What do you get when two seriously funny people start putting their hilarious banter to paper? Enter The Hot Guy, a new novel by film critic duo Mel Campbell and Anthony Morris.
Packed with movie-related humour, The Hot Guy is a warm, savvy, and genuine romcom, with characters you won't want to kick out of bed …
Adam, a serious cinema nerd, has no idea that he is the Hot Guy – a man so ridiculously attractive there's a Facebook group dedicated to seducing him.
Cate, a sports publicist who loves to crack a joke, is feeling down about her newly single status when her friends suggest the perfect pick-me-up: a night with the Hot Guy.
But that one night leaves both Cate and Adam wanting…
Is a genuine connection possible with a guy this phenomenally smokin'?
The Hot Guy is funny, smart and upfront about its genre. It's full of laugh-out-loud moments and pop-culture references that hit the mark. It's also not afraid to explore real emotions and relationship challenges, with complex characters that readers will fall in love with. And let's not forget; one of the lead characters is really, really Hot.
