Alex realizes he needs Sarah back in his life so he decides to hire her firm Great Graphics! to design a new logo for his company. As they work close together, the love they shared years ago resurfaces. Now if Sarah trusts Alex that he had no choice except to leave Hollywood, but looked for his beloved as soon as he could, they can make it.TOO HOT TO HANDLE is an amusing contemporary romance that feels as if a split screen is in use as the audience observes the reactions of two staffs towards their CEOs. The story line never takes itself seriously though the heat between the lead couple is palpable. Readers will enjoy Barbara Daly's whimsical cross continental romance that focuses in the office as much as the bedroom.Harriet Klausner
