The Unidentified Redhead (The Redhead Series) [Kindle Edition]

Alice Clayton (Author)

Book Description

The author’s writing style is deliciously addictive. This is the kind of book that will take you out of a slump, any kind of slump – reading slump, the weather sucks slump, I ran out of chocolate slump, you name it.
–The Book Vixen

I love reading books with humor laced through them, but even though the books are funny, I rarely catch myself laughing out loud. I may giggle. I may chuckle. But I rarely find myself suddenly laughing big belly laughs where my family members will look over to me to see if I was okay. That happened many times while I was reading this book. --YummyMenandKickAssChicks

If you don't normally read Contemporaries, The Unidentified Redhead might change your mind. I'll leave you with this: This is the first book that's ever made me jealous of a fictional character's rack. *sigh* I covet Grace's boobies. --Caught in a Fab Romance:

The Unidentified Redhead is a funny, madcap, very smexy romantic contemporary that had me reading all night. Filled with plenty of humor, sarcasm, and well developed characters-I didn’t stop laughing till the end. --SmexyBooks

This book was (hand to god) laugh out loud funny...right from the start the chemistry and dialogue between Grace and Jack really made me believe he would be attracted to someone like her, who was outgoing, carefree, and didn’t take him too seriously. --SmokinHotBooks

I laughed, I yearned, I got a bit teary eyed, and most importantly, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to keep reading this book. The writing style of Clayton is fluid, as if you were truly living the scenes. --A Tale Of Many Reviews

The sensuality level in these books is through the roof. Grace and Jack are like vines on a tree with one another. –KTGrant (erotic author, ktgbabbles blog)

Together, Jack and Grace are one of my new all-time favourite couples. Clayton writes such heated, smouldering and deliciously lengthy sex scenes...I’m talking blush-while-you-read, can’t get enough of the good stuff kind of smutty. Seriously. –Alpha Reader

I LOVED these books! Not only was Grace and Jack’s chemistry off the roof, but their romance was an utterly captivating and engaging one that I couldn’t help but gobble it up as fast as I could. Jack and Grace are HOT and mean really, really HOT together! That’s all I’ve got to say about that . --Larissa’s Bookish Life

When Grace Sheridan returns to Los Angeles to become a working actor, it's a second shot at a life-long dream. With some help from her best friend and agent, that dream could become a reality, but at thirty-three, has Grace missed her chance at the big time? Will an unexpected sizzling romance with the entertainment industry's newest 'it' boy shine an uncomfortable spotlight on her life?

Alice Clayton spins a playful and erotic May to December romance in this, her debut novel. Clayton's funny, borderline neurotic heroine is perfect in her imperfections, and the off the charts sexual chemistry between her and her charming, yet blissfully unaware leading man are the true heart of The Unidentified Redhead. With laugh out loud dialogue and a super steamy romance that will get your heart racing, sneaking around in L.A. and dodging the Paparazzi has never been so fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars review taken from One Book At A Time [...] January 11, 2011

By P. Eberhardt

Format:Paperback

Ummm...WOW. I'm not sure were to begin with this book. First off, one should note the word erotic in the description. While, I wouldn't consider the sex in this book over the top or even really descriptive, it's definitely there. And there's a lot of it. But, it's hot. Wow, I can't believe I just said that.

I LOVED Grace. For a thirty-three old who claims to still be trying to be comfortable with her new self, she radiates confidence. What I wouldn't give to have been able to pull off some of the comments that come out of her mouth. I love the sexual and flirtatious stuff she says. It just works for who she is. She sounds like someone you would love to be friends with. Plus, I love how hard she's trying to make it in Hollywood. Her best friends Holly is a riot. I think I'll move in with them. Oh wait, I'm married and I have two kids. I don't think that will work.

I also loved Jack. Who wouldn't love the new Hollywood golden boy, who's still trying to get use to be the next big thing. I love that he's younger than Grace, but never makes her feel like it. I love how well he seems to compliment Grace. I love that he's from England and has a sexy accent. I think might be just in love...pretty sure that doesn't work with my husband either.

I was going to give this 5 stars, but towards the end I thought the sex overtook the story a little bit. It was great, but I also like the story of Grace and Jack minus the sex. But, overall, this was just a fun and sexy story. I loved the characters and the sex only made me blush a few times. I can't wait to read the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 Shades without the crazy! July 11, 2012

By MWDS

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Great read! Very sexual! I am a fan of the 50 Shades series and thought this book was similar in interests but without the extreme "crazy" that is Mr. Gray. I enjoyed the fact that Jack was oh so sweet, and I'm dying to hear his voice in a movie perhaps???. We shall see! :) It was well worth my time, and I'm looking forward to the next book!

2.0 out of 5 stars It just didn't do it for me. May 29, 2012

By MoonlightReader

Format:Paperback

Usually when I see a book on Goodreads that has more than 4 stars I go for it and know it's probably going to be good. Sadly, that wasn't the case with this book.

This story features Grace Sheridan, an aspiring actress who lives with her best friend Holly. Holly happens to have her own managing company and is an agent for Jack Hamilton. Jack is about to be a huge hit; he's in a highly anticipated movie (think Twilight, Hunger Games, etc.) and already gets gawked at by the ladies wherever he goes. Holly has a party in which Jack takes notice of Grace (who is 9 years his senior ;)) and their romance begins.

I usually read a book in a few days; this one took me about a week. I just thought it was boring and couldn't wait for it to be over. Another thing that bothered me was the humor. Grace is thirty three but she has the humor of a teenage boy. It just didn't do it for me.

Also, things were a little too easy for Jack and Grace. Yeah, Holly didn't want them to show too much affection in view of the paparazzi with Jack's career taking off and all, but that wasn't even a huge issue. You know when you're reading a romance and the two main characters have a fight and you're just like, nooooo can't you see he didn't mean it? You know what I mean? You don't want the characters to go through that, but that fight is what makes the story better. What kind of story is there without conflict? Unfortunately, a boring one.

While this wasn't a book for me, for all those who think they may be interested, the second book in the series already looks to be better just from what happens at the end. Sorry to leave you hanging, but I don't want to give anything away for potential readers.

My rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Happy reading everyone!

More About the Author

Novelist Alice Clayton makes her home in St. Louis where she enjoys gardening but not weeding, baking but not cleaning up after, and is trying desperately to get her long-time boyfriend to make her an honest woman--and please buy her a Bernese Mountain dog.

After working for years in the cosmetics industry as a makeup artist, esthetician, and educator, Alice picked up a pen (read laptop) for the first time at 33 to begin a new career: author. Having never written anything longer than a grocery list, she soon found writing to be the creative outlet she'd been missing since walking away from the theater 10 years before.

She has a great time combining her love of storytelling with a sense of silly, and she was shocked and awed to be nominated for a Goodreads Author award in 2010 for her debut novels, the first two installments of The Redhead Series--The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed. Her latest novel Wallbanger is a return to her trademark comedic erotica, or funny smut, that Alice has become known for.

Additionally, Alice loves spending time with her besties on Not Your Mother's Podcast (check them out on iTunes) and has recently partnered with actor Greg Grunberg, blogger Brittany Gibbons, and actress Keili Lefkovitz on a new travel show that will begin filming in January.

Alice enjoys pickles, Bloody Marys, eight hours of sleep and a good pounding.
