When She Was Bad by Cindy Kirk
Jenny Carman is tired of playing by the rules. It didn’t get her the promotion she so deserved, and it certainly didn’t get her Mr. Right. Or even Mr. Right Now. It’s time for her to do something besides spend Saturday nights at the laundromat. So she’s letting down her long blonde hair, stepping out of her gray suits and into some sexy stilettos…
Leaning against a bar, dressed in a lacy, curve-hugging red camisole, Jenny’s ready for action–and gorgeous businessman Robert Marshall eagerly takes the bait. She tells him her name is Jasmine, a hairstylist, and gets ready for a mind-blowing evening. Robert, however, is smart, funny, sensitive–worth a lot more than a hot one-night stand. But one lie leads to another, plunging Jenny/Jasmine in way over her head. She can’t keep this double life up forever–but will she still drive the handsome hunk wild if he discovers a good girl hiding inside?
Very typical good girl gone wild plot. [note: no virgin librarians were harmed in the reading of this book] Jenny/Jasmine spends way too much of the book telling tales, so even though you want to like the h/h you can’t because you know it is all smoke and mirrors. And there is no real reason for it or at least not one that made sense.
The times you can lose yourself Jenny and Robert make for an steamy couple all they needed was a plot to play in. Cindy Kirk has created some enjoyable characters to spend a few hours with but needs to work on fleshing out her plot. Should be interesting to see what she gives us next.
Grade: Yummy but hungry again in 30 minutes
Lurve the grading system you have there. I usually say something is dessert and not an entree…but this is better.
Is there an explanation for these grades 🙂 Or they’re supposed to be self-explanatory? *back to my book* Hey Syb. Haven’t heard from you in a loooonnnnnngggggg time.
I like the rating too — so much gentler than a letter or a number! As an author, I like being compared to food — so long as it’s not stuff that’s gone bad. 🙂
So…
Mouthwateringly luscious = A
Scrumptious = B
Yummy, but hungry again in 30-mins = C
Barely palatable = D
Call the Health Inspector = F
?? 😉
yeah that works… LOL we were just gonna mix in some ‘quick’ reviews in with the others that take more thought LOL.
And I remembered I can’t do anything easy. That or I live to confuse the fuck out of people but really Gwen DOES have an email which I am sure she just hasn’t read.
So I named them… I think I have four and than well they needed grades and uh yeah. Sorry. Sort of like I have spent the last two hours putting up books back on my shelf by going ohhh look fire and rain and reading it.
Haven’t read email? Who ME?? 😉
Dang man. Caught again. Okay. I’m off to read my email.
(grumble grumble)
Don’t feel bad hon, I only sent it at like 7am 😛
