Sizzling Summer Selections

Kick off the summer with one of these steamy page-turners and meet the authors at the Lit as we celebrate their new releases in June.

Wendy Wax’s Single in Suburbia

Synopsis:

Amanda’s husband has just traded her in for a teenybopper. Brooke is a trophy wife collecting dust. And Candace (Don’t call me Candy) has had too many husbands and too little love. With nothing in common but a losing Little League baseball team and a plot to keep the roof over Amanda’s kids’ heads, these three unlikely accomplices don disguises to clean the houses of those who’ve spurned them and discover more than just clutter in the closets of their neighbors’ otherwise tidy lives.

But when Amanda starts cleaning the home of the town’s most eligible hunk, someone does her dirty. Now Amanda, Brooke, and Candace are on a mission to prove that being single in suburbia isn’t a crime—even if it does lead to some irresistible temptations.

Reviews:

Gigi Levangie Grazer’s The Starter Wife

Synopsis:

When her husband, Kenny, dumps her by cell phone mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock is dazed and confused. Though life as the wife of a semi-famous Hollywood studio executive often left her yawning, Gracie always believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought she'd be a starter wife.

But Kenny has upgraded, and with images of his new pop tartlet girlfriend everywhere Gracie turns, she seeks refuge at her best friend's Malibu mansion. Then a mysterious hunk saves her from drowning and suddenly drowning in her sorrows seems like a waste of time. And when she takes up with Kenny's boss, one of Hollywood's better-known Lotharios, she discovers that maybe life after divorce -- Hollywood-style -- isn't so bad after all!

Reviews:

"Fearless and fabulous. Only an insider like Gigi Grazer could have so much wicked fun with the intricacies of Hollywood's power couples." - Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada

"The third and funniest in a succession of novels about the cutthroat social mores of the entertainment industry by a woman who has witnessed them up close."-- The New York Times Book Review
