Agent Provocateur
When Grace enters into a bet with happily married Betty, the issue at stake is fidelity. The prize is Betty's husband. Grace and Betty were never going to be the best of friends. Grace is a honey trapper, hired to tempt unfaithful men, while Betty is a magazine journalist with a brief to write a profile of Grace's career. Each has a moral outlook that places them worlds apart and -- inevitably -- fireworks explode when Betty first interviews Grace. But fate plays its hand as the two women are manipulated into betting that Grace can't trap Betty's perfect husband, Johnny. While the roulette wheel of their lives spins ever faster, Grace, Betty and Johnny are caught up in a battle over the nature of love. But can there ever be a winner? And if so, who will it be?

Hi. Thanks. I hated it.
I hate giving one stars to books because I don't think it's fair. But Oh My God was I angry throughout all of this book. So angry that I just don't know what else to give it because I did not have fun AT ALL.
To the author's credit she wrote real people, really well. The situation invokes the right emotions. The writing is engaging, there is absolutely nothing wrong with how this author writes. It was everything fucking else.
I sympathized with none of these characters, except for the friends that had to deal with this love triangle bullshit. Grace and Betsy were both horrible in their own ways but Johnny was the absolute worst.
You know what would have saved this whole situation? Communication. Betsy should have have just told Johnny what was going on. They could have played Grace together, but they didn't and he was a freaking dipshit.
Honestly... I'm furious. I'm so, so, so, so angry. Like... convinced this is a man writing as a woman, kind of angry. But considering this was published in 2004 I'm guessing it's just a product of it's time.

A bit laboured - we get it... we don't need it over explained.
Otherwise a fun read.

Interesting and different story but the ending dragged out a bit.
Easy to read chick lit, perfect for a holiday.
