Spin the wheel. Date the guy. Write the story. Fall in love? Six years ago, Kitty Valentine took the book world by storm when her sweet debut romance hit number one on the Best Sellers List, which was followed by a string of successful releases. Her latest novel, however, totally bombs, causing her editor to suggest she write much sexier books. To Kitty, writing smut is the literary equivalent of stripping. But with no advance coming in and her royalties dipping to an all-time low, Kitty has no choice. Armed with a hot-guy spinning prize wheel, made by her best friend, listing all the different types of men she will date and then write about, Kitty will be spinning—not stripping—her way back onto the best-sellers list. And in the process, she just might write her own happily ever after.
“One of the best books I’ve read in ages! All the little things we women face on a day-to-day basis, the author describes in side-splitting detail. I couldn’t stop laughing!” Christy Phillippe ~ Dog Ear Publishing Editor Since when did ordering at Starbucks require an advanced educational degree? What are the proper rules for regifting these days, and how can I avoid regifting the candle my friend gave me last Christmas back to her? Why does Siri seem to have an attitude if I ask her the same question more than once? These are the musings of real-life, middle-aged-and-proud-of-it Madalyn Kinsey, who allows us to laugh along with her as she candidly reveals the weaknesses she has that we all know only too well. She belongs to a gym she’s never visited, and she shudders at the thought of running into friends at the grocery who’ll see the cookies, chips, and soda in her shopping cart. This candid and funny book is a breath of fresh air for women (and men) who want to enjoy the humor of a smart and bewildered woman as she not only examines her own foibles, but also the absurdities of the world around her. She may not have all the answers, but she makes examining the issues a whole lot of fun!
