The Hot Box: A Novel

Written by Zane

Narrated by Simi Howe and Krystal King

Zane spoils her fans in this scintillating New York Times bestseller about about two women, four men, two love triangles and the drama that unfolds.

"Hot Box" is a baseball drill that can be played with three or more players and two to four bases. The players take turns being fielders and runners, ultimately trying to tag the rest of the players out. In The Hot Box, best friends Milena and Lydia are playing the game with Jacour, Yosef, Glenn, and Phil. The only problem: the men do not realize that they are merely players in their game.​

Milena lives a sheltered and dismal existence, and she hasn’t allowed a man to touch her body in eight years—until now. Lydia dreams of getting away from small-town America, but until she can make that happen, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to continue to have her bills paid on time. Good sex always does the trick.

Two women. Four men. Two love triangles. Reading has never been this hot because, once again, Zane is taking you outside the box.

Reviews for The Hot Box

[jayde1599_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is Zane's compilation of emails and letters she has received asking for advice on love, sex, and relationships. She divides the book into chapters dealing with different topics: "Young Love," "Cheating," "Sex," etc. Some of the questions were kind of crazy, some interesting, and some just seemed like common sense was missing. Zane brings in a sense of humor and genuine concern in her responses. Overall, an okay book. 3 STARS

Outstanding. Desks with real life emotions. Gives me a totally different perspective on dating and a new sense of self. It’s okay to be me as I am.

Loved the book, listened to the audio which was very well done. The only thing that kept it from being a 5 Star for me was Lydia. Though she was as real as they come, her reaction to finding out about Glenn and Phil was a little off to me. She was playing them both and when she found out she was being played, she took the childish route about it. Other than that, I loved the stories!
