What a fun book!! The perfect blend of funny (hilarious actually!), sassy, sexy, goofy and swoony! Definitely the a great lighthearted read for after a very emotional book :)
The book had me laughing out loud more times than I could count. Its a fun, romantic story about Grace Sheridan, a 33 year old actress giving Hollywood a second shot, and Jack Hamilton, the 24 year old next hotshot bigtime Hollywood star actor. They meet by chance at a party and have this really flirty, fun connection. She...more

Two words - FREAKING HILARIOUS! What a great book!! I literally laughed my way through the whole thing. The banter is absolute perfection!
So first we have Grace who is a crazy, feisty, witty, 33 year old. And then there is 24 year old Super Sexy Jack Hamilton... celebrity, gorgeous, funny, sensational name, and he's British with a hot accent. Score!
I love these characters, I wish they were real. Hell, I wish I was Grace and could have my very own Jack! They are both foul mouthed, smutty and sarc...more

This was such a fun, sexy, smutty read. I smiled and laughed throughout the story. The banter between Grace and Jack was very cute. Even though Jack is 9 years younger than Grace, I liked that he didn't let that get in the way and the chemistry between them was hot! I will definitely pick up the next book from this author.

What a well written, witty, laugh-out-loud, page turning and SMEXY book. I have seen so many positive reviews of this book and sorry I have waited this long to read it (read a few clunkers in-between.) Thrilled I have the next book to read... yay for me, more of Gracie and George!

WOW!!! I have not laughed this hard through a book since Wallbanger and still I think this one led to more funny tears!!! Grace is an 33-year-old aspiring actress that so happens to be BFFs and roommate to a talent manager, Holly, in LA. During one of Holly's parties Grace meets the "Super Sexy Science Guy", Jack...or George, a 24-year-old actor and before you know it the good times begin to roll. But with every happy ending there is something that causes a stir and in this case it is more than...more

I'm just now finding out that this book was originally Twilight fanfic.
BFD!!! SO what, it has so far been an amusing story and for the life of me I don't see the similarities.
What an entertaining book. I think I may have found a new author.
Grace's quirkiness did wear on me at times, but I laughed out loud more than I was irritated. So it's all good IMO. And I am pretty sure that I am a little in love with Jack. Okay maybe not a little bit but a lot a bit!!

So, I wanted a taste of romance where the main heroine is older than a leading man. I've picked up several books and decided to start with this one because I wanted something with a humor.
I am pretty sure I've got what I wanted and I agree with many good reviews that it is a nice romance.
I think the society is hard pressing this kind of relationships only because they consciously or subconsciously believe that a young male is wasted on an older woman (mostly because of reproduction).

When I first started reading this, I got the sense that I might actually have a four-star on my hands. By the time I got to the end, I was thinking, OK, maybe only three stars. Even giving it three stars, however, seemed wrong somehow. I contemplated reviewing it yesterday (when I finished it), but wasn't even sure what I would rate it, much less what I could possibly write about it. So I semi-read it again. I skimmed through, rereading parts I'd thought were funny, scrutinizing passages that se...more

My review pendulum is going crazy over this book. I know my thoughts are sitting at around a 3.5 star rating but I don't know whether to round up or down! Unidentified Redhead was a fun and sexy read. In fact, it was repeatedly fun and sexy.

What a fun, flirty, fantastic book! When I read Wallbanger by Alice Clayton I knew that I had to check out her other books. She has a great way of blending hearts and flowers romance, hilarity and plenty of sexy times.
When I first read the synopsis and started The Unidentified Redhead I wasn't sure I was going to connect with Grace. Los Angeles, struggling actor... I didn't want her to be a vain wannabe that was too worried about her looks to have any real character. I am so glad to say this is...more

This book had me conflicted. It started off rather well; very funny. I liked the characters and the story plot or at least the concept and where it started out. The cast of secondary characters was nice too. But, it didn’t work all the time for me and in the end, fell very short of the mark.

Alright, I’ll make this quick since there are several books in my to review list I need to get to.
I really enjoyed this one. Alice Clayton has an amusing, highly entertaining writing style.

I LOVE Gracie! For me, she is the epitome of the perfect female! Intelligent, confident, sexy, funny (along with the ability to laugh at herself), sometimes just a bit insecure, great sense of humor, a loyal friend, not afraid to take chances, the list goes on and on. Best of all, she's in her 30's & not some young, just out of college spring chicken! She's been through some hard times & still perseveres! If I could be any female character from a book, Gracie would be the one! (And I swe...more

Grace Sheridan, 33, returns to Los Angeles to make her dream come true. There, she meets Jack, 24, a new cinema promise. Since the beginning Grace and Jack weave a peculiar relationship, based on silly things, good mood, and lots of attraction. Tough 33, nothing in Grace’s personality is “regular”, despite past failures she hasn’t lost a “nuts” quality.

"The Unidentified Redhead", the first in a series by Alice Clayton, the queen of comedic erotica in my book, was a blast to read! I was laughing myself silly in some parts and couldn't help but grin like I was a nutcase in the rest!

Wow, from the first five sentences onwards I knew this is my kind of book.
It has pretty much everything I enjoy in a start-and-don't-put-away-till-you-are-on-the-last-page book:
1. Likable and threedimensional characters, not only the main characters, even (I say even because I read far too many books where even the main characters were cheap cardboard cutouts) the supporting characters had so much texture that I got a feeling who they were as characters.

Ok, so after reading Wallbanger I purchased this and the second for quick reads on my new kindle. They are funny. Really funny. However, I'm sure I'm alone in this... but the Brit is so obviously Robert Pattinson that I had a hard time digesting the story and ALL OF THE SEX. And there is a lot of sex - I'm not joking. Let me be clear though, its not cheesy sex.
It makes sense that the Brit is based on Robert Pattinson being that Alice started writing Twilight FanFic, or so I've read. And while I...more

I could not help but laugh while reading this book. Alice Clayton does it again. I read Wallbanger first before I read this series and I could not contain the laughter throughout that book so when I was suggested to read this series by her I could not say no. The person the Grace is in this book is just wonderful and refreshing. She is bold and does not hold back when she has something to say she says it...and whether or not it’s inappropriate or not does not matter. I believe this just adds to...more
This book was a breath of fresh air compared to a recent string of poorly-written, contemporary romance books that seep with the unoriginality of their virgin meets bad boy plots. Thankfully, Clayton did not follow that overused plot. Clayton's characters seemed to have a realistic and believable lifestyle of single, 30 somethings working and living in L.A. This book started off strong for me. I enjoyed the laid back, friendly banter of the characters (main and supporting). What demoted it from...more
