While working on daytime television's hottest soap opera, Sunset Cove, naive newcomer Clay Beasely finds himself immersed in greed, corruption, and lust where he encounters arrogant men, scheming divas, and malicious producers. Reprint. 10,000 first printing.
This a a fun, quirky murder mystery set in the sex filled world of soap operas. Now I'm addicted to the shows I watch, All My Children and One Life to Live, so any book or movie that takes place in that world always holds my attention. The fact that this book is full of sexy guys, hot sex scenes, both gay and straight, and a growing body count, makes it all that much better.
Other than Travis and Clay who make a great couple and have to deal with the added pressure of trying to hide their relationship from the public the are some wonderfully over the top characters that make this book wonderful to read. There is the sexy, rich detective, Dave Paker who starts an affair with the gorgeous VP of Daytime Dramas, Drusilla Gordon who may be a suspect in the case. We have Cissis Stanton, the assistant casting director who may be taking too much interest in the personal lifes of certain cast memebers as well as a embezelling bitch of a producer and a cross dressing executive who wants to become a lesbian. Of course there are a few other characters, both major and minor, who play their roles in this well staged murder mystery.
This is a story of obsession gone wrong and of secrets that shouldn't be kept. It's what happens when those obessions start to control your life and when those secrets start to tear you apart. I recomend this one to anyone who wants a quick mystery to read that is both sexy and fun.
This is a fun read with a lot of quirky characters. The main couple have chemistry and their rocky road to happiness is well thought out. There are a lot of characters but it just adds to all the craziness of the soap opera setting. Guilty pleasure!
