Product Description:
Gold is the most precious of metals. And someone would kill to get at the dazzling exhibit of priceless Spanish treasure Abby Maitland just landed for the museum. It's too bad that Zan Duncan had to show up to protect her, but someone's waiting - and watching. She's in the crosshairs and she doesn't have a clue. Abby is mesmerized by Zan's untamed strength and his very sexual vibe. From the long dark hair, the thick, hard muscles, and the grey leather jacket right on down to the honed fighting skills and the tattoos, Zan is everything a bad boy ought to be...and everything Abby has sworn to avoid. Yet he's a master of subtle seduction, pushing her buttons with tantalizing promises of night after hot night of secret, endless pleasure. Promises that he keeps, to the letter...But danger stalks them both, for a lethal game of deception, greed, and murder is underway - a game more sinister than Abby and Zan ever imagined. And when no one can be trusted and no place is safe, passion may be the only thing that can save them...

I have become a recent fan of Shannon's and can't say enough about her books! Hot Night is no exception! The characters of Zan and Abby sizzle (mainly because of Zan-a true Alpha male) ! I would recommend this book highly to anyone who loves the romantic suspense genre. All of Shannnon's McCloud Brothers books are a must read also. Happy Reading!

I thought this book was great! I loved Zan - what a great character! I read some of the negative reviews and I totally disagree. I thought he was a lot more intelligent and sensitive than the heroine. He fell in love with her from the start. She just came along for the ride... until she finally opened her eyes and realized what had fallen into her lap. (She redeemed herself in the end for me.) I didn't mind at all his attitude towards her job. I thought he was right. Her bosses were so nasty and abusive. Why keep a job like that? And the parts where he goes "caveman" on her - I understood that, too. She spends her nights with him, but feels he is not good enough to take to a gala evening. She would rather date the villain. Doesn't show her in the best of light. He was in love for the very first time and he was scared to death. So he was nervous and made mistakes. But he kept coming back, apologizing, trying to work it out. She would have given up on him many times. Abby was not much of a fighter. He did most of the work in the relationship. Also I liked Zan because he was true to who he was. People judged him by his tattoos and long hair. They didn't care to find out that he was basically an intelligent guy who had grown up from the "tattoo period" of his life and now is a hard working man with a business of his own. When Abby asks him if he ever considered having his tattoos removed, he gives her the line that made the book for me. He says that people shouldn't apologize for who they are. Zan is and has always been a good guy. He has made a worthy life for himself. I rooted for him because he showed Abby how hypocritical people really were. He looked like a villain but was actually the kind and honorable guy. The villain who matched Abby's list for potential husbands was the slime. I liked the building intimacy and the repartee between the h/h. Very funny and sexy.
I highly recommend this book to people who see beyond prejudice!

Usually I love Shannon McKenna but this book left something to be desired. I didn't feel the "love" between the H/H and some of the writing was just terrible. Editing was very poor also. I'm wondering if this was Shannons very first book. I've read most of her books and just love all of them. I'll go on to her subsequent one coming out shortly.

I loved Abby, the heroine. She was trying to get over past mistakes and have a "normal" life. She was a loyal friend who was the only one who believed her friend didn't commit suicide but was murdered. She wouldn't let that stand and pursued trying to find the killer. She was a beautiful woman who didn't see herself that way. She loved her job working for a museum as the fundraiser despite the fact that her boss was the boss from hell. Her friends keep setting her up with awful blind dates and on one of those dates she finds herself locked out of her apartment. This is when the hero shows up. He runs a locksmith business on the side.
The hero starts out as a guy we'd like to know but Abby, despite her attraction, has decided Zan has all the bad boy characteristics of prior bad boyfriends each of whom ruined her life. Two days later she's on a blind date, the date being a total jerk. He's locked himself out of his car and Abby calls Zan. He takes her home and before you know it its bedroom time.
Zan turns out to be a guy who doesn't care about Abby's concerns or what Abby wants. He doesn't care about how important her job is to her and ends up getting her fired due to his jealous, uncontrolled behavior. He follows her around spying and jumps in everytime he sees her doing something he doesn't want her to do. On one of his spying trips he gets infuriated when he spots her talking to another guy. His character being what it is he jumps to the wrong conclusion and there is the very first of many nasty scenes between the two of them were his jealousy or his I want what I want mentality lets us see how unlikeable he is. Each time he storms away leaving Abby crushed by his abusive treatment. After each of these incidents, when he's calmed down, he tells her he's sorry and admits he behaved badly but before you know it, the scene repeats. Every time she admonishes him and says she doesn't want this type of turmoil and cruel behavior in her life she's having to take those words back when they fall back into bed.
Each time the scene is written from Zan's point of view, it typically shows him going over ways to manipulate her to get what he wants and totally misinterpreting a situation whenever he spys her with another man, whether work related or not. He knows he's wrong following her, but he does it anyway. When he attacks a prominent donor to the museum at a fund raising ball, just because Abby was having to do her job and entertain the guy, he gets her fired. He later tells her she can get a job somewhere else. She didn't want somewhere else, she loved the job she was in.
I don't get what Abby saw in Zan or why she kept taking him back. The only positive thing about him was the fabulous sex. There's nothing that tells us why Zan fell so uncontrollably in love when he barely knew her. His love was toxic and abusive. He is the type of person women take out restraining orders against. I was pretty angry with his character by the time I finished this book.

Don't get me wrong I really liked this book, but I've loved all the other McKenna books.
