What people are saying about HOT  

“Hot captures the struggles, temptations, trials, and victories of a generation battling for purity. A great read for teens and parents!
– Jason Burtt, national director, Silver Ring Thing

“Readers will identify with Lindsey, a young woman trying to navigate first love, social pressure, and church teaching to determine her own convictions about chastity and sex. Smith writes with unlimited grace for her characters, delivering a timely story on a very hot topic.”  – Bethany Pierce, author of Feeling for Bones

“Smith’s book inspires me to live a pure and fruitful life, the way God has planned. Hot made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me feel blessed to have God’s grace glisten between relationships seen and unseen.” – Danielle Darah, student, Miami University

“Laura L. Smith has thoughtfully crafted the true temptations of teens into a tender story of forgiveness and mercy. Her accurate interpretation of the constant struggle to balance living God’s Word while living in this world makes her characters believable and relatable. This much needed book handles its tough topic both delicately and profoundly.” – T.L. Bundy, high school English teacher and author

“In Hot, Laura Smith coolly addresses the issue of that three-letter word in a way that’s current, applicable, and authentic. Every teenage girl must read this book (or she’ll look back and wish she had).” – Amy Parker, author of God’s Promises for Boys and God’s Promises for Girls

“It was all of the feelings I have ever felt with trying to remain pure. Thank you, Laura, for tackling a difficult topic that all young girls deal with. This book shows us the importance of God’s plan for our purity and provides hope for our own personal lives.”
– Rebecca Hart, graduate student

“I read the whole book in one sitting! I’ve worked with so many teen girls who would be able to identify with Lindsey’s dreams and feelings. Lindsey is not perfect, but she learns from her choices. I’ve seen in ministry how important it is for young people to get their hearts clean with god and their friends.” – Monika Allen , missionary with Youth With a Mission

“I started reading Hot thinking it would be a book I could pick up in between my busy life. But once I began reading, I found that I couldn’t put the book down. It kept me turning page after page in anxious anticipation for how it would all turn out. This book brings hard, controversial issues to the surface and deals with them in a very real way. I loved Hot!” – Kelci House, editor UP magazine
