Easy on the Eyes

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS SHERRI (non-blogger) AND KELLY.




by: Jane Porter
List Price: $13.99
Paperback: 352 pages
Publisher: 5 Spot
Release Date: July 22, 2009


From the author: At 38, Tiana Tomlinson has made it. America adores her as one of the anchors of America Tonight, a top-rated nightly entertainment and news program. But even with the trappings that come with her elite lifestyle, she feels empty. Tiana desperately misses her late husband Keith, who died several years before. And in a business that thrives on youth, Tiana is getting the message that her age is starting to show and certain measures must be taken if she wants to remain in the spotlight. It doesn’t help that at every turn she has to deal with her adversary—the devilishly handsome, plastic surgeon to the stars, Michael O'Sullivan. But a trip away from the Hollywood madness has consequences that could affect the rest of her life.

My take: It's no secret I have a "girl crush" on Jane Porter (see the last review I did for one of her books). So when I was given the chance to read an advance review copy of her latest book, Easy on the Eyes, I couldn't say "yes" fast enough. And I read the book just as fast. Who wouldn't? This delectable books was easy to devour. Of course, it helped that I could really related to the protagonist Tiana, a widow at a young age as I was. But more than that, Tiana's whole story was rich, compelling and engrossing. Now, I have no idea what it's like to have to maintain a perfect figure and a perfect face just to keep my job (luckily, my boss is fine with my very imperfect face and very imperfect (read: fat) body - I mean, who needs to look good to crunch numbers? But no matter, you don't know to understand the Hollywood elite to enjoy Easy on the Eyes. With Ms. Porter's writing skills, she takes you right inside Tiana's world and on a very enjoyable ride to the very end. Escapism? You bet. And I loved every minute of it. And you will too - you can read an excerpt here AND.....drum roll please...

I posted a response to "Should I go into Doggie Debt?" My heart goes out to "Confused Dog Lover." Reading her story brought back a lot of sad memories.
