OVERNIGHT SENSATION

As a B-list movie actress Ivy James had fallen in love with three of her past leading men and had carried on front page tabloid romances with them. Now she has just been offered her big break. The role of a life time, with an award winning director, and the sexiest man in the world as a leading man. She is determined to concentrate on making the most of this glorious career opportunity. Then she meets her costar and finds she doesn't like him and cannot do the sex scenes with him. So she turns to Garrett Stokes.

Garrett Stokes is the war hero the movie is based on. He has been secretly in love with Ivy, even though she didn't know he existed, for years. He is responsible for her big break. He is also on location as a consultant.

Garrett has no problem consulting with Ivy. They rehearse the scenes thoroughly.

This is a wonderful story. The author pays attention to the small stuff that glues the story together. The things that make a story memorable. It goes down as easily as a creamsicle on a hot summer day.

This story rates:

Yours forever between the covers of a book,

Lady Mischief

About Lady Mischief & Why She Reviews

This is a blog dedicated to the reader. The woman, or man, who spends money on a book and would like to know they are getting something worth the investment.

I am a Lady and a Mother.

I work, I shop, I budget, I read.

What I spend money on is very important to me. Every penny counts, so before I buy something I measure the value in three ways.
1. The cost of a loaf of bread.
2. The cost of a gallon of milk.
3. The cost of a pack of diapers.

If a book costs me 2 gallons of milk or a pack of diapers then it had better be worth it.

Romance readers range from stay-at-home Moms to Diplomats. From Waitresses to Molecular Scientists.

Some readers may earn less than $10,000 per year while others make more than $100,000.

The woman who works in the diner and spent half the day cleaning and restocking without a customer in sight (which means no tips) may be working 3-4 hours just to buy one paperback book.

Buying a book, even a paperbook, can be the equivalent of 2-3 hours pay for some people, when you factor in deductions.

The book they buy had better be a good one.

That is why I decided to include books which rate a 1 or a 2 ice treat in my reviews. If I had to spend my money on them and read them, then it is my duty to save the rest of the reading world from having to read the same dreck.

If I give a book 3 ice treats it means it is a good book and you should read it. I have no doubts about it.

Four (4) treats mean there is something special.

Five (5) treats is truly outstanding.

A two (2) is readable, barely, you might like it better than I did.

But a one (1), honey, I wouldn't touch that one with someone else's Kindle.

What it all means

Five (5)
