As you all know by now, I read a lot. I have read 98 books out of my goal of 100 this year so far. It isn’t often that I can read a book and remember key parts of it anymore. That is just how things go when you read so much. But, I can say that I have read a book recently that really got my mind going. When I read Sex, Lies, & Hot Tubs, I knew I was going to be reviewing it but totally spaced on writing my review. Months later, I can still tell you what the book was about and some of my favorite parts. What does all that mean? this is an interesting book with a catchy storyline!
Elissa Ambrose is a pure genius when it comes to grabbing your attention. This book has twists and turns and makes you keep wondering what is going on. I think of myself as pretty creative but the ending of this book even had me reeling a bit! I would totally recommend Sex, Lies & Hot Tubs! Be sure to let me know if you read it. I would love to know if you have the same reaction as I did to reveal of the killer!
Synopsis:
If a woman tries to preserve a marriage that has been damaged by infidelity, is she heroic or is she delusional? How many times does her husband have to cheat before she calls it quits? How many times does he have to get caught?
Meet Ellen Dunwell, doting wife, loving mother, high school teacher extaordinaire. She’s worried that her husband, the respected Dr. Jeffrey Dunwell, successful dermatologist, wonderful father, great lover, is having another affair. A man of many interests, Jeffrey also dabbles in real estate. But Ellen won’t confront him about what she’s sure is his latest interest, his perky new lab assistant, Keeley Wilder. She doesn’t want to sound like a shrew, but worse, what if she’s right? As if that’s not bad enough, her friends don’t understand her, her neighbor’s son is a Peeping Tom, and her angst-ridden teenage daughter is stashing pot in her room and dating a control freak. When Jeffrey suddenly disappears, Ellen nearly slips over the edge. Instead, she pulls herself together and sets out on a mission to find him—only to get caught up in a web of intrigue and danger, where nothing is as it seems and the stakes are her life.
And now, a bit about this creative genius…
Elissa Ambrose was born in Montreal, Canada. After graduating from McGill University with a degree in English, for some strange reason she embarked on a career in computer programming. Seventeen years later, after an amicable parting with technology, she returned to her first love—the written word. First she was an editor at a company that produced educational material, and later at a literary magazine. Prior to Sex, Lies & Hot Tubs, she published four romances with Harlequin and several short stories. Along the road to publication, she raised two daughters. She and her husband now live in Arizona. (Yes, it’s hot. But it’s a dry heat, remember? And you can’t shovel heat.)
