Painted Jezebel

by Jolie Pethtel 

Sandy Penny Review:

Painted Jezebel: Jezebel Jinx, what a great name for a sexy heroine. Quirky, fast paced romance, mystery and murder combine in an easy read that you can't put down. In fact, I read it straight through. A handsome hero, lots of suspects, and some twists and turns right up to the end keep the story galloping along. Well written, well plotted, interesting characters and a good setup for more books to come. The first in the Jezebel Jinx series, I want more. 

-----------------------

Synopsis, Painted Jezebel: Publicist Finn Mackenzie has always been lucky, until an ill-fated affair with a vindictive writer leaves him one chance for redemption: a spectacular public appearance by the elusive best-selling romance author, Jezebel Jinx.

Unfortunately, the cute but kooky writer refuses to cooperate. Jezebel believes she’s cursed with bad luck. Riddled with anxieties, she never leaves her home— until the gorgeous, albeit desperate Finn whisks her away to a writer’s conference, against her will. After the initial shock wears off, Jezebel’s dormant hormones kick into high gear around the hunky Finn.

When his ex turns up murdered and Jezebel is the prime suspect, ill-planned sexcapades are the least of their worries. . 92712
