Hot Property News – 1 Day and Counting!
Carly Icon

Technically HOT PROPERTY is in stores June 24th – TOMORROW – however I have been receiving emails of in store Walmart sightings, and online Amazon.com and BN.com are already shipping the book! I’ve told you all how excited I am for this release because it’s the last in a series of books I truly loved writing, mostly because I do love the world of sports. It brings my family together (and drives us apart like crazy!) But it’s all good.

HOT PROPERTY is my “Mike Piazza/Alex Rodriquez” book. If this means something to you because you’re a baseball fan, COOL! If not, how about this for a review: “Take me out to the ballgame and buy me a centerfielder! Carly Phillips definitely knows how to end a series on a high! From the first book in The Hot Zone series to the last, the characters are believable, sexy and charming. Carly Phillips always bats a thousand when writing her sultry, sexy love scenes. Carly Phillips always delights her faithful fans and delivers a homerun each time.” Dawn Meyers, Writers Unlimited

I could give you an actual teaser, but you can already read an excerpt at my website and besides, the book is in stores by tomorrow, people. Go forth and find it PLEASE!

Carly

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    No I haven’t spotted it yet. If I had, I would have gotten, even if I am vacation. Actually, I will go out tomorrow and find it. They have to have a bookstore (actually I do know where the Border’s is) here in Jersey. I can’t wait to read it although I am sad to know that this is the end of the series. I hate it when a series I truly enjoy ends. :hissyfit:

    On the other hand, I did my traditional read of the newest Stephanie Plum on the way here and waved when we passed Treton.

    I spotted it at my local Barnes & Noble when I went in to find some new book by Karin Tabke and Susan Mallery. They had a whole bunch of them on display, but I could see that they were going like hotcakes as I past it a second time when I was leaving to pay for my books.

    Hi Carly,

    HOT PROPERTY is definitely in every Walmart around here (R.I.)

    I am not able to sit and read a book cover to cover right now or

    I’d have gobbled this one right up. I am however really enjoying

    HOT PROPERTY very much. I love the characters and the way you are

    slowly, smoothly and seamlessly developing the relationship (sizzle)

    between Amy and John. The family side stories are interesting as well.

    You have a terrific way of endearing these families in the minds of your

    readers.

    Okay I finish Hot Property today or else. LOL.

    I sure wish Zoey could hold the book for me but it probably weights

    almost as much as she does. LOL.

    I positive it will hit the best seller list right away have no fear.

    :snoopy: :snoopy: :snoopy: :snoopy:

    Hey guys,

    Carly, I haven’t spotted HP yet, but Amazon sent me a notice that they were shipping it out early last week, so it should be in my little hands some time this week I guess…

    I hope that everyone is doing well…

    Peace and love,
    Paula R.

    I haven’t spotted Hot Property yet either, Carly – but I’ll let you know if/when it happens. :P Of course, I’ve been a home body all weekend -and good thing too. We were hit with a deluge of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. LOL And good point as to your comment. Haha.

    Since I need to make a trip to Wal-Mart I’ll be looking for it! What I’m wondering is if it will be for sale next month at the RWA book signing. As much as I would like to have it now I need to save buying some books for that event! I’ll let you know if I see it.

    A spa contest, sounds great! I’ll have to check that out.

    I pre-ordered the book so I am waiting not so patiently for it to arrive. I think the mailman thinks I’m scary because I run to meet him as he drives up to my box. I try to act cool as if I just happen to be in the area but I suspect he knows better. :yikes:

    Don went to Walmart tonight for my RX and came home with
    Leslie’s ::::Heated Rush::::
    I now have all the plotmonkey’s newest releases.
    I am having such a happy day here. Thank-you!
    Hopefully that little gray cloud that has been following me around for a few months seems to have moved on. Shhh, listen, yup can’t hear a single rain drop. I am absolutely loving Hot Property. Will read Leslie’s “Heated Rush” next and then I am going to saturate myself with a wonderful lady’s
    works. Janelle I am going to Maine with a box of your books so it is going to be a wonderful vacation. Have a wonderful week everyone. :thankyou:

    Hey Carly!
    Bought it, read it, love it!

    I thought Amy was so great, and I loved how well she fit in at Hot Zone. Also, it was nice to see Micki’s and Roper’s best friend status acknowledged, and explored a bit further. Amy and John were so emotionally well matched for one another; what a great pairing!

    Although I have to say, what ever happened to the girl from Sophie’s wedding? lol

    Great read, Carly!

    - Sam P.
