The Review

The Title/Cover Draw:

What’s not to love? Plus size girl with cat and ginger man? Another winner.

What I liked:

Contemporary romance with loveable characters. Deep complex issues explored!

What I didn’t like:

Wasn’t enough about Red (the main guy) and his phobias and issues.

What kept me reading:

I connected with Chloe so much. She struggles with fibromyalgia, as I do. It’s heartbreaking when people don’t understand that you are in pain all the time.

The Characters:

Chloe and Red are so real and deep. I also loved the sisters, Dani and Eve. So glad books are being written from their points of view also!

The Ending:

They all lived happily… with more to come!

Reminds me of:

Confessions of a Shopaholic . There is an inner monologue but more confident.

Small Summary:

Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?

• Enjoy a drunken night out.

• Ride a motorcycle.

• Go camping.

• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.

• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.

• And… do something bad.

But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.

But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
