Sally Harrington #2

by Laura Van Wormer

Sally Harrington thinks she's in the best relationship of her life. She's a Connecticut journalist, he's a Manhattan book editor and they're playing for keeps. But in the course of 48 hours, Sally finds her love life skidding wildly off the road of respectability, her career spiraling into oblivion, her bank account emptying to zero, and herself publicly exposed.

All because of one lover, the last lover, Spencer Hawes.

And now Sally can't even find him. He's disappeared off the face of the earth -- run off, Sally believes, with Lilliana Martin, a drop-dead- gorgeous Hollywood actress. Then Lilliana's ex-boyfriend turns up dead -- practically on Sally's doorstep.

Sally's young, talented and great-looking -- and the problems invading her life seem to come in the form of other talented and great-looking people. Some carry Oscars, some carry Emmys and some carry briefcases -- and then there's the crowd that comes crashing in with guns, badges and indictments.

Reviews

[Foktjen Koning · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not my sort of story/book. I’m done reading it.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

I guess there are several other books in this series -- haven't read any of the others. It is fast-paced romantic suspense story where the main character is thrown into an unpredictable situation, involving the disappearance of a Hollywood starlet and the murder of the starlet's boyfriend with ties to several mob families. Some of the text is a little x-rated, fair warning.

First book I have read by van Wormer. Pretty readable with an interesting storyline. Putting all the mafioso names together at the end did not relive some of the complications of twisty story.

This is the rarest of all books for me...I could not read anymore after eighty pages.
