Playing James by Sarah Mason
When pet funeral writer Holly Colshannon finally gets a promotion, she couldn’t be more excited. She is now a crime reporter, and working under the…
Killer Cocktail by Sheryl J. Anderson
Killer Heels, the first novel in the Molly Forrester series from Sheryl J. Anderson, introduced us to Molly and her girlfriends, Tricia Vincent and Cassady Lynch, faithful sidekicks to Molly-even when she is trying to solve murders. Killer Cocktail, the second installment, is no different, but now the stakes to solving the mystery are even higher- Tricia’s brother David has become the prime suspect when his actress fiancé is found dead at their engagement party.
Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
Can You Keep a Secret? from Sophie Kinsella, author of the Shopaholic trilogy, serves up another humorous novel that will make you laugh and want to cry all within a few pages. The stories of deceit, love, and scandal will hold your attention, rooting for the heroine who is incredibly believable and easy to sympathize with when her secrets are spilled to the public. I didn’t think the love story was quite as believable, mainly because Jack’s character was a little too in shadows. That aside, the novel was still entertaining and irresistible to put down.
Slighty Engaged by Wendy Markham
Slightly Engaged from Wendy Markham is engaging and comedic, with a fast paced attitude. Tracey is completely believable, a well developed character struggling not to become obsessed with her wedding, keeping those forty pounds off, and trying to get a handle on her career. The plot is smooth flowing and be sure to pick this up for a relaxing and light hearted read.
Summer in the City by Robyn Sisman
Summer in the City by Robyn Sisman introduces us to Susan Wilding, the struggling Londoner who is ready to give up on men, and Lloyd Rockwell, the New Yorker living the good life with his perfect girlfriend. Both Suze and Lloyd are working for the advertising agency Scheinder Fox; Suze trying valiantly to work her way up by showcasing her creative graphic talents, and Lloyd enjoying being a well respected hot shot executive at the top of his game. The two are in for an adventure when the company offers them a ‘house-swap’ opportunity, letting them try to adjust to life on the other side of the pond.
Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella
Sophie Kinsella nails it again with Remember Me. Not only is there humor, a light hearted spirit, but the reader feels the frustration and urgency Lexi is struggling with throughout the chapters. We want her to regain her memory; we want to know just as bad as she does how she got to this unfamiliar place. The characters are relatable and the plot is witty and fast paced, a real page turner while new events and surprises are uncovered.
The Bachelorette Party by Karen McCullah Lutz
The Bachelorette Party was one of the first novels that helped reel me in to the chick lit genre. The cover resembled a journal with confetti festively covering it, and (judging the book by its cover) it was going to be a treat. Karen McCullah Lutz co-wrote movies such as Legally Blonde, 10 Things I Hate About You, and She’s the Man, which only amped my anticipation higher to dive right in.
Killer Heels by Sheryl J. Anderson
Are you a Sex in the City fan? Of course I am, and the moment I began reading Killer Heels by Sheryl J. Anderson I felt that I was transported right onto the set. Our heroine, Molly Forrester, is a replica of Carrie Bradshaw, a sassy Manhattan journalist with an ambition to move up from her so-so advice columnist position (“You Can Tell Me”), two girlfriends with night and day personalities, and of course: a love of expensive designer shoes. The cover alone was enough to lure me to pick up this book, with nothing but legs and pink stilettos resting above the New York skyline.
Breakfast at Stephanie’s by Sue Margolis
The writing is fast paced, but sometimes too fast for my fancy. Frank’s character is too small, I was left with confusion about who exactly he was, why he was no longer with his fiancée, and just how he became so infatuated with Stephanie after only a handful of meetings. Be aware of the graphic sex scenes that had me cringing in multiple spots, but just like with Margolis’ other novels, the British humor is right on in this entertaining tale.
