About book Lethally Blond (2007)

Really Bailey?!?! After pining for Beau Regan, the man you instantly felt as soon as you saw him that he was the man you would marry; you are actually torn at the end of this book!?!?! …with a younger, rising actor!?!? Yes, the attraction is tangible and great. There was a basis of friendship before the great sex. Yet the initial connection with Beau was so immediate… the reconnection in this book, while fraught with some bumps, was so true; you are now torn at the end????Are you a commitment phobe??? Are you afraid of being hurt???? What is going on with you???I really like Bailey and I have enjoyed this series. My biggest criticism would be her relationships with men. She seems to profess that she would like a committed relationship, though burned by a divorce that took her by surprise in a sense (she had no idea that her husband was a compulsive gambler and in debt to loan sharks), yet seems to try to sabotage any viable relationship she enters into. First was the psychiatrist she first consulted as source for the story she was writing as a true crime author. She ultimately sabotaged that, when he was ready for commitment and all of a sudden, she was not when he committed. I lived with it. However, I have no patience for this sudden reversal on Beau at the end of this book…as she professed that Chris (the young actor) was a great friend and a good fling, but not really serious. Now, she is ready to give up a satisfying , substantial relationship (yes, fraught with possible hurt and failure), to turn to the heady attention as he main squeeze of a young and rising actor. Are you that shallow Bailey!?!?As you can surmise, I’m majorly pissed off at the main character at this point. I did enjoy the mystery in this book and all previous books. I just have a problem with Bailey, from book to book. She can end up being so shallow and so immature; even though the majority of the time, she seems together and more mature.Don’t know what to think at this point. One more to go (at least so far at this time), so I guess I’ll go forward. Hope Bailey develops more understanding of herself and perspective as we go onward. Plot twists and conflicts I can take and enjoy. I can’t live with plot twists, however, that are superficial and stupid. Don’t fail me now Bailey. You’re a great character.

I was in the mood for a mystery and thought this sounded interesting.I didn't mind the writing style but the story was really dumb. I couldn't believe that Bailey would put so much effort and personal risk into investigating the disappearance of someone she's never met ... and all at the request of a guy she had had a thing for six months earlier but hadn't seen since.I don't think so.Plus Bailey is a mere reporter of a celebrity mag ... yet everyone is answering her questions and giving her info as though she is a cop.Plus she finds time to bang two hot guys.The ending was blah ... I didn't care who dunnit by the time I got there.If you can get beyond all this, you may enjoy this book. But I can't say I'd recommend it.

Do You like book Lethally Blond (2007)?

In my very humble opinion, this book is horrible. The editor should be shot on sight and the authoress should go back to grammar school. There were spelling and grammar mistakes that should have been recognized and fixed, instead I had a continuous desire to get out my red pen and start fixing the damn thing. The plotline reads like a twist between Star magazine and a bad film noir mystery. She basically takes in consideration the typical American's obsession with celebrities and wraps a loose mystery around it. I wanted to burn it after I was finished, but somehow I restrained myself. Thank goodness I didn't buy it or I would be pi**ed.

This novel just seemed to go on forever. There is plenty of action – both the murderous kind and the romantic kind – to keep up your interest. So then why, before I was even half way through with the story, was I tired of Bailey’s investigations? Maybe I just couldn’t buy her obsession to uncover Tom’s killer. She wasn’t assigned this investigation by her employer. She didn't even know Tom. She was just doing a favor for a friend, and he wasn’t even a close friend. Maybe her over-involvement was just not believable. But even while she is trying to flush out the killer, and is nearly killed in the process, she can’t decide which of her former lovers to zero in on. So what does she do but seek comfort from both? C’mon, Bailey, make a decision. You’re not in high school anymore. This is more Chick Lit than mystery, and it’s not very entertaining as either one.

3.5 starsI liked that this mystery took her away from her job at the magazine a bit and we were able to get a better feel for the city. This was perfect for me since I picked it up and started reading it while in New York. Bailey is fun. She is the hip New Yorker that you’d want to be friends with and share juicy stories. And the mystery is good too- I didn’t have any idea until very close to the reveal at the end. Not only is her ex Chris back, but another ex, Beau, is back and looking Bailey’s way. Not sure how much bed hopping is appropriate, but it was close to my limit. If you’ve never been the big town girl with a cool job, mysteries to solve, and attractive men in your bed then Bailey is just what you need. Live vicariously through her.there's more on my blog http://stacybuckeye.wordpress.com/200...
