I am going to try to write this review without giving anything away because it is such a treat; full of twists and turns and you deserve to find them out for yourself. That being said: Mama Mia! (Thought I would try something other than HOLY COW, but seriously, that is what I thought when I finished this book.) OK, I have to say it, HOLY COW! Once again Ms. Sinna has managed to craft a sexy hot mystery that kept me guessing until the end! I liked this book even more than the first one. If you read my review of the first book, then you know that I was amazed that she had managed to keep me in the dark about the secrets through the book. This time I made more of an effort to see if I could figure it out and once again I was so caught up in the story I totally forgot about trying to keep up with the twists and turns. I just went along with the ride.
And what a ride it was. Stephanie has even more new globetrotting adventures for us to enjoy. She gets to travel to exotic locations, all the while on the trail of a hot story. Also, Stephanie’s penchant for bad boys gets her into all sorts of interesting situations. In this book we get an intriguing look into to world of film making. The back stabbing and petty grudges give way to sabotage and life threatening adventures. Trying to get over Gabriel takes a back seat to trying to solve the mystery of who is trying to ruin the film and figuring out just who is trying to buy that Academy Award. And while Stephanie thinks she has left Gabriel in the past, she finds just how wrong she is about that. I am dying to read the third book in the Stephanie Beauman series, to see just what happens between the two and if she will finally get her HEA.
So here is where I become the one that annoys authors: Ms. Sinna when does the third book come out!? I am dying to know what happens next!

I loved Simone Sinna’s first book in the Stephanie Beauman series and eagerly awaited Expose. This one takes the investigative journalist from New York, where she is recovering from the end of her affair with Gabriel, to France and Spain. Producer Jeffrey Carroway is making a film on the Camino de Santiago—the famous pilgrims' walk—and Stephanie has a tip-off that he is planning to buy himself an Academy Award.
Stephanie joins the film crew and finds more than she bargained for when things start going wrong on set. I don’t know much about film crews but all the petty jealousies, tantrums thrown by the stars and fights between the producer and director sounded realistic to me. Sinna’s sparkling writing highlighted the tensions, bringing them alive to such an extent that that much over-used phrase ‘page-turner’ really applies in this case.
Sabotage, bribery, and artistic integrity are all in the mix as Stephanie struggles to find out who’s trying to destroy the film and who, if anyone, is trying to buy that award. I have to confess that I didn’t guess, which is good because I usually do! Stephanie isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes to get her story, and for that I admire her. She’s attracted against her will to the charismatic Carroway, gets entangled with director Paolo and male lead Damian Croft. She also needs to figure out why the location manager is keeping such a close eye on her, and wonders whether she will ever truly escape Gabriel.
I can’t wait for book three to find out if she finishes up with Gabriel. I kinda hope she does.
Entertaining, witty, lots of hot sex and even hotter sunshine. What more could you ask? Do yourself a favour and buy a copy of this fun, well-researched novel. You won’t regret it.

April 9, 2012I can't review my own book but would love you to!
If you're interested in walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela this will give you a different slant. All authentic locations from France to Spain that I did actually walk, but in this Stephanie is on the film crew!
