Galley provided for review by author/publisher via Bewitching Book Tours. This review is adapted from that. No remuneration was exchanged and all opinions presented herein are my own except as notedInternational Intrigue meets down to earth laughs and designer clothes!This madcap romp is about a woman who doesn’t seem to take herself very seriously, but who is actually bright, funny, and apparently a looker. Abby reminds me of Reese Witherspoon’s character, Elle, in LEGALLY BLONDE.Sax’s voice here is light, maybe with the tone of “chick-lit.” Its strength lies in how she contrasts danger  with incongruous thoughts and behavior: The dangerous and the ridiculous. But, she inserts enough seriousness to avoid farce. It makes for a very entertaining read, where the outcome is never certain although the foreshadowing is a little obvious, so the story’s direction is apparent.We learn about the characters through Abby, who is the narrator. Often this bugs me, but Abby’s rather odd naivete is sort of charming.The relationship development and hook-ups are amusing and steamy. There are some good comic moments there.In short, the book is worth the read and lots of fun. It gets my Recommended Read rating.
