Hot Conduit (Hot Under the Collar #2)


My 2024 Reading Challenge for the month of February will be Beat The Backlog work (digital and print books). This includes (a small loophole) the second novel in a series (Hot Under the Collar) that I started last August (fight me). This is Katherine McIntyre's "Hot Conduit."

["Lex can’t stand Theo. Theo thinks Lex is a dick. Except one dating app mishap is about to bring them so much closer together.

Theo
I’ve dated every shade of shitty guy imaginable, yet I keep boyfriending them. Mostly because my empty house doesn’t align with the happily-ever-after fantasies I’ve had since I was a kid.
No more.
After my last boyfriend cheated on me, I’m flings only, even if temptation dangles my way. And when Lex shows up to fix my wiring issue, he’s pure temptation—at least until he decides to randomly hate my guts. Luckily, the sexy guy I’m talking to on the CoffeeDates app is the perfect chance for a one-night stand—no drama, no betrayal, and most importantly, no boyfriending.

Lex
I avoid rich assholes at all costs. One broken engagement later, I learned they’ll never stick around for blue collar guys like me. Even though Theo flips my switches, the holier-than-thou upper-class attitude is enough that I’m keeping my distance.
Until I find out the guy I’ve been falling hard for over the dating app is none other than Theo.
All that chemistry between us explodes, and one night turns into another and then another.
But he’s not looking for a boyfriend, and I am—and there’s only so long this can last before one of us ends up brokenhearted."]

High heat? Do you even have to ask. Low angst? Almost any day. Goat yoga? Cute as hell (even if its not as cute irl as it is in the movies). Edging? Hot. Far too much snark than necessary? I'll be the judge of "too much snark," thank you very much.

This story is amazing. Equally as sweet as it was deep. Their..situationship was far from easy or simple, but it was them, it was fulfilling, it was mutually supportive, it was everything.
