In the concluding title in Phillips' Hot Zone trilogy, Sophie Jordan has learned to cope with life's stresses by compulsively immersing herself in the routine of her high-profile sports agency, and never more so than when dealing with Riley Nash, a hotshot quarterback notorious for his romantic escapades and rule-breaker attitude. When Riley's biological father, who is also Sophie's courtesy-title uncle, is outed for being gay, the repercussions will be devastating for both the Hot Zone agency and Riley's family, which includes his stepfather, a conservative senator about to run for the presidency, and his teen daughter. Can Sophie and Riley conduct some sleuthing and get the help they need to limit possible repercussions? Phillips has penned a charming, fast-paced contemporary romp-through-the-sheets starring two likable, if conflicted, characters and dealing sensitively with the political and social fallout of homosexuality, emotional rejection, and peer pressure in an enjoyable, upscale New York setting.
