Drea Sanford wants her relationship with Cam Hardy to
remain secret. They have been friends with benefits for a
few months, but when he kisses her publicly at a friend's
backyard BBQ, she walks. Cam is usually the one who
breaks off relationships; he's a loner in every way. Drea
is a very private person, and she has very good reasons.
She's a make-up artist to the rich and powerful, one of
them first-class bitch Natasha Orton, who plans to out
her cheating husband that same evening. Drea is at Mrs.
Horton's home to do the socialite's make-up for an event,
and moments after Drea is done with prettying up the
aging beauty, Natasha drops dead in front of Drea.
MAKE ME UP is the third instalment in Avery Flynn's
superb Killer Style series, and if This
Year's Black was brilliant, MAKE ME UP is simply
genius! Ms. Flynn is known for writing splendid female
characters, and in my opinion, Drea Sanford surpasses all
her previous heroines; Cam is pretty wonderful as well.
MAKE ME UP is set in the Maltese Security world where Cam
is an investigator, and while some characters from the
past books are featured in small roles, anyone can enjoy
MAKE ME UP. The lead characters' backgrounds stories are
so fascinating, I will not even mention one word so as
not to spoil anyone's reading pleasure. Drea and Cam are
both engaging, strong, independent people, and quite
possibly my favourite couple ever. They have such
explosive chemistry that I dare hope for at least a
novella in the future where they would be featured, if
not more!
MAKE ME UP is a terrific suspense, which moves along as
breezily and speedily as Cam's motorcycle, there are
exciting plot twists, no road bumps; the romance builds
up realistically, and there are sizzling sexy moments
that threaten to melt your e-reader. MAKE ME UP is such
an exciting book that it is almost impossible to stop
reading, as it can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.
Avery Flynn proves again that she has the magic touch:
MAKE ME UP is a fantastic book on all counts!
Former special ops-turned private-investigator Cam Hardy
leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever he goes. He's all
charm and sex appeal, and who can blame him for putting it
to good use? Besides, it works damn well on the stunning and
tough-as-nails makeup artist Drea Sanford. Only this time,
Cam may be in over his head...
Drea is trying to keep her naughty affair with Cam a secret.
After all, he's Harbor City's version of a Casanova...if
Casanova had a motorcycle. When Cam makes their hot little
liaison known to the public, however, Drea vows never to
have sex with him again. Then one of her clients turns up
dead. Now Drea is suspect number one—and she needs Cam's
help. But sleeping with him is one thing...trusting him is
quite another.
