About this listen

'The laugh-out-loud, sun-drenched rivals to lovers romance from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Lynn Painter and Emily Henry!

'I absolutely adored Too Hot To Handle! I thought it was so funny and so fun - I raced through it in one big, lovely read-y gulp. It deserves to be taken on so many holidays this summer.' - Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes

Tropes & Themes: Wedding / Sun-drenched romance / Forced proximity / Sweet and spicy / Rivals

One bachelorette party. One stag do. One double-booked villa and only one way to decide who gets it: a competition.

Workaholic Molly is buzzing when her best friend tells her she’s getting married. As maid of honour Molly can’t wait for the perfect bachelorette party in Spain. What could be better than a week in a stunning villa? Sun, sea, cocktails and gossiping – and best of all, no boys allowed. But when the hens arrive they discover that they are not alone. The villa has been accidentally double booked by a group of stags who make it very clear they’re not leaving!

It’s a disaster, and no one wants to give up their place in paradise. Attempts at compromising fail instantly, so their only option is to have a winner takes all competition. Battle lines are drawn and it is girls v boys - but will the competition be too hot to handle?

As their rivalry heats up, and Molly finds herself gravitating towards stag Travis, it’s clear that he’s enjoying the attention - but Molly can’t let herself get distracted, and under no circumstances can she fall for the enemy.

Hilarious - my favourite so far!

Portia Macintosh is my go-to for a light, fun, hilarious and romantic listen and I think this is by far my favourite out of all of her books, and I’ve read quite a few of them now. Such a fun story and I loved each of the characters. Karen Cass nailed the performance too, giving each character their own distinct voice - no mean feat given how many of them there were. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredibly boring, couldn’t finish

Tedious, lacking any point, I rarely don’t finish a book, but I just couldn’t with this one
