The Client: A Playing Dirty Novel (Playing Dirty #1) by Pamela DuMond - Starting February 10, 2018

[Christine]

A new steamy standalone Romantic Comedy from USA Today bestselling author Pamela DuMond.

Charlotte: I was an assistant at a Matchmaking Agency living on Insta-Ramen, hope, and dreams. How was it possible I that I made a love match that resulted in the society marriage of the year? Now I attended the wedding reception, basking in fine Champagne and decadent elegance.

Joe: As heir to the Delacroix dynasty, I avoided society affairs like the plague. I only hit the reception to drop off a bottle of Scotch. I didn’t plan on colliding with the sexy, pretty woman with the pouty lips. Certainly, didn’t intend to spill liquor all over her dress.

Charlotte: What kind of jerk… I glared up at the tuxedo-clad brick wall of a man holding the serving tray, and went weak in the knees. This jerk was the most smoking hot waiter I’d ever seen.

Joe: I was an honorable man, always cleaned up my messes. But every press of the napkin against Charlotte’s gown filled my brain with filthy, dirty fantasies.

Charlotte: Hot Waiter was practically feeling me up in the middle of the ballroom. Worse? I was enjoying it. Hold the door. Wait just one minute – he’s my new CLIENT? Fine, I’d work with the gorgeous jerk. But I don’t care how hot he was – I would Never. Ever. Sleep with him.

Joe: My grandmother hired Charlotte, Ms. Pouty Lips to be my Matchmaker? I was totally going to sleep with her.

GAME ON…

~~ A Second Chance Romance. ~~

Started.
(view spoiler)[ I'm liking Charlotte so far. She's an interesting and hardworking character. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Charlotte and Zoey's first interaction with Joe sounds similar. Is it meant to happen? I mean the author could've tried harder setting a distinct characterization. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I don't really like these flashbacks of Joe. I don't like Zoey. I just don't like their scene. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ I like their fight for dominance even if they were both carried away by lust. And I think that's why I can't stomach to like Zoey. I like Charlotte already. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Chapter 17-20
(view spoiler)[ THEIR COMBO IS SO HOT! and funny! (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

(view spoiler)[Char lands her boobs directly in the hot waiter's hand and m liking the way he is calling her Cupcake hmmmm.... Nice 😉😉😉 (hide spoiler)]

Ikr! I like that it didn't start with something boring. It went straight to the point of romance. xD

[Christine]

Chapter 32
(view spoiler)[ exboyfriend alert! I can't wait for Joe and Ryan to meet. Give me some juicy parts and let Ryan see what he lost. (inserts evil laughter) (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Chapter 7 done (view spoiler)[I really liked the tug between Char n Joe and all those steamy imaginations about each other surely gonna drive them crazy. Happy to see such a hard working gal. So many funny dialogs are exchanged but could not really muster a laugh on everyone from me. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14 done (view spoiler)[Why this story is going back to 3 years ago or 1.5 yrs ago? Why do i foresee that Char and Joe both had badly broken hearts?

But I must say the oldies are so much fun - M glad that Char has ran into them.

But that Brunette thing went wrong. Of course they are not dating n all but still you know - that tug towards each other is causing this Jealousy!!! Poor Char :( (hide spoiler)]

Finished
I'm sorry Monika. I went ahead. I can't stop myself from reading whenever I have nothing to do. xD


(view spoiler)[Conclusion: I have to give four stars for the funny dialogue. It just needs improvement on its plot and should give impactful messages for it to leave a mark to the readers. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21 done (view spoiler)[How Char could forgive that asshole after he hit her. And then ended up putting a gun on her - he is a nerd something seriously wrong about him.

I don't want Char to look for a match for Joe. I just them to see each other. Why is she doing that. But M excited to see Joe trying to get to know her.

I hope this Ass Ryan does not come into picture anytime in future as he is trying to get in touch with her again n again. (hide spoiler)]
