Dirty Little Lies by Clare James Review and Giveaway

 

Title: Dirty Little Lies

Author: Clare James

Release Date: January 25, 2014

 

 

 

Synopsis

 

 

Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named Free.

(Yeah, she knows it’s stupid name, so don’t start.)

But most importantly, Stevie’s lost herself.

 

As she shuffles through her days in worn-out Hello Kitty PJs—eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next move—a magazine article catches her attention.

Blaring black letters read: "How to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps."

 

  Stevie studies the article in the trashy magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do. With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex.

 

  Until she meets Gabe Shannon.

 Gorgeous, single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a lifestyle that is sure to help get her sexy back and then some.

If she doesn’t chicken out … (Oh, you know where this is going.)

 

What follows is a story of self-discovery, romantic gestures, erotic encounters, and following one's heart--even if it leads in unexpected directions.

 

  Portions originally published online as The Club e-series, Dirty Little Lies now has 70% more content, chapters from Gabe's point of view, and a sizzling conclusion to this steamy tale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chrissy's Review:

 

 So I really kinda loved this book because it had all the elements I love. Great sex, humor, intrigue. There was a moment in the book where I sat there and literally said to myself "why the fuck didn't I see that coming?" Well I'll tell you why? The author only gives you enough information to keep you wondering without actually giving anything away. I loved it. Plus there's a talking bird. Talking birds are awesome anyways. But when they make you laugh... Yeah, it kinda makes me want a talking bird and I'm not an animal person. Now let's get down to what we all know is my favorite part of books. Sex. The sex and non-sex in this book... Fuck me! It's just beyond hot. I seriously wanted to diddle because it's that hot but I wasn't about to put the book down so... All in all I give this book 4 and a half stars.

Excerpt

I have no trouble spotting him—he looks like a picture. Business casual in grey pants and a pale blue button-down, sprawled across a plaid blanket with a picnic basket at his feet. His eyes are closed and his arms are folded behind his head. 

I want to make a meal out of him.

Slowly, I move toward him, not wanting to disturb this image. I just want to savor him for a few more minutes.

 A warm smile stretches across his face. Busted.

“You like what you see?” he asks, eyes still closed.

 I play it cool and take a seat next to him on the blanket, fighting the incredible urge to mount him.

“The picnic?” I ask, refusing to feed his ego. “Yes, it looks fab.”

He opens his eyes and they look even brighter against his shirt. “So, that’s how you’re going to play it, huh?”

 “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I smirk. How am I supposed to be sexy around this guy? He catches my every move. “I’m just very excited for our picnic.” 

“Well, I’m very excited to see you,” he says, before yanking me down on top of him.
