NO LAUGHING MATTER
Comedienne Maria Teresa Juanita Martinez-Coleman wants her big break so badly she can taste it. Nothing and no one is going to stand in her way, especially nightclub owner Randall Blue. Lately, it seems he's been stalking her--showing up at all her gigs, never laughing but ever-present. He's handsome, rich, and completely out of her league, so she's clueless why he's hanging around...unless he's making sure the show she has scheduled at his famous Topaz Room wasn't a booking error?
Randall Blue has found the full package in Mia. Funny, smart, curvy, sassy--and connected to an arms dealer Randall's been tracking. No one suspects his covert objective; he has a great cover as a businessman with an eye for the ladies. The problem is, this brash, fearless woman is more than a way into El Duke's gang, she's The One. He he has no right claiming her, not when everything she knows about him is a lie. But to keep her out of danger, he's got to get close, which, of course, is right where he wants to be.
Customer Reviews
Rising Star
A good plot but one that's been churned out far too many times before. There are two unbelievable main characters: a foul mouthed female stand-up comic, living on the bread-line and a millionaire club owner who is working undercover to bring a drug cartel to justice. We are supposed to believe that Randall falls in love with Mia almost at first sight, accepting her trash attitude and atrociously bad language, he even invites her to accompany him to a social event after their first 'date', thankfully she refuses.
Did Rising Star improve dramatically after chapter seven? Could family-loving Mia ever hold a conversation without swearing, maybe she was also an undercover agent and it was all an act. I'll never know. I kept hoping something original and unexpected would happen, it didn't.
I appreciate that authors almost sweat blood when writing and for that reason I always finish reading a book. Not with Rising Star. After struggling through seven chapters I gave up and deleted. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
