Dirty Little Lies

Dirty Little Lies

Clare James2014
Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named Free. (Yeah, she knows it's a stupid name, so don't start.) But most importantly, Stevie's lost herself. As she shuffles through her days in worn-out Hello Kitty PJs-eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next move-a magazine article catches her attention. Blaring black letters read: "How to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps." Stevie studies the article in the trashy magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do. With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex. Until she meets Gabe Shannon. Gorgeous, single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a lifestyle that is sure to help get her sexy back and then some. If she doesn't chicken out ... (Oh, you know where this is going.) What follows is a story of self-discovery, romantic gestures, erotic encounters, and following one's heart--even if it leads in unexpected directions.

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest Copy received via netgalley in exchange for an honest review ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Cont. Romance Series : - Stand Alone Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[Sort of (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 2 ★Review★ You know when you are reading something it is not working for you, so you check out other reviews hoping it is not just you, and it turns it is sort of just you! Yep, that was me reading this book! It felt so very rushed! Also it started like this.... "Excessive, though impressive, female skin adorn the space..." now, I know what the author was going for, but in my mind I was picturing something else entirely! (horror show anyone!) As I say, it was so rushed that it was hard to connect to either character so getting to the sex scenes just made me feel cold. I found myself skimming a lot. And the club, which btw, is supposed to be about "being open and having a safe place" but we will secretly record you and make you freak out, as we just HAVE to give the people watching a show, despite knowing how it will make you feel. Meh! I just found the whole club thing a bit ridiculous. Now, I have read books before, and they have had kink clubs or BDSM clubs, but here it just did not come across right to me. All a bit fake. Editing and formatting wise it was a bit messed up, but I was sort of ignoring it thinking I just got it through netgalley so it may improve, only actually, this book was released ages ago. So it should not have had the issues in it. Such as a sentence just stopping in the middle of a line and then starting on a new line despite being in the middle of sentence a bit like this. At time, a change of scene or time was made evident by 3 little stars, at others it just ran straight on on the same line. And it was not always obvious when a different character had started speaking. The odd wrong word used, or missed out word, punctuation etc I mean, all in it was OK, but it was not for me, and I was left a bit...
