The Hottest Couple of the Week is a weekly feature hosted by Shannon at Cocktails and Books.  We love to read our romance books and some of those books have a couple that burn up every page you read.  It’s in their honor that we have this feature.  Each week, we’ll feature a couple who’s set a book we read on fire.   You can play along too.  Join our linky, grab the button and share who your hot couple is for the week.  Then post a comment below so the rest of us can add this scorching couple to our TBR pile.

 My Hottest Couple this week are Parker and James from Kristan Higgins’ Somebody to Love
 These two made me laugh and last week that was a good thing.  They were too cute together, even when they were irritating the hell out of each other.  The chemistry between then was hot.

Here’s a couple of examples.

“Hey, Parker” came a voice. She kept cracking. “Parker?”
She looked up, her breath stuttering in and out of her chest.
Thing One. Thing One was here.
“Hi,” he said, as if she wasn’t murdering her jeans against the hood. “How’s it going?”
“There was a mouse in my pants.”
He raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Lucky mouse.” Her breath caught. Wrong thing to say. Wrong. “It’s

pretty traumatic to have a rodent in your pants, Thing One,” she snapped. “Unless you like that sort of thing.” “Oh, hey, sorry, princess,” he said, approaching her
car. “Didn’t mean to make light of your tragedy.” 

Then James took Parker’s hands, and without wait- ing, gave her a long, hot kiss that made her nearly forget < there were a hundred people watching. Then he pulled back and smiled that full, wonderful grin, his dark eyes so happy.
“Parker,” he said, “always lovely to see you.”
