Steph'sBookRamblings: Felony Ever After

*Little bit of a change up around here for the next few weeks as I have gotten so many great opportunities to preview upcoming releases! I will have Monday reviews this week and next so I can get word out to you on these great books before they are released so you can preorder-YAY!

Summary from Amazon:

***13 Authors put their brains together to write ONE story***

     Verity Michaels is new to New York City, but even she knows riding in a stolen a cab is not a normal way to meet someone. Damn it if that tattoo-covered would-be felon isn’t everywhere now, and lighting everything on fire under her skirt.
     His name is Hudson Fenn, and he’s frustratingly impossible to pin down. He works as a bike messenger, but has the manners of a prince—along with a strange tendency toward breaking and entering. As much as Verity knows he’s not her type, and likely to land her in jail, she can’t help but find her truest self when they’re together.
     Can she be brave enough to give Hudson a real chance? Will he be bold enough to reveal the man beneath the ink, or will his secrecy doom their connection? Also, WTF is the deal with Verity’s boss? No less than thirteen of your favorite romance writers have teamed up to tell this sexy, wacky, snort-inducing tale.

My Thoughts:

I was slightly concerned that having thirteen different authors writing one book might make it awkward and stilted but I was so wrong! This book was so much fun and introduced me to some great new authors that I hadn’t had a chance to read as of yet. This is a quick, fun little romp full of funny, sexy times!

Verity has taken a “proper job” in NYC to please her father and while it pays well, her boss is totally pervy and weird so she’s not sure it’s worth it. She loves the city and her friends and one night after leaving them to head home in a cab she ends up being forced to share it with a tattooed stranger and then while stopped in traffic-he steals the cab!?! He oh-so-graciously takes her home but it was still the weirdest experience of her life!

A few days later, Verity’s Creeper Boss gets the second of many mysteriously bizarre packages delivered and guess who the bike messenger is? Her tattooed, cab stealing, felony committing buddy, Hudson, and ….he’s cute. She keeps running into Hudson and begins to realize that there is a lot more to him that she first realized. He’s really nice but he doesn’t share much about himself. After Verity snoops a bit and her Creeper Boss reveals some really weird habits of his own and then outs some of Hudson’s as well….Verity doesn’t know who to believe. Is her Tattooed White Knight really a nice guy?

This book was so much fun to read that I read it all in one day! It’s a fast read but so much happens. These writers did a great job teaming up and passing around the chapters to give us a hilarious and fun romp through New York City. Verity is sassy, strong and a great female character-no wishy-washy females here! And all the secondary characters are so much fun and add a lot to the story. The only complaint about it that I can come up is that it was too short and I wish there was more!

4.5/5 stars
