book. I am not sure I would read more from this author but It was a funny story, It started out as a bit of a farce, and then became a great fun read with characters that I loved, or loved to hate.
WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE, A BEAUTIFUL ROM/COM WITH A MYSTERY, IT REMINDED ME A LITTLE OF THE MOVIE "SABRINA", MADISON A LITTLE LIKE THE CHARACTER IN "BORN YESTERDAY" ONLY BETTER, I HATED WHEN IT ENDED, SIGH! D This book is awful, Don't read it! Thank goodness it was free on my kindle!! What a sweet, silly, and funny book,
Such a refreshing change from all the billionaire hunk stories making the rounds these days, T Larry Hobbs is very, very hot in his own nerdy way, and Madison is just a lovely heroine, I fell in love with stuffy, balding, tax accountant T, Larry what a great H turned out to be a little alpha, He grew out of his need to plan for the perfect outcome and fell in love with Madison, I liked this book it made me laugh, The side characters made me laugh too, The suspense revolves around a stalker of the h a little OTT but made for some good laughs, I needed a break from my usual, I'm glad I saw this as astar from a GR friend and took a chance, coming soon. All of the characters are extremely annoying, Madison is more like a bubbly twit than just "full of life" as the author tries to portray her, I kept questioning why I even took time to finish it, The stupid nicknames, the childish office, the very obvious criminal, . Just skip it It has been a while since I have read a Mills and Boon, Anyway, this was a sweet, quick read and I did enjoy it, There were some quite funny parts in the book and I always love it when you get to see both main characters thoughts about different situations.
The only thing that I was a little confused by was why the guy on the front of the book had a full head of hair whereas the character was going bald.
A little bit of a Fail right there, Okay for what it was a nice beach read or Sunday read when you dont have anything else to read Enjoy jasmine Haynes as self or Jennifer Skully Madison O'Donnell is the bubbly secretary for T.
Laurence Hobbs. She believes she will die of a stroke on herth birthday and so makes sure she lives life to the fullest no matter what.
In this book she decided two weeks before her birthday that it is time to fall in love,
We see her looking in all the wrong, sometimes even dangerous places when the truth is staring her in the face,
Drop Dead Gorgeous was a funny romance with a twist of danger thrown in to keep readers on their toes, I love that T. Larry is not your typical leading man, The fact that he was a stuffy balding accountant made him more endearing and realistic, The whole book felt genuine and more life like then most,
After finding so much humor with this book, Jennifer Skully is now on my must read the rest of her books list.
cheesy,predictable but good fun, an easy read that didn't make my brain hurt Clever and witty and laugh out loud funny, This was my first book my Jennifer Skully and won't be my last, Her characters had me cracking up and the story made it very hard to set the book down, I couldn't wait to see what happened next! T, Larry and Madison
Madison is a funloving young woman who believes she'll die young, She sees only the good in people, which leaves her open to trouble, Her boss lives by his plans but is attracted her, The trouble that ensues makes for a fun trip, with humor and intrigue along the way, Highly recommended. Fun story, a little slow to start but worth it to hang in there, By the end, I was hanging on every word and rooting for both the hero and heroine as it should be, This has to be Jennifer Sully's best book to date, It is funny, sexy and the heroine has a thing for her boss who is balding and an accountant, But it doesn't stop there, Madison has a stalker who cleans her apartment and along with the fact that she needs to fall in love before she turnsbecause she thinks she will die because her father did at that age.
She has two weeks to find the right man, And when T. Larry, her boss finds out what she has planned, her makes it his goal to watch her like a guard dog as she dates who she thinks may be her perfect man.
T. We don't find out what the "T" stands for till the very end calls himself Laurence, but Madison nicknames him Larry, Larry wears glasses and is a no nonsense type of guy, Madison is the complete opposite, She is a bit naïve in her thinking and a tad like "Little Mary Sunshine",
So you can just imagine what happens when Larry starts to fall for his Madison, who happens to also be is secretary.
This is one cute and zany story, Madison is an incredible woman who is genuinely kind and sweet, T. Larry is also a good guy, but just a little too stiff, Hey, he likes numbers! And when these two start to heat up the sheets WOW very hot!
A much recommended read for anyone who likes sexy comedies with wonderful characters.
I want to grab a towel, some suntan lotion, and head to the beach with this one, I found this contemporary romance/comedy to be great! If you are looking for a very light read, a little break from reality, this quick little book is for you.
Surprisingly, the characters had a lot of depth, The storyline was engaging. The sex scenes were pretty "wow, " Could should have skipped this one! Mindless, trite and obvious! could, not. finish.
why do i keep trying to read jennifer skully books shudder I chose to read this book and the 'Drop Dead, Gorgeous!' note punctuation on other title because they were near each other on the chick lit shelf of the library.
I thought it would be amusing to read and compare the two books, and brought them both on holiday with me,
While the other book had a hint of scifi, was a screwball comedy with a lot of hot sex, this one went the more traditional romance route.
In the line of boss/secretary of many years finally have an imperative to fall in love, this book actually had a lot more going on.
In fact, compared to the other book, I felt like a hell of a lot more actually happened in this plot, Ironically, the characters even felt like they were in a lot more danger and had more obstacles to overcome
in both their romance and their lives.
After the hot sexiness of the other book, the prudish 'oh my god he kissed me' attitude of this Drop Dead Gorgeous's heroine was funny and almost unrealistic.
The writing was well done for a book of this genre, and it had a bit more bite than a simple romance story.
I will definitely look for other books by this author when I need more light holiday reading, Meh. The courtship of one dimensional characters having boring sex, And there's pubic hair. Sometimes I give chick lit a chance because of the pretty covers but often regret it, I found myself wishing Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele would enter this story and both couples would make a murdersuicide pact and go away.
I read this as an eBook on my laptop and all though I wasnt consistent with the read I still found this story a bit irritating and pointless.
The name of the main character T, Larry or nickname, should I say was annoying, I can't imagine anyone using that as a nickname, Madison was just as bad, she was far to bubble and over positive, and sometimes she came across incredible stupid, just unrealistic for my taste.
I thought the storyline was weak and very predictable,
I wouldnt have brought this book,
Where is love when you really need it
