Nurture Book Tour: Stilettos & Scoundrels by Laina Turner

ABOUT THE BOOK

Presley Thurman, a sassy, thirty-something red-head, was looking to reinvent herself. She didn't allow the fact she was recently fired to bother her - she was ready to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer. Presley is a lover of shopping and Starbucks, and even though she sometimes had bad taste in men, she always had great taste in clothes. Not looking back on corporate America, Presley decided to follow her dream. With her feisty nature and a spirit to not "sweat the small stuff," she was ready to tackle any challenge (even if she had no idea how she would pay the bills). When her friend Trevor offered her a job with his online magazine to interview public figures, she jumped at the chance. However, the new job turned into something unexpected when the U.S. Senator she was slated to write about was murdered - in her home town! Presley was excited - she hadn't seen so much buzz since the spring sample sale at Saks. She was ready for this adventure, even if it didn't seem to fit neatly into her life. She couldn't pass up the opportunity to be in the middle of the buzz. Presley was determined (not to mention curious) to find the killer and write her story. After all, she couldn't afford her shoe habit without a job and she was certainly not one to shy away from danger. The only thing standing in her way was an old high school fling, Cooper Sands, head of the Senator's security.

MY THOUGHTS

A delightful mystery slash romance.  It's the Shopoholic series and Angela Lansbury all rolled into one, which makes for a charming heroine.  Written in Presley's perspective, the writing is very easy to follow, with the exception of the few times a few secondary characters jump in to speak for themselves.  That kind of threw the flow of the story somewhat, but was easily dismissed with how the sparks flew between Presley and Cooper. A great first book of a new series, cozy and chicklit readers alike will find enjoyment with Stiletto's and Scoundrels.
