industry and not enough romance. The characters were complex and interesting but the romance felt tacked on. Not my favorite SEP. (Grade: C+)

      I really enjoyed this book. I am not a romance novel connoisseur. I have thumbed through a few over the years as some of the book covers scream. Without fail, within four or five pages, I want to gag. (Romance addicts are now scrolling to the bottom of this review and clicking "no".) Romance novels just aren't (weren't?) my thing. Then along came Suzie, the heroine of Hot Shot.Author Susan Elizabeth Phillips has done her homework. The plot, yes there is a real plot, evolves around the Silicon Valley in the late `70s and the emergence of the computer and nerd nirvana. The story is fascinating. It is nostalgic - where were you when Elvis died?I read Hot Shot because I was told that I would like it. I was really skeptical. "Give it chance", it was suggested. Five pages in "His voice rose over the roar of the Harley, and his dark, mesmerizing eyes speared through her skin" activated the gag reflex."Give it a chance" echoed in my mind. I did and I am glad.

      Disappointing. The only SEP I couldn't make myself finish.
    • 3/5
      I'm impressed with they way she is able to have such comprehensive character development. Her characters fall in love, and fall out of love all within the course of the novel. This was a good romance, and it had lots of suspense as well.

      Love S.E.B books
      This one was a little harder to get into at first because of the «  dated » history of computers.
      I still loved it though
      A must, as are all her books

      DNF at page 70. This wasn't working for me. I enjoyed the backstory of Susannah and it did capture my heart. However, I am not able to suspend my disbelief that she would tolerate Sam especially after knowing her backstory. It just didn't add up to me. Also, her Dad was so loving, warm and caring to her but treated her sister so cold? It didn't make sense to me. Life is too short and my to-read pile is too long to spend on a book I'm not loving.

      I really think this was the best book of her's I've read. Lot's of great history set around the stories of a group of flawed people who you couldn't help but love. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to this one.

      I loved every aspect of this book as I engaged so completely with each character as they were introduced by the author and into the storyline. On the back of the paperback edition I read there is a message to the reader from the author, "Of all the books I've written. I'm proudest of Hot Shot. This was a story I'd been longing to tell for years, the kind I love best - the story of a woman with the courage to take on the world of men." I read the message and I wanted to meet the character and read her story. But it's not just one story - it's so much more!
      It's a story of the birth of personal computers, of the young entrepreneur before he even knows he's an entrepreneur and is still a dreamer, of a father playing favorites, of sisters learning how to truly be sisters, of friendships on good days and on bad days, of those who speak or those who remain quiet, of those who are rich, of those who have nothing and are even richer than they really know, of those that truly know what truth and integrity really mean and so much more. Don't miss it!
