A Funny Read With Memorable Characters!,
By
This review is from: Confessions of a Lingerie Addict (Mass Market Paperback)
One of my favorite historical romance authors has taken a detour and for her latest effort has penned a rather quirky chick-lit/contemporary romance that was highly entertaining and fun to read.
Brenda is a woman that has not had the best track record with men, take her latest...Larry. "Mr. Perfect" has it all except for a personality that's not obnoxious oh...and we can't forget that he just dumped Brenda on New Years Eve. Well, she's not going to let that stop her. No way our Brenda is made of much sterner stuff and in a moment of insight decides to head into a very expensive lingerie store in order to console herself. This starts her off on a lingerie addiction that she is only too happy to accomodate. Now if she could just get over the man that she woke up with earlier in the day. Of course Yes, I did say man but you must read the book in order to find out just how mystery man fits in! Never fear Brenda along with a wonderful secondary cast tell a rather funny tale of finding love where you least expect to find it, with the last person you thought possible. This was a fun chick-lit read and although written in first person not obnoxious in anyway. This is one read that I highly recommend, and I hope that Ms. Ashley continues penning heartwarming contemporaries. Official Reviewer for Romance Designs

Read as a Joke;suprisingly enjoyable,
This review is from: Confessions of a Lingerie Addict (Mass Market Paperback)
Hokay, I'll admit that being a man, I set out to read this book for laughs because supposedly all romance novels are sappy and cheesy.(Dodges pots and pans thrown by female Amazon members.)
However, to my suprise, this was a pretty good yarn. I cheered for Brenda when she told Larry to piss off. Clarissa and David's quietly developing romance was nice to follow as well. The members of the old hippie band "Bohemian Love Child" were great supporting characters as well as Brenda's somewhat goofy boss Tony. Nick seemed like a fairly likable male lead. Only thing I have to complain about is what happened to poor Tim, the poor morning DJ who Tony talked into bungee jumping and getting in a tank with sharks to boost ratings. It'd be great if Jennifer Ashley did a sort of sequel where poor ol' Tim finds romance.

2.0 out of 5 stars
ridiculous - and frankly icky,
This review is from: Confessions of a Lingerie Addict (Mass Market Paperback)
The beginning of this book was pretty good - but that just made it's downward spiral all the more painful.
I got extremely tired of Brenda's never-ending self-doubt, her mothers 'defiant' public displays of affection with her son's (18 year younger) best friend (I'm sorry, that was just icky and not well done of them - and it's not that the woman is the one old enough to be the others parent. It would be just as inappropriate if it were their father with the daughters best friend) and her obnoxious boss Tony. I wanted to throw the book out somewhere around that horrible scene on the boat - how much dysfunctional, childish behavior do you really want to spend your time reading about? If half the size, this book may have been a cute read. As it is it's a long drawn out farce.
