Saving from Monkeys
I had known the guy on the bed, AKA Elliot Sinclair, since I was 10 and, in the subsequent decade or so, I'd felt absolutely no compulsion to get naked with him.
Although I’d basically grown up as his maid, with all of the trashy romance connotations that entailed, we'd never even considered a class-defying romp. So what could possibly have happened last night to change that? I prodded my sozzled mind for an answer, but none was forthcoming.
Rox has woken up with the hangover to end all hangovers to find herself sharing a bed with her ex-employer’s obnoxious son, Elliot. Try as she might, she can’t remember what happened the night before to lead to such extraordinary circumstances, and Elliot is being far from helpful…

About the author
Jessie L. Star
9 books140 followersWhilst digging through her childhood scribblings, Jessie L. Star discovered a thrilling saga by her six year old self entitled 'Jessie has Lost her Sock'. This sweeping epic spanned all four corners of her childhood house in outback South Australia as the sock was hunted down (spoiler, it was in Jessie's bed all along). Many years later and the urge to write is still going strong, although lost socks have been replaced with a raft of characters destined to snark and banter at each other until, ultimately, falling in love.
Jessie studied Business at Uni where she primarily learnt that writing and talking were very much her thing and that dealing with numbers was very much not.

Wasn’t as good as I thought it would be.
I didn’t like Rox that much and Eliot was no more than an O.K guy. The story wasn’t that interesting and I think it didn’t lived up to the expectations.

Have read this book so many times! Such a fun and engaging read and live Jessie L Star’s writing style and plot line! Definitely recommend. So sad I can’t get a hard copy of this book for my shelf!

I loved this, just as I've loved all of Jessie L. Star's other stories.
The mysterious aspect is gripping and results in a lot of fun. A really enjoyable book.

Favourite author by far. Her books are iconically Australian and very well written.
