Tongue in Chic

I am a huge Christina Dodd fan. I loved this book!!! Because of this book, my day at work was not very productive. I could not put it down!! Like her last 3 series, her Fortune Hunter series is very good. If you are new to the author prepare to be hooked. I can't to wait to start her new Darkness Chosen series.

Tongue In Chic by Christina Dodd is modern romance mystery. Meadow breaks into her grandfather's home looking for painting that her grandmother left behind. She get caught by the new owner of the mansion - ex-football player and billionaire Devlin. Meadow tells Devlin that she has amensia and he tells her that she is his long lost wife. A very good book - I had wonderful Saturday with this novel. Also check out the first book in the series TROUBLE IN HIGH HEELS.

I LOVED this book!!!! I liked her previous contemporary books, but they didn't inspire me to write a review. This is really very good! Enjoy!!

So I compared book one in this barely connected duo to "literary tiramisu". Too (maybe) overwork the food metaphor this novel is like a silly, crunchy first course like coconut shrimp. Kinda makes you smile, completely enjoyable, definitely too light for the whole meal but too much fun to resist on special occasions. The most fun about the novel is the sense of play--right from the beginning the bored, overworked and dour male lead finds a pretty young woman fallen on his floor and rather than send her on her way to the police--maybe out of boredom or attraction--he plays along with her fantastical story. He is helped to discover his more lighthearted, romantic self and our female lead a more serious, maybe even mature side. Plus the secondary characters are a delight and I even learned more about oil paint vs. water paint and glass blowing as an art form. No way to go wrong here--just remember it's only a snack!

I enjoyed Tongue in Chic more than Dodd's last several contemporary books but you have to go into it ready to have fun. If you're looking for a dark suspense type book. This one isn't for you. If you like a tough, driven, slightly brooding hero with hidden depths of gold and a spunky, hard-to-resist heroine who brings light and fun to his (and everyone else's) life - then this book has what you want! It is well written and both main characters are engaging and enjoyable in their own way. The conclusion where all the different threads of the story come together at the end of the book is a little fast but I highly recommend this book! Fans of Lori Foster will enjoy this book!
