Next week my second book in my Savannah Sizzles series comes out. This is only a two book series of four orphaned girls an old murder that brought them all togehter.
Hot and Irresistible is Bebe and BrieAnn’s story and the men they fall in love with. Bebe is a detective in Savannah and a friend is accused of an old murder then new murders. Donovan McCabe, a Yank, is called in to solve the case putting Bebe and Donovan in opposite sides of the case during the day but the same side of the bed at night. Bebe was adopted by a woman who hated her…so why did she adopt Bebe? BrieAnn was adopted by judge and when she falls for Beau who’s father is accused of running an illegal gambling casino, the judge is not happy. What’s Brie to do? The heart wants what the heart wants but she loves her dad.
Prissy is back learning the voodoo ways of her grandmother, well she’s trying to learn the ways. Don’t drink and do voodoo it could be hazardous to your health and those around you. Charlotte is helping her fiancée Griff run Magnolia House and is not a fan of the Donovan McCabe but then even Southern women can be wrong once in a while.
Hot and Irresistible is one of those books of the heart. I love, love, love Savannah. I love the people, the speak, the little bit slower way of life and love. I love the food and going to The Pink House for crab cakes and Savannah Bistro for garlic grits that are to die for. And I love this old city and how it’s been restored. The twenty-one squares with the live oaks and dim lights at night, the cobble stone streets, how the whole city is under a canopy of trees protecting it from the summer sun and I especially love the restored mansions and old houses loaded with history and a few ghosts to make it all so interesting.
Hot and Irresistible is especially a book of the heart as I used my brother as a model for one of the characters. My brother’s name is Ray and he lives in Cleveland so I have a character named Ray Cleveland. He’s sixty-something and a terrific guy and the one accused of the murders that are tearing at the relationship between Bebe and Donovan.
I hope you all enjoy reading Hot and Irresistible as much as I loved writing it. I’ll give away two copies of Hot and Bothered and two T-shirts from the discussions.
Hugs,

These sound so great and I am absolutely looking forward to reading them. I know that seeing Savannah through your words will be amazing. What does your brother think about having an accused murderer named after him?
I would love to be entered. Have a great day.
Hi, Lori.
the character I named after my brother is a neat guy and fun to write. No one’s all bad.
thanks for chatting
I’m so looking forward to reading this. It seems like we’ve been waiting forever and now it’s finally almost here. Don’t enter me in the contest – I already have both!
Hi Dianne,
The Savannah Sizzles series sounds like it has plot twists and turns with mystery and intrigue. My kind of cuppa. Can’t wait to start now that both books are out. I know, I’m one of those that can’t start a series unless I have all the books.
Now I don’t have to wait. Congratulations on your new release!!
Hi, Lisa!
wonderful hearing from you. Thanks for chatting and all the good thoughts and support.
Hi, Armenia!
I love to read all the series at once too. I think that’s why I buy TV series on DVD and not wait to see how things turn out.
The twists and turns are fun to write, sure keeps the book going. Thanks for chatting.
I too love to read series books. Love the covers.
congrats on teh books

Hi, Rose and Kim.
I love the covers too. Sensual.
Kim, I hope you get to Savannah. You”d love it.
Rose, series books are the best. I’m just getting into the setting and the plot with one book…one book is never enough.
Hugs, Dianne
Hi Diane. Hot and Irresistible sounds great. Savannah is one of the places I hope to visit someday.
I’ve never been to Savannah, but have been intrigued by it since I read In the Garden of Good and Evil..that was set in Savannah I think..wasn’t it? As far as I remember is has been, then also because of Paula Deen. I think she lives in or around Savannah as well.
There’s so much richness, history, great architecture, not to mention the people that I can completely understand why it plays a role in this series. Hot and Irresistible sounds like a great read and will be looking forward to the other sisters stories. Congrats on the new book!
Both of these books sound great. I like the idea of the story, four orphaned girls. I can’t wait to read their stories.
So glad you all love the Southern settings as much as I do. Can’t get enough. I think I was born on the wrong side of the Ohio River.
