Drop Dead, Gorgeous! (The Gorgeous Series, Book 2)
3 journalers for this copy...
From the backcover:
Ah, weddings - every single woman's reminder that she'll probably die alone, covered in cat hair and dressed in unflattering sweatpants. And as far as bad wedding experiences go, my friend Stacy's could take the cake - I'm dateless, I'm a bridesmaid, and someone just attempted to whack the groom (known, no kidding, as The Boss) in the middle of the ceremony. Whoa...hang on. I might not relish reception food or doing the Electric Slide, but anyone who tries to ruin a girlfriend's big day by bumping off her true love will have to go through me first. So now I, assistant hairdresser Jenny Branch, am helping to hunt down a real-life bad guy, and the prime suspect is Kevin Stone, who claims to be working undercover for a group called Covert Ops Protection. All of this is hard to believe - my new role as spy-in-training, the fact that I'm surrounded by people with freaky superhuman powers, and most of all, the way that this unbelievably sexy villain/double agent/whatever Kevin is makes every (and I mean every) nerve-ending tingle the second he comes into view...and it appears to be mutual. Living with flying bullets and constant danger is a long way from sweeping up hair at the end of the day. But if it means being around Kevin, a girl could get used to it...

Plot was very thin. The characters were pretty par for the course. I did like Kevin but this one was just ok.

Thanks so much for the wishlist RABCK! I appreciate it. Looking forward to reading it. Thank you!
My Review: This book is equal parts goofy, funny, humorous and just a little bit of romance tossed in for good measure. I have to be in the mood for something this goofy to really enjoy it. If you are looking for a serious romantic suspense, this isn't it! ;-)
I am putting this into the Virtual Romance Bookbox for Round #11.
