Fashion Jungle by Kathy Ireland & Rachel Van Dyken



💄💄💄💄💄

Fashion Jungle is a cutthroat look at the world of fashion! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense, drama and romance. I'm incredibly blown away by and can't wait to read it all over again.

The story revolves around the 4 main people left behind after the death of their friend and sister. Four very different lives, with secrets behind them all.

I could NOT put this book down once I started it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I even ugly cried at one point. Such a tragic and beautifully woven tales of love, loss and lies.

This is my top recommended book of 2020 so far, and it'll be hard to beat! Such a powerhouse duo of talented writers, I'm still reeling even days later.

**Fair warning: It could contain some triggers for some (it did for me), so just be aware going in.

Summary:

Four women...Four very different paths. One incredibly cutthroat world.

Welcome to the Jungle.

As America's sweetheart, Brittany is perceived as the "good girl." The sort to bring her Bible to a photoshoot...only to garner the attention of a most unlikely suitor. Until one mistake irrevocably changes both of their lives forever. Fortunately, both now and then, Brittany has wonderful support systems, including her tribe.

The leader of the tribe and a model who's fought every battle and obstacle in the industry, Zoe, knows her worth. Until a sex tape scandal rocks her world. She sees no choice but to put her trust in the one man she shouldn't, to make it all go away and help her succeed. Unfortunately, not only is he mired in New York's underbelly, he wants repayment...with interest. Namely, her hand in marriage.

Despite her seemingly perfect life, Everlee has problems of her own. Not only has her world-renowned photographer husband been cheating, but it's actually much worse than that. The things surrounding what he's done are so dark and dangerous, Everlee's life may actually be in jeopardy.

And then there's Danica, cold, dead in the ground Danica. Some secrets stay hidden while others are just waiting to be discovered - hers has the power to alter the industry forever.

In the world of the Fashion Jungle, it's easily eat or be eaten...but, if you make it out alive, you just might have a story to tell - though it will likely be one of secrets, lies, deceit, and loss.

Strap on your stilettos, it's about to get wild.

Based on true stories and events.

Risky Play by Rachel Van Dyken (Red Card #1)


🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Rachel Van Dyken does a marvelous job of making you fall in love with the characters, then in the next second, wanting to wring their necks while they redeem themselves in your heart.

The story starts off with Mackenzie Dupont being left at the altar. She's saved herself for her husband, who's been her best friend since birth, but there's no real sparks or love. When she goes on her honeymoon six months later, she has a brush with death and decides to finally start living her life - including a one-night stand with a handsome stranger.

Slade Rodriguez can't resist Mackenzie and wants more than one night with her, but when his life is turned on it's axis, he blames the easiest scapegoat, Mack.

Through a series of events, Mack ends up being Slade's assistant, and watching him be a tyrant to her is heart-wrenching, but not dragged out (which I appreciated).

Groveling and witty banter are at the core of this story, while it's spun with back stories and twists you won't see coming. I'm enamored with the characters and can't wait for the next book in the Red Card series!

I started Risky Play at bedtime, thinking I'd read a chapter or two...instead, I stayed up until almost 3am to finish it in one sitting! Definitely one of my favorite reads of 2019 so far!
