Hot Mess by Emma Hart Excerpt and Giveaway

05/18/2020

Hot Mess by Emma Hart

Hot Mess is enrolled into kindle unlimited.

What do you do when the whole world has seen you getting down and dirty in a broom closet?

I, Elle Evans, am on the run.
Not from the fuzz—although that would be more exciting.
No, I’m on the run from the four-year-old private tape that, thanks to my vengeful ex, has probably already ruined my vlogging career.
There’s nothing like the entire world knowing what you look like mid-O.
Creek Keys, Florida, is a million miles away from NYC and the perfect place for me to hide for the rest of summer until I can figure out what I’m going to do.
Something that’s easier said than done since my new landlord’s daughter thinks you’re God’s greatest gift. Even better? Their beach house is right next to the one I’m renting, so there’s no getting away from her—or her hot, British dad.
Who most definitely does not think I’m role model material.
He might be right.
The problem is that neither of us can say no to her.
Or each other.


“Why do I have to shower every single day?”
“Because you get dirty every single day,” he said so automatically I just knew this was a daily conversation they had.
Another sigh, but Ari did as she was told and went upstairs.
“You do that daily, don’t you?” I asked.
“Every single day.” He ran his hand through his hair. “I think she does it now just to do it. It’s not like she doesn’t know she has to shower every day before bed. It’s been a thing for three years.”
I grinned. “You are going to have so much fun with her when she’s in her teen years.”
“You and I have very different definitions of fun,” he said dryly. “I’m not looking forward to that at all. It’s already starting.”
“Ooh, that’s gonna be rough.”
“You could be supportive and give me advice.”
“Honestly, I’m not sure what advice to give to a man who has to guide a teenage girl through the most troubled years of her life. Buy noise canceling headphones? Educate yourself on tampons? Invest in something stronger than beer? Find God, because you’re gonna need him?”
“That really wasn’t the support I was going for.” I snorted. “I’m not going to lie to you. Puberty sucks. Girls are the worst. I have no idea how my parents did it with two girls without anyone dying.”
There was a knock at the door, and Theo got up. “Maybe I should have spent more time on dating the last few years. Someone who knows what they’re doing would be helpful.”
I laughed.
“Aunt Elsie,” he said, surprised.
I peered through the doorway into the hall.
“Can we—”
“No,” he said immediately.
“But—”
“No.”
“Theodore—”
“Do not call me Theodore.”
I grinned. Theodore. Why hadn’t I assumed that was his full name?
“Then stop interrupting me, you rude child.”
“I’m not a child.”
“Then do stop acting like one and let me in.” She shoved past him, letting herself in, and stopped when she saw me. “Elle! My new friend!”
All right, then.
“Hi, Elsie.” I waved. “How are you?”
“I’m just fine. We’re seeing the mayor tomorrow for our weekly protest, and I have a doozy of an article to show him about UFO sightings off the coast of Creek Keys.”

    I try to reign my “hot messes” in because of my profession; however, sometimes they slip through. I tend to be a hot mess every morning. I can never seem to get anything right, plus, I always tend to spill my coffee, but if you know me, you know that I need my caffeine in order to function.

    Hot Mess mama over here. I almost hit some guy in the Costco parking lot while reversing. I was all frazzled bc I was bringing my mom her car keys after she locked her groceries and purse inside her car (hot mess runs in the family, I guess) and I wasn’t as focused as I should have been. Luckily he was watching out and we didn’t collide.

    Oh boy! Where do I begin? I am a total hot mess! I once went grocery shopping and was wearing a dress. There was something spilt on the floor and I didn’t see it. Well I slipped and fell and had my arse in the air for everyone to see and I was wearing the most unflattering underwear of all time! It’s safe to say I never returned to that store again ?

    I’m a total hot mess. My life is a string of unfortunate events, but I always see the funny side of it (eventually). Last year I pulled a muscle in my leg running away from a wasp (very painful and not recommended). I ended up having to sit on the sofa for a week as I couldn’t walk. My family had to do everything for me. Life lesson learnt… the wasp probably wasn’t the problem.

    I’m always dropping shit! Always. By 7am I’ve dropped everything I touch. I break things all the time. I trip. I’ve actually fractured both ankles, my right foot. I’ve shattered bones in my left foot. All in the snow/ ice. Apparently I can’t walk. Seriously I make people laugh all the time. I even laughed so hard out with friends at the bar and pee’d myself. Ughh I. Gonna stop now. Thanks for the giveaway. Lol

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.

If you have a trade-in you get another 20% off plus the value of the trade-in. The new Kindle Paperwhite ended up costing me $59. And it is SO WORTH IT.

The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE n The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE number of people who are OBSESSED with it. I love Kate Stewart and needed to see what all the hype was about despite it being a long commitment (40+ Hours). In the end, it just wasn’t for me. It was too toxic and I never fell in love with and rooted for the MCs. Maybe I’m just too old? I wanted so much to love this! As much as I hate to sometimes, I review every book I read or listen to.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was e The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was everything I could have dreamed of. I was nervous, because I’ve read a few other books that totally changed my opinion of the hero after reading their pov (and not in a good way). I was glad I went into this without a recent re-read of Halfway to the Grave (until after) because I wasn’t comparing the two, and The Other Half of the Grave felt fresh and new. 

I loved reading this almost as much as I loved reading the first book so many years ago, and that’s saying a lot, because I have read thousands of books since, and it still remains a favorite. If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.
