Hot As Hale (Hale Series, #3) by Marie James

Title: Hot As Hale 
Series: Hale Series #3
Author: Marie James
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: September 7, 2015
Innocent Joselyne Bennett loves her quiet life. As an elementary teacher her days include teaching kids then going home to research fun science projects to add to her lesson plan. Her only excitement is living vicariously through her sister Lorali and friend Alexa Warner. 
Incredibly gorgeous police detective Kaleb Perez was going through the motions of life. His position on the force as a narcotics detective forced him to cross paths with Josie after a shooting involving her friend. 
On more than one occasion Kaleb discretely tried to catch Josie’s eye. On every occasion he was ignored but when her hand is forced after a break-in at her apartment Josie and Kaleb are on a collision course with each other. Formerly timid Josie is coaxed out of her shell by the sexy-as-sin Kaleb who nurtures her inner sex-kitten in the most seductive ways, and replaces her inexperience with passionate need. 
The small group has overcome so much in such a short period of time and just when they think they can settle back into their lives they are forced back into the unknown. Can Kaleb protect Josie from further tragedy? Can she let him go once the threat of danger is gone?
This is a standalone erotic contemporary novel. The next book in the Hale Series: To Hale and Back is the conclusion of the series and in the point of view of all six characters.
Recommended for readers 18 and up due to strong language and explicit sexual content.
 
Marie James, full-time working mother of two boys and wife of 11 years. I've spent almost my entire lifetime living in central Texas, with only short stays in South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. I've always wanted to write novels and just recently had the gumption to sit down and start one. My passions include reading everything under the sun and sewing. I even listen to audio books while sewing. Coming to Hale is my debut novel and book 1 in the 4 book Hale Series. I have several other story lines worked out for other books once this series is complete. Reading and writing is my happy place. Hope you enjoy my debut novel.

Underneath all that innocence, does an exotic minx exist? 

Innocent Joselyne Bennett loves her quiet life. As an elementary teacher her days include 

teaching kids then going home to research fun science projects to add to her lesson plan. Her 

only excitement is living vicariously through her sister Lorali and friend Alexa Warner. Incredibly 

gorgeous police detective Kaleb Perez was going through the motions of life. His position on the 

force as a narcotics detective forced him to cross paths with Josie after a shooting involving her 

friend. 

On more than one occasion Kaleb discretely tried to catch Josie’s eye. On every occasion he 

was ignored but when her hand is forced after a break-in at her apartment Josie and Kaleb are 

on a collision course with each other. Formerly timid Josie is coaxed out of her shell by the 

sexy-as-sin Kaleb who nurtures her inner sex-kitten in the most seductive ways, and replaces 

her inexperience with passionate need. (Amazon Blurb)

Simply put: wow. They barely speak to each other (in the beginning) and yet Josie and Kaleb 

still manage to make my arms bust out in goosebumps! Who would have thought?! The last 

instalment of a trilogy following the Hale family, this novel talks about Josie, sister to Lorali who 

is engaged to Ian Hale, and Kaleb Perez, friend of Ian Hale. After months of leaving business 

cards and waiting for Josie to call him for a date, Kaleb hopes, after much encouragement from 

friends, that after court for the attempted murder of Alexa (see the second book of the series) to 

put into place 'Operation Get A Date' and hope for the best. Captivating, adorable (Josie seems 

innocent and quiet) and hilarious to boot, Marie James keeps entertaining her readers with her 

unique way of creating stories that are simply vibrant and well worth the time it takes to finish.
