All brakes get hot, is yours hotter than normal, what do you call hot. Normally if you just drove your vehicle specially on a downhill, they will get so hot that you can not touch them. If there's smoking hot then you have a issue. Check the calipers to make sure they're releasing and not stuck.

Do you notice the issue on only one wheel or are all 4 equally hot to you? If it is just one, you now know where to start repairing the problem. Also, check the E brake. If the hot wheel is the one connected to it, it may not be releasing properly.
