Review of Pandora Affair
Hello all.
This is the first romance novel [if you can really call it that] that I have ever read. My roomate saw me reading it the other night, and immediatly tried to slam it into the normal cliche of "smut". Claiming it was only about fantasies, and overly dramatic female feelings. She said I would never learn anything from this type of literature, and I should give up before I give it a try.
I was already 60+ pages in, and couldn't put the book down. Tiffany did a great job of keeping the "carrot dangling" in front of me. Subtle hints, here and there, to keep you guessing and wanting to turn teh page. I couldn't put it down. I didn't even play Batman Arkham Origins on Thursday NIGHT!!!
Not only was the story Awesome, I did in fact learn. It was a simple word, faze, but I had to check the dictionary, for I thought Tiffany had made a mistake. In turn, I found faze was the correct word for the situation. It is something small a minor to the overall great story, but it impacted me to a memory that will last my lifetime. There was so much going on all at once, that I was never bored.
I could keep going, but then you would be staring at a 42 page wall of text, and I'm sure I've lost some of your interest already. If you like romance novels, get this damn book. If you dont like romance novels, Get this damn book. If you like reading, Get this damn book. If you breathe oxygen, GET THIS DAMN BOOK!

OH MY JEEZE!!! At the end of the Prologue for this book my heart stopped and I DROPPED MY KINDLE!! That's right.... dropped... Well.... after picking it back up and examining it for damage, I dove RIGHT into this novel!! Samantha Lockley (Fake Name/Long Story.... Wanna know why? Read it!! :-P hehe I know, mean right?) Anywho... she's been living her new life for a while now, when one day at work, a customer she's serving coffee to becomes the victim of a "Hot Coffee Tidal Wave" As is so eloquently put in the book... lol Samantha finds herself needing a new job... walks into Pandora Bar & Grill, wows the manager and job acquired... Her boss.... well, James is.... a bit of a character, but he's great!! And I laughed so many times at his reactions to Samantha's sass that this book that I couldn't help of think of James as a clueless dunce throughout most of the first half of the book.. lol. It’s definitely a story that sucked me in, held on, and took me for a ride!! The Pandora Affair has so many twists and turns and downright “WAIT!! OMG!! WTF!??!” moments that I couldn’t wait or stop myself from flipping to see what was on the next page! I knew there was something off about Alex but that was like O_O for me!! And Tyler!! OMG What an amazing character! I love the gay best friend! I collect gay people(according to my sister lol) I have more gay boyfriends than straight friends!! Lol James really is awesome and his determination top notch I tell ya! Roger was a hoot! I loved his quips and comebacks here and there. Tiffany had me in suspense through this entire book..!
If you like stories that aren’t 100% predictable with a sassy heroine, a kick-ass hero, and the FABULOUS gay bestie… with murder, suspense, love, and hot sex… then don’t miss out!! Grab this book now so you can read book two when it comes out!
I give this book 5 out of 5 shields!!

I received a copy exchange for an honest review.
I didn't know what to expect from this book, and boy was in surprised. Samantha had to start her life over because of an event that happened. She met James the owner of a restaurant. They had their ups and downs. Tyler oh I loved him. He was funny and witty.
Then something happened that took me by surprise. I was like Omg, I couldn't put the book down. Wow I didn't see that twist coming. A must read. :-)

Very well written and compelling story of a less than normal meet-cute. These two characters snag your heart and never let go, along with their loved ones at Pandora’s Bar and Grill.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The author has taken a book and turned it into a complete package. She truly amazed me because when I first started to read it I thought it was a love story with a little bit of something else. However, as the story falls into place the characters grabs you and you fall into their world. You right away know that Samantha has a past she runs away from and has found a place she believes is safe. The characters she meets from the place she settles all have their own personalities and even some are hilarious. I will have to say my favorite person in this book is Tyler because he is truly funny and outspoken. And Samantha has a very sassy attitude that will keep you laughing when she starts off.
While the author gives you little breadcrumbs throughout the whole book, she definitely knows how to keep the suspense going until the end. And the author throws in a special surprise for the readers in the midst of the excitement, but you will have to read it in order to find this out. Even though Samantha tries her hardest you can’t fight love! Great job to the author! This was an enjoyable read and I think you should read it!
