Sugar Cassavechia’s looking for a fresh start for her mother and sister in small-town Pecan Creek, touted as “The Most Honest Town in Texas,” but in a town where sex is secretly a hot topic, is it any wonder that southern rascal Jake Bentley seems destined to steal her heart?

“Hotter than Texas, is witty, charming, sexy, and fun. I found myself very wrapped up in this story and I could imagine living in Pecan Creek with its prim and proper outside, and its steamy, sexy inside.”

“What a hilarious book! All its sexual innuendoes and great characters had me on the floor laughing through this wild reading ride. I am so looking forward to the next two Pecan Creek episodes, mainly because of the humour.”

-Bookloons Reviews

“Sugar is a heroine for today’s romance reader: a strong woman who remains true to herself. This latest romance from Leonard makes a nice addition to a basic contemporary romance collection.”
