For me Lingerie For Felons felt more like chick lit than romance. Basically the book follows Lola, a passionate woman who has strong beliefs, a quick temper, and woe to however crosses her path.To me a lot of Lola's problems stemmed from drinking, not that she was an alcoholic or anything, she just seemed to get into trouble when she drank. She meets Wayne in a subway while drunk, he's her total opposite and in this case opposites attract. Even though she slaps the title Mister Wrong on him, we can all see they are perfect for one another. Thankfully he keeps popping up in the book, even though Lola won't admit how he makes her feel. For a chick with strong convictions, she's a big coward when it comes to her feelings.I really wasn't crazy about the format of the book how it jumped from present to past. Granted it worked to move the book along, I just didn't like the way it flowed. Personally I think Lola's family made the book. They were eccentric, loyal, and loving in their own unique way. I have to admit I totally saw where the end was going, but the twist was still really good. Over all a decent read, with quite a few funny situations.How I got it: Received a copy via NetGalley from the author
