I am becoming a HUGe Kelly Jamieson fan! I can not get enough of her books!

When I picked up Hot Shot, I didn;t even realize it was book 2 of the Last Shot series. I LOVED book one, so I was super happy to read book 2. This book did not disappoint!

Marco Solis and Carrie Garner were just getting started in book one, and now this is their story, and what a story it was. Marco has had enough bad things happen to him to last 2 lifetimes. But here he is, ex Navy seal, making a go at owning a bar with his 2 best friends (also ex Seals). Carrie is a hot model coming to the end of her career and finding herself all over again. Becoming a photographer is her dream. Now she is leaving for Madrid in a few short weeks to attend school there.

The problem is, Marco and Carrie have been fighting their attraction for too long. Now they have come up with a solution. They will have an affair until Carrie leaves, no strings, just fun. But what happens when the 2 of them realize they have more in common they they originally thought? It seemed like a good plan, until they start falling for each other...

I loved this book and can not wait for book 3 in this series!

What a fantastic book! The back and forth between Carrie and Marco was so full of sexual tension and self doubt it as so good so read how they worked through everything and still ended with up together. The ending is so sweet and just perfect for them. Best part of the book when Marco was standing behind the bar and his ex walked in and Carrie didn't seem to hesitate to lay claim to her man! It was a bold statement and it was just perfect!

Marco and Carrie are brought together by friends; their best friends are getting married. It’s not all hearts and flowers with Marco and Carrie though, as they start out not liking each other, but as they get to know one another, they each start to realize they have each other pegged wrong. Both fighting their own insecurities, Marco and Carrie also fight the undeniable connection between them. But how long can they go without admitting to their attraction?

I was really drawn to Marco. I thought the writing of his character was done with a lot of feeling and really made you feel for him, understand him, and you wanted more for him. It took me longer to warm up to Carrie. She came across so rude and hurtful. I was glad we got to see why, but I felt she kept blaming Marco for what was going on between them when she was the one who was constantly making comments and pushing him away.

I enjoyed getting to know Marcos and Carrie and learning about why they have the self-doubt that they each have. I love how they both help each other see the good in each other and what they each have to offer. It’s beautiful to watch them both open up and learn to trust.

With the sincerity also comes fun wit, I found myself laughing out loud at times. The supporting characters are all enjoyable and I can’t wait to get Cade’s story.

Hot Shot by Kelly Jamieson is a great addition to her Last Shot series. Marcos and Carrie have been spending more time together since their best friends are engaged to each other. Marco and Carrie both have insecurities. Carrie, that she is not good enough for her family and Marcos, that he is not worthy of love or a family since everyone leaves him. The more time Marcos and Carrie spend together the more chemistry they discover. Hot Shot was an excellent read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I cannot wait until Cade's story!

"If your first kiss could be described as candy, what would it be: Starburst, Milky Way, Snickers, Zero, or Goobers?" Carrie and Marco are planning an engagement party for their friends and this is the first time that Carrie has looked at former Navy Seal Marco without feeling that he was making fun of her. Carrie doesn't much appreciate Marco's attitude and she is darn sure that he doesn't like her a bit, calling her "Supermodel" in his disparaging tone. Or so she believes. Unfortunately for them, Marco's best friend and business partner, is engaged to Carrie's best friend since middle school so they will likely be seeing lots of each other. When Marco tells Carrie that she has a very fine derriere, she thinks he is making fun of her, or that he just sees her body but doesn't really see 'her'. Oh hell no, he is entirely serious. He sees her and he wants to make her "see not just stars, but galaxies, and beg him for more". The thought of being with her is inflammatory sending a fireball through his gut and this was before they even got together.
Carrie is planning a career change and there is no time for a relationship. She is fed up with being treated as simply a body or a face. Carrie hasn't forgotten her middle school days when she was the too tall, funny looking skinny girl with braces. That is who she still sees when she thinks about herself sometimes. Carrie is also the odd woman out in her family of Type A, serious-minded high achievers. She wants very much to do something important. To be important. The funny thing about Marco is that somehow she does feel a connection him. Carrie is empathetic and sees sadness under Marco's joking and flirting. The attraction is absolutely mutual once they are a little more honest but it can only be a fling. Marco doesn't 'do' relatioships but a sexy fling with Carrie, this super hot model, is just the tonic he needs. That is all it can be because Carrie is going to photography school in Spain so that she can make her family proud. Their mutual desire leads to smoking hot encounters until Marco's business partners notice that he must be "occupying Vagistan". OK that cracked me up. I'll admit it. This author drives me crazy...crazy good. She creates wonderful characters for the reader to love. There is no choice but to read on because one thing is certain. This author will absolutely deliver an HEA ending. It's a sure thing.

Marco and Carrie were so perfect for each other, even when they weren't acting like it. I enjoyed their story and how they helped each other become better versions of themselves.

Loved this book! Marco is a former SEAL who co-owns a tequila bar along with two of his SEAL buddies. Carrie is a premier model who only feels attractive when people do her hair and make up - otherwise she feels unworthy. Marco also feels unworthy, but for very different reasons. They are thrown together frequently since their friends are engaged and she is maid of honor to his best man.

There is a wild attraction between them that you can practically feel sizzling off the pages. They agree to enjoy a "romp" without a relationship....however, what happens when they each develop real feelings for the other?

What follows is a sexy romance that fans of the genre will love. The author is on my must read authors' list and should probably be on yours as well. Move this one to the top of your TBR.

This book totaly rocked!!! I LOVE Carrie and Marco and them together was absolutely terrific. I loved that they really built a friendship before they got together. This book was really HOT!! but not until about 50% as they really get to know each other and like each other first.

Things I really loved about this story:
I loved Carrie's family and I loved how she helps her niece Julia out. I also loved how welcoming they are with Marco. No family is perfect and I loved that the author really showed that.

I loved getting to see Hayden and Beck marry and I loved Marco playing around on the wedding.com website.

This story is about a tequila bar which three e-seals own. Beck and Marco and Cade.
Beck is engaged to Hayden whose best friend is Carrie
Cade is the manslut
Marco is a hot latino man, not a manslut but also one who doesn't believe in relationships. He believes everyone will leave him. He also grew up like an orphan.

Marco has a thing for Carrie and Carrie feels the same. But they each feel the other is too good for the other and so they act all hate like to each other. But with their friends engage they start planning a party and thats how they start breaking down the walls and become friends.

I absolutely LOVED this story. Only two things I didn't like.
1. The cover of the book is beautiful but I felt that it did not depict Marco well. He is described as having dark skin, latino and the guy in the picture totally looks caucasian with no hint of latino in him.

2. I wanted him to find his sister.

I actually think I liked this book better than book 1.
