This was Mrs. Hot time going through her time with men and finding her sexuality and herself after 50. She goes into how she changed her life first by exercising and then dressing differently, she also changed her attitude which continued to evolve especially after a few encounters found that some of the men she was with only were after one thing and then left. She is open in this book about her life and her experiences. If you are up for the read this is not a bad book at all and the beginning is really good just about her and how she dealt with the change in her life.

I received a copy of this book provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

I've been meaning to write this review. Whoa! This book is hot! I was living vicariously through Mrs. Hot. She proves any age can be sexy. Very empowering for women, as we are told most of the time as we age, we are no good. Mrs. Hot puts all that to rest. I am not in her age bracket, but I would def. recommend this to my mother. Reminds me of a Stella Got her Groove Back. I'm giving three stars because at times I couldn't relate to some of the advice.

Overall, very enjoyable and fun!

Not sure what I expected out of this book, but I didn't expect what I got. Maybe if I was older (I'm 40+) and believed that beauty was only skin deep maybe this book would have did it for me, but it didn't. I probably won't read another book by this author.

I think the word "hot" in the title refers to the hot mess that is this book. I chose to read it thinking it would be a little fun, a little trashy, but it's kind of just trash. The author is completely out of touch with reality and totally absorbed with the superficial. Advocating for women to change everything about their appearance, spend all their money on cosmetic surgery and become some plastic fantastic creation in order to attract men is insulting to women and men. Many of the authors ideas are archaic and some potentially dangerous. Even the second half of the book that details her conquests left a lot to be desired. I am unable to review this book for the website I write for as we recommend books to our readers and I can not in good conscience recommend this book to anyone.

Interesting read. I commend Mrs. Hot for her journey and hope that sharing her experiences have not back fired on her.

Memoir? This book interested me because it is about a single woman my age. I now understand that “hot” means that she is pursuing a sexual relationship with a man. The first half of the book was about getting her body ready for her quest. The second half was about her conquests. The book contains many details and I enjoyed the description of Santorini in Greece. If you enjoy erotica, this is the book for you.

This book has a lot of humor, mostly of the ribald kind. It's a series of blog posts about a woman reclaiming her life in her older years. Although the writing is well done and the articles are funny, it didn't quite hit my funny bone. I am in that age group, and agree that time beats the hell out of the body, I'm a bit more accepting of the years. I don't plan to come under the surgical knife for anything more than necessary. But more power to people who make those choices. Your body, your choices.

I writing style was difficult for me to relate with; therefore, I didn't finish reading it. DNF Wish I could write more but I don't have any other feedback to give.

I did not like this book. It is supposed to be about a mature woman discovering her sexuality but felt very adolescent. I also did not like the implications that you cannot be sexually attractive unless you can afford designer clothes and furnishings and to enhance all aspects of your physical appearance through any means, including plastic surgery.

The Book of Hot is a fun compilation of stories for women who are coming of age and wanting to channel their inner goddess (clears throat)!! The book was outrageous and funny and overall a delightful read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC for my honest review.

Sorry, but this book just isn't for me. I don't believe in moon energy or some of the new age elements of this book. Even using groupon as she suggests would not make the procedures affordable for me. Furthermore botox and plastic surgery can be dangerous and you run the risk of the job being botched. While there were a few helpful hints, it just wasn't enough to overcome some of what I saw as flaws.

The Book of Hot is a book about realizing your worth. It's a shame that Mrs Hot didn't realize he's until she was older. Just think of what she could have done in her 50's.
I've never been a fan of Sex in the City so I didn't get her references to it.
I hope I have as much spirit and self worth when I'm 62.

This is the journey of a woman finding her selfworth. To me is seems to be a bit foolish but light-hearted. She has stey out of her comfort zone and into the life she wants.

I could t take to this book, perhaps it’s bevause I’m not a fan over ‘Sex in the City’ that I don’t appreciate the references to Samantha and how to act like her.

Mrs. Hot is funny, I like the way she writes about her life. I think I would read this book for the comic relief. Unfortunately, her philosophy on beauty and aging--I do not subscribe to. You can only be beautiful if you are thin, wrinkle free, and squeezed into a tight sexy dress wearing stilettos and mucho makeup... Men have to be attracted to you-everything you do to yourself has to be done to make a man want you. No, NO.Just NO. Looks are deceiving--unless all you want is sex. If so, then go for it. However, I find that superficial and shallowness a little too much. If you go plastic you get plastic. Loveless sex only lasts a few minutes. But a life full of real LOVE lasts forever. Again, if you want to read this for the laughs you will like it. Mrs. Hot is very smart and she makes me laugh.
Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the chance to read and give an honest review.

A steamy smoking hot romance book. Great characters that will make you fall in love with them and their stories. Relatable characters.

You are only as old as you feel!

I must admit, I’m on the fence with Mrs. Hot’s The Book of HOT. As a senior I’m all about not letting a number(age) keep you from living your life at your fullest, but how authentic is it if you feel you need as much cosmetic surgery to get there as the author says she’s had. Not really what the average woman would do, presuming she could even afford it. Part self help, part sexy times. I think each reader will have to decide for themselves if this book is for them.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.
