Reviewer: Samantha

Jessica Ashley Dafoe is on tour now with CLP Blog Tours and The Tantalizing Tale of a Bitter Sweetheart

the tantalizing tale of bitter sweetheartSummary:

Successful, lucky in love, taking the world by storm?…..not quite. Portia Delaney is down on her luck, disgruntled in a dead end, mind- numbing career with little prospects and is not even close to finding a stimulating romance to take her mind off her lack-luster situation. Her defeatist attitude and unmistakable idiosyncrasies don’t help much either.

But with rock bottom comes a choice, lie down and enjoy the cold and barren ground beneath, or climb that ladder of success to the top. Portia finally sets out to do just that. With a fantastic group of friends and a bit of fateful circumstance on her side, she begins her trek up and out of the despair filled trenches. But Portia soon finds out that with success, often comes hardships and unwelcome competition.

Review:

This book was a fun and fast chick lit read, filled with all sorts of chick lit goodies. A fun heroine, Paris, fashion, crazy friends, a hot romance, and betrayal. Whew! I thought the dialogue between several characters was witty and kept me cracking up, and I really loved the scandal that played out more towards the end. The writing was strong from beginning to end, and this was a solid debut from Jessica Ashley Dafoe that I recommend to chick lit fans!
