Some girls dream of being Superwoman. Saving humanity one disaster at a time. Jennifer Hunter is Superwoman, saving women one cheating/lying boyfriend/fiance/husband at a time. Jennifer likes to think of herself as Superwoman using her alias Ashlyn, but I might be more compelled to compare her heroic efforts to The Incredible Hulk. The Hulk gets a really bad wrap, when he is just trying to help out! Even though, these women hire Jennifer to test their husband’s fidelity, I still feel them giving...more
I won a copy of this book a few months ago and now that I read it I am really glad I got it. It is a bit different then anything else I have read and I really enjoyed it. The author also has a style that I really like, I hope that she writes more books since this is the only one she has out currently. I highly suggest this book if you are looking for something that is kind of female empowering, like chick lit but isn't the chick fail and be saved by a man and life is perfect again chick lit, and...more
I don't really know what genre this book fits in. I suppose under romance, though when I think romance, I think of Tami Hoag (some of her stuff), Jude Deveraux, Judith McNaught, Nora Roberts... Oh, well, this is Jessica Brody's first novel, so we'll see. (And I didn't have a category for "chick-lit" so...)

This was an excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and really felt for the main character. The basis of the book was intriguing to me, and I felt as though the way it was written stayed true to the main premise. While occasionally, the author repeated certain details which was completely unnecessary, it wasn't enough to become irritating. Overall, I think this is one of the better books I have read in awhile and would highly recommend it.
I really like this story, but it leaves you with an unpleasant taste in your mouth at the same time. You've got a woman, who is hired by distressed housewives/girlfriends, to see if their spouse is cheating on them. She doesn't have sex with them, but it leads there and if they have the go ahead, then she knows that they are cheating. The one thing I never understood was how the wive's involvement was kept a secret. Her little black card that she leaves pretty much tells the man that his wife/gi...more
I really enjoyed this book, as I knew I probably would. The subject was so unique, and I knew there was so much the author could do with it.
It's about a woman who, as a child, saw her father cheat on her mother. After never being able to forgive him AND keeping his secret, she has a very judgmental outlook on men. So, to combat their cheating tendencies, she starts her own business: as a fidelity inspector. She is hired by women (usually very well-off women) to test their husbands for the inten...more

I've been dying to read this book for what seems like forever. Since, for one, it has an amazing book trailer, one of the best ever, and for two it has an interesting premise. So, when I got the chance to read it on my past vacation, I was so excited. And as it turns out, I had every right to be excited. Since, The Fidelity Files is one awesome debut book!
In The Fidelity Files you get a glimpse into the complicated world of Jennifer Hunter (code name: Ashlyn). You see, Jennifer is a secret "fid...more

Well, the storyline was somewhat interesting, but the writing itself left something to be desired. There were just a lot of things that bugged me about this book -- number one being the incessant number of details that were crammed into it. For example, you read about the number of cellphones the main character has AND the explanation for why she has two phones at least a dozen times. Yes, we get it. One's a business phone, one is personal. I'm not an idiot.
And why is she so worried about her f...more

Damaged girl, damaged men, damaged parents - every character pretty much can be described as damaged, but it's intriguing how they all wind up fixing or at least beginning to fix themselves. There are some random things that were somewhat jarring - traces of 'magic ex machina' and a somewhat unbelievable assignment, but overall, gleefully entertaining.
Excellent read! I can't believe I finished it in 1 day. Very interesting and some parts preditable a little, but still hard for me to quit reading!
"If you can't drink it and still manage to stay faithful to your wife at home, then you either shouldn't be drinking it or you shouldn't have a wide at home." love it!
Can't wait for the next book to arrive. I ordered all Jessica's book in one time and want to read them in order of the way she wrote them, so need to wait for the mail haha!

I absolutely loved this book. I was somewhat concerned when the book started immediately with a fidelity inspection, and based on its size, I thought "What content will this book have?" But I was pleasantly surprised when there was a new twist at every corner and a great new inspection every other chapter. Jessica Brody is an excellent writer with tons of creativity! Highly recommended!!!
Easy, fun read. I read this whole book on my honeymoon, it did not take long. I really liked the story line, it is about a woman who is hired by other women to find out if their husbands are cheating. Humor and romance, my two favorite things are staples of this book and I really enjoyed it.

just finish reading the first two chapters, and decide this book--The Fidelity Files--is definitely worthy to be recommended. And as its cover reads, "how far will you go to find out the truth?" well, the only thing I am certain about in a relationship is: once you lose your interest in knowing the truth you lose your love for that person as well.
I won this book on FreeBook Friday,( that Jessica Brody started !) and I really liked it a lot, I am looking forward to reading Love Under Cover after reading this one. It's a very unique story and I highly recommend it.
Quite a nice story of the honey-trap do-it -yourself detective.
Very hard to put down. Quick and easy read. And it's impossible to not fall in love with the main character. Loved it.
A clever idea executed in a charming way.
Not nearly as good as the first one.
good romantic escapist read.

Not good - finished it but...
wtf this plot LOL
I couldn't put this book down. Author Jessica Brody does an amazing job writing as the book is so well-written that I felt I was in Jennifer's mind and could understand why she was sacrificing living her own life to help others. The Fidelity Files was highly entertaining and full of unexpected twists and turns that it had my full attention and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. This book is nothing like I've ever read before and is chick-lit at its finest! I recommend it! :)

This book really makes you think. You know....not all guys are scumbags. BUT, the thought of a woman going out to uncover these jerks is kinda cool. Even if it became a big business....wouldn't the thought always be in the back of someone's mind and if they were tempted to cheat, they might think twice? I think so.....
Good book. I really liked it and I read it in 2 days. I couldn't put it down. :)

Excellent book. There are A LOT of details so be prepared for this to take some time to read but its very interesting, especially if you've ever been cheated on!!! Excellent story. I loved it because it was soooo "out there." I saw a few things coming but I couldn't stop reading! It was a very addicting one!
Excellent read. Asks the question of what would you do if you could find out if your husband, boyfriend, or fiance would cheat on you. How would you use this information? Can a woman who does this for a living ever find love? For the answers to these questions and more, read this book.

After graduating from Smith College in 2001 where she double majored in Economics and French and minored in Japanese, Jessica later went on to work for MGM Studios as a Manager...more

“Car pour dire la vérité, je n'étais pas une super-héroïne. Je ne savais pas voler. J'étais incapable de tisser des toiles sophistiquées pour grimper aux murs. Je ne pouvais pas enjamber d'un bond des gratte-ciel. Je n'étais qu'une fille ordinaire qui essayait de changer un tant soit peu l'ordre des choses.”
