Drop Dead Gorgeous - Gorgeous, Bk 2

Ah, weddings -- every single woman's reminder that she'll probably die alone, covered in cat hair and dressed in unflattering sweatpants. And as far as bad wedding experiences go, my friend Stacy's could take the cake. 1) I'm dateless 2) I'm a bridesmaid, and 3) Someone just attempted to whack the groom (known, no kidding, as The Boss) in the mi...  more »

I love Betsy the Vampire Queen, so I grabbed this book when I saw it at the used book store. I was not disappointed. All the humor and light romance of the Betsy books were easily found here. This was the second book in a series, but as the forward warns, this book stood alone.

Although DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS! is the second in the GORGEOUS series, the author states herself that if you can't afford to help her pay her mortgage by buying the first book, HELLO, GORGEOUS!, don't despair -- this book can stand alone quite nicely.

Where in the first book we were introduced to Caitlyn, the nanobyte-filled new superhero of the O.S.I., we're now given a glimpse into the staid, steadfast life of Jennifer "Jenny" Branch. She's the secretary/receptionist/administrative assistant of Mag, the salon owned and operated by Caitlyn -- who also happens to have parental issues, a brown belt in judo, the ability to shoot a gun with accuracy, and the desire to get a real life.

That opportunity arrises when Stacy, Caitlyn's best friend and a co-worker at Mag, is nearly gunned down during her wedding to The Boss, the leader of the O.S.I. When Jenny overpowers the gunman (or, actually, when the gunman allows himself to be overpowered), Jenny gets her chance to star in her own action-adventure movie. It seems that Kevin Stone, once a covert operative for C.O.P.S., has been deep undercover in The Snakepit for four years - and then was forgotten by his superiors when the operation lost government funding.

What follows is Kevin's reemergence into the lair of the bad guys, accompanied by Jenny. Sex, as sex always does in an MJD story, follows, as does a quick and intense romance.

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS! is romantic fluff - but fun romantic fluff. This is a super-quick, easy read, but it's good for a couple of hours of laughs.

Not as funny or well written as her other stuff, especially compared to the first book. Suspend all belief and just enjoy Davidson's craziness. Definitely not a keeper even I did love the characters but things just didn't click together. It was okay but I would have been okay if I skipped it as well.

I read about a chapter of this book. I can not even fathom reading the rest. I think whoever proof read this book hated her.

Sequel to Hello Gorgeous. Again, the writer's style is a bit frenetic for me, but all in all it was a quick read and a cute story.

This wasn't as good as one of the Betsy books, but I still enjoyed the story regardless. It's silliness and humor is great for fans of the author.
