Sweet Southern Betrayal by Robin Covington is a smoldering, sensual, sizzling read, and when the reader isn’t fanning herself from overheating, she will laugh her butt off over one-liners like “Elvis was wearing a diaper.”Ms. Covington’s mix of locals, from DC to Virginia to Vegas, and her mix of characters, from a mob boss to an attorney, to a show girl, keeps readers engaged in the suspenseful soup of the plot.The dialogue and writing are fast-paced and witty. If you enjoy lots of sexual tension mixed with humor in your reads, Ms. Covington doesn’t disappoint with lines like, “Eyes up, Frank. The girls are awesome, but the last time I checked they don’t talk.” Ms. Covington knows how to tell a story and how to keep her readers engaged.The story is hot and the language is course where it needs to be (it has to be with the kinds of characters in it), so if you’re looking for sweet, Southern and tame, you’ll need to readjust your expectations. Sweet Southern Betrayal is more like Hot Vegas Betrayal. It entertains from beginning to end. It is definitely a must read on your H.O.T. list! (4 1/2 Stars rounded to 5 Stars) Awesome!
