Fashionista Sylvie Bissette, unbeknownst to most of the world, runs a snarky fashion blog called High Heeled Wonder. Her parents are influential in the fashion business, and Sylvie didn’t want her snark to reflect badly on them or anyone to think she got her blog where it was because of who her fathers are. Originally she did a group blog with two other women, but her portion was the one that took off.Unfortunately, Sylvie starts getting hate mail that’s a little more than your typical internet trolling. When it escalates, her dads hire a security expert to protect her without telling Sophie who he is. Little do Sylvie or her dads know that Tony Falcone has his own reasons for wanting to find out more about what goes on in the bowels of their corporation.When someone tries to hurt Sylvie physically, Tony begins masquerading as her rebound boyfriend from when she was just jilted at the altar, basically, by another guy in the fashion industry. Once they start trying to track down who’d want to hurt Sylvie and Tony tries to secretly find out information about his own personal vengeance quest, they find that they’re very attracted to one another as well.With a witty voice and enjoyable contrast between her protagonists, Flynn’s HIGH HEELED WONDER is a wacky, adventurous romp, introducing readers to both Sylvie’s version of the fashion world and Tony’s version of a security team. The worldbuilding is never an overload, and humor is paramount in every chapter. Sylvie likes creature comforts and couture but never comes across as a Paris Hilton/Kardashian type. She has too much self-awareness for that.Recommended for fans of romantic comedy, chick lit and damsels in “this dress”.
