She's Got the Look

Mix well crafted chick lit with a mystery thrown in for good measure and you have She's Got The Look. This clever and funny novel features recently divorced Melody who returns to Savannah to start over again. A drunken joke years earlier catches up with her in a bizarre way when a list of the five men that she would most like to sleep with turns up and the men on the list start dying. Number 1 man on her fantasy list turns out to be the lead detective on the case. Throw in a stalker and dysfunctional relationships with her ex and her family and you have the makings of an enjoyable and believable read. Leslie Kelly does a great job of blending romance, tragedy, and humor and her characters are both likeable and believable.

This is the first of her books I've read. It won't be the last. I will be looking for the book written before this one, She Drives Me Crazy, as well as anything else out there by Ms Kelly. I enjoyed the people in the book, found the second love story in the book as enjoyable the lead story. I will be looking for more of her work. Thanks for the fun Ms Kelly.

"She's Got the Look" is a great read full of humor and suspense. Melody Tanner is newly divorced and back home. Years ago she and her friends made a "men to do" list back before she was married and Melody thinks it's time to dust the list off, the only problem is that the men on her list keep dying. In comes Nick, number one on Melody's list, but the last one she really wants to "do" because she knows he could break her already broken heart. But Nick isn't budging, especially when it looks like Melody has a stalker. Wonderful journey to love. Read this book!

Leslie Kelly creates the kind of characters I don't want to leave. For me, that's the ultimate read-when I want to spend a little more time with these guys, or crave to see more of them in another book. Hint...hint. Or I absolutely need a few more laughs. Ms. Kelly hits the mark. The heroine, Melody, took me along with her, tugging me right out of my hectic, yet boring, little world and into an adventure where she falls for a HOT homicide detective. The story was pure fun, engaging with just the right amount of mystery to keep me turning pages. I highly recommend SHE'S GOT THE LOOK

I have been waiting for this book ever since reading She Drives Me Crazy (one of my favorite romance novels ever!) It did not disappoint. Nick Walker was every bit the wonderful hero his brother Johnny was, maybe with a little more edge and a little less charm. But still totally sexy. The heroine and her friends sounded like women I know and left me wanting to read more about the four of them. I am not a big mystery fan so having just a bit of a who done it was perfect for me. This is not a suspense novel and it is definitely not a chick lit, despite the cover. It's pure sexy contemporary romance novel. If you like Rachel Gibson, Julie Orloton, Susan Donovan, etc., give this one a try!
