    About this ebook

    From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Bernard comes a second chance to fall in love ...


    Ben, the most romantic of Jupiter Point's smoking hot Knight brothers, knew from the moment he met his high school sweetheart, Julie deGaia, that she was the one for him. Marriage, kids…he wanted forever with Julie—until the moment she skipped town without a word. Then Ben’s father was murdered, and his life was irrevocably changed. Now, after twelve years, Julie’s back. Ben’s over her, of course. They’re completely different people now.
    Right. If they’re so different, why do his feelings for her seem so damn familiar?
    And how, after all this time, can she still make Ben so hot and bothered?
    Julie was never supposed to return to Jupiter Point. It’s only by staying away that she’s ensured her safety. But she owes a huge debt to the wealthy and demanding Reinhard family, who took her in as a child. What the Reinhards want, they get, so here she is, dodging a handsomer-than-ever Ben Knight. Her former sweetheart has turned into a hunky pilot who aims that sexy smile at everyone except her—until he learns the truth about why she left in the first place.
    If the past can’t keep Ben and Julie apart, a deadly threat in the present might. As for that idyllic future they always dreamed about? It might take some Jupiter Point magic to put this star-crossed couple on the road to happy ever after.

      What do you do when your high school love comes back into town 11 years after she ran off & left you behind? According to Ben Knight, you act like it didn't bother you, ignore her, & avoid places you may run into her. The thing is, Ben can't pull it off. Everyone can tell it bothers him & that he is still extremely hurt by what he sees as her actions. Ben has gone on to have an excellent military career & now is co-owner of Knight & Day, a flying tour business. He just hadn't found anyone to settle down with. Can he forgive Julie & move on? Julie can't figure out why Ben is so mad at her. She's the one that left him a message to set up a meeting when she had to leave town & he stood her up. Who knew that her message wasn't delivered? She's devoted her life to helping her best friend raise her child. She's brought him back to Jupiter Point up visit his grandparents & manages to get mixed up in the Knight brothers search for their father's killer. Now she's realized she never left her feelings for Ben behind. She just ignored them. Can she find a way to integrate a relationship with Ben into her life without everything falling apart? This was a great second chance love story! As the reader gets involved in the story, Ms. Bernard's writing style has you feeling the same emotions that the characters were feeling. Every time the Reinhards emphasized that Julie wasn't a true part of the family, you feel her hurt & pain. When Julie & Ben were near each other, their chemistry burned hot, heavy & intense. The interactions between Julie, Savannah & Felix showcased the love & affection they felt for each other. The plot was intriguing & the continued thread of trying to discover who killed the Knight's father added unexpected twists & suspense. Great story!!

      WOW! WOW! WOW! I LOVE and Adore this series, Jupiter Point, so very much. And with HOT AND BOTHERED we get the story of Ben and his high school girlfriend Julie. I love reunited romances and this one is truly engaging. The story follows along as Ben and Julie reunite but it's not all "happy and fun", Ben is still mad over how things ended and Julie isn't sure why Ben is mad when she's the one who was left. It takes time for the truth of what really happened to their high school romance to come to light and then they have to decide can their "new" love really last when their lives are so different? I loved watching these two find out the truth and come to terms with their different views of the past. When the present interferes with their romance once more they have to figure out if they can trust in the love they share or let each other go. The romance is strong, well written and engaging. The characters are realistic and believable. HOT AND BOTHERED is part of the Jupiter Point series but can be read a lone. Yes there are recurring characters and a sub story that continues to grow as the series goes on but you will not be lost if you start with HOT AND BOTHERED you will however want to read the previous titles. Highly Highly Recommended!
