Kitty's Book Spot!

Robert is just ending his term of being the Mayor of New York City.  There must be a party to celebrate his good work.  Doesn't hurt that he is thinking of running for Governor too.  The people seem to like him and he is good at this job. Adeline, trying to make the party for Robert, is fighting the feelings she is starting to feel for him.  It is a madhouse to go back into the slippery slope that is politics.  When he finds out who her father is this whole scenario will be worse.  Since he is the first man to make her feel in years should she take a chance? I absolutely loved the story.  Fast paced, with corners of darkness shadowing the light, I loved the characters and their weaknesses that were showing.  There was banter, and sexual innuendo and frustration at first.  All the more titillating and the sparks were humming as we read the first half.  The second half, however, is where the real scandal lies.  I give this g...

Naomi has always wanted one thing: an address in the Upper East Side.  Only it takes more than address to have the New York Elite accept her.  She is already a strong and powerful woman in her own right, owning a jewelry empire as she does.  What more can she do to get where she wants to be? Oliver has always had a thing for Naomi.  They grew up together of a sort, as her mother worked for his family.  She does not want an association with him at this point, though.  She wants to be accepted on her own merits.  Can he convince her to try a little with him? This story felt kind of off to me for some reason.  I liked the characters and the story just fine.  It just seemed to start off slower than the pace is usually from this author.  Overall I liked the struggle and story and would give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange from Netgalley and its publishers.
