Top Ten Books with the Word “Hot” in the Title

Posted July 6, 2026 by Jana in Top Ten Tuesday / 21 Comments

Welcome to another TTT! Since it’s officially summer now and I am officially melting in the heat and being poisoned by all the wildfire smoke in the air (Utah currently has the largest wildfire in the USA, plus a bunch of others. Any prayers, thoughts, good vibes, etc. for the firefighters, first responders, and those suffering as a result of these fires would be much appreciated) I thought it only fitting to choose the word “hot” for this week’s topic. If I’ve read the book, I’ll include my star rating. All others are on my to-read list!

Hotshot Doc by R.S. Grey (5 stars)
White-Hot Hack by Tracey Garvis Graves
A Hot Scot for Christmas by Gina Conkle
Hot to Go by Kristen Bailey
Hot for Slayer by Ali Hazelwood (4 stars)
The Heiress and the Hothead by Sabrina Jeffries
Too Hot by Wendy Dalrymple
The Red Hot Earl by Darcy Burke
Hot Shot by Robin Bielman
Hot Pursuit by Kay Marie

What word did you pick for this week’s topic?

    Sorry to hear about the wildfires and hope all are safe.

    I haven’t read any of yours although I do like Kristen Bailey’s books.

  2. Ugh, so sorry to hear about the wildfires. Too hot sounds about right with the heatwave that has been sweeping the country. Have a good week, and will be praying the wildfires get under control.

  3. I’m so sorry to hear about all the terrible wild fires in your area, definitely sending all the good vibes for everyone affected. ❤️ Hot is an apt word, there have been heat waves where I live but luckily now it’s gone back down to normal summer temps. That being said I wouldn’t mind having a Hot Scot for Christmas 😂!

  4. My prayers go out to you and all affected by the wildfires 🙏 Hot is definitely a good choice of word for the current heatwave, even here in the UK we’re struggling! I simply chose the word ‘and’ because I wanted to use books I owned, so I could share some lovely covers. 😊

  5. I wasn’t able to do last week’s TTT, so I went with that prompt this week, instead of this one. I’m thinking I might pull together a second TTT post this week, though—if I have time. “Dragon” seems like a good word for a bookwyrm to choose!
