This review is from: The Naked Truth (Paperback)

The Naked Truth has four funny, steamy and offbeat stories.

The Winning Truth by Erin McCarthy has Tansey Reynolds and J T Kowalski competing for a car or cash by living in the vehicle with two other contestants. Neither was looking for romance but being confined in the back seat leads to a connection. Tansey and J T are hilarious and their chemistry will go well behind this radio stunt.

Alesia Holliday writes The Naked Truth About Guys. C.J. Murphy writes a humor column for the local paper and has agreed to a make over by her friend. She finally turns the head of her office crush Hugh Leonard. But can Hugh convince her that he liked her all along?

Truth or Dare by Donna Kauffman has soap writer Bailey Madison getting a plum job of writing a noted billionaires life story at his home. Imagine her shock when an old flame Noah Morrissey a documentary filmmaker is also doing a story and living at the same estate. Will these two old lovers be able to work together or will they rekindle the old spark?

Beverly Brandt's Nothing But The Truth has Madison Case working as the go to gal for Rules Of Engagement. She it trying to get the Marry Me Marathon to come off without a hitch. But problems keep coming up. To top it off her ex husbands divorce lawyer finally makes his play for her.

This anthology is fun, sexy and a treat to read. Each story is a gem.

This review is from: The Naked Truth (Paperback)

"The Winning Truth" by Erin McCarthy. Tansey enters a contest to win a car or $25K; the rule is the last person to remain inside the vehicle wins. Her opponents are hunky J.T., Brenda and Jay. The attraction in the back seat between Tansey and J.T. is so thick Brenda and Jay consider boffing; still courting in a car in front of an audience seems wrong yet feels right.

"The Naked Truth about Guys" by Alesia Holliday. Seattle Times columnist C.J. wonders how to persuade investigative reporter Hugh that she wants him when he seems to see her as one of the guys. She lays her heart out in her columns, but like all men he misunderstands that changing the oil may prove love to a guy, but women need the Grand Gesture.

"Truth or Dare" by Donna Kauffman. Soap opera writer Bailey is hired as a biographical ghostwriter by billionaire Franklin. Also employed by Franklin is filmmaker Noah, the last man Bailey wants to see since they broke up several months ago. As they do their respective jobs, the attraction reignites.

"Nothing but the Truth" by Bevarly Brandt. In Naples Florida Madison hosts the Rules of Engagement Show; the current theme is a marrying marathon. She does not trust marriage having divorced Jeff who married her sister. When she assumes that Jeff is dumping her sibling and sees what she believes is atrocious behavior by the male contestants she becomes irate even while divorce lawyer Scott tries to tell her nothing but the truth.

These four contemporary novellas focus on Men Are from Mars; Women Are from Venus as misunderstanding between the genders lead to fun lighthearted romantic frolics.

I don't know it was about the stories that didn't work for me, but it was a chore reading it. I think I gave up after a couple of stories, and then for the sake of having bought the book, I kept reading. I don't remember anything about the stories, and what made it so dry. Borrow it from the library. I really don't think it's worth buying.
