A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: PaulineMichael
Summer Devon dishes up a fun and feisty unbelievable catastrophic comedy. Even as I was reading I couldn’t believe what was happening. It seemed too fantastical to be plausible but so very believable and even more enjoyable. As a woman who is attracted to bad boys myself I understand completely how Janey feels about her usual type. I love that good-guy Topher has enough of a reckless streak to keep her attracted. Rachel is a wonderful supporting character and I love that she wasn’t portrayed as a typical surly teen. She has a delightful personality and I enjoyed every scene she was in. The bad guy could have so easily been a clichéd, cardboard character yet his quirks took him from the everyday baddie to a fascinating hoodlum whose foibles kept me smirking. I love how each character had their own peculiarities taking them from the ordinary to the extraordinarily fascinating. I’m looking forward to seeing what else this author has to offer as I would enjoy seeing some Topher’s clan get their very own adventure.

Book Blurb for Unnatural Calamities
She has a deft hand with banana flambé…and a touch that sets his body on fire. Janey knows all too well she looks a wreck. What hard-working chef wouldn’t, operating on three hours of sleep? Stuck in a dull Connecticut town, taking care of her beloved niece, Rachel, Janey spends her days looking for a job and her nights working high-end catering gigs. Just her luck, she runs into Mr. Perfect two days past her designated laundry day. And she’s just found out her niece is passing her off as “Mom” to avoid the embarrassment of admitting her real mother, Janey’s identical twin, is serving time. Despite Janey’s questionable fashion sense and the juicy gossip about her checkered past, venture capitalist Christopher Dunham finds himself drawn to her spark. And warmed by her obvious affection for Rachel, so like what he feels for his own daughter. When sexy, way-out-of-her-league Toph offers her a business loan, Janey can’t believe her long string of bad luck with bad boys has come to an end. At least, until a blast from her sister’s shady past turns up the heat on their attraction. And sets off a chain of events that could snuff out the flame just as their love starts to come to a boil… Warning: A comedy of errors, mistaken identity, poor girl meets rich guy, kidnapping at gunpoint, and hot handcuffed sex in a hotel bathtub—and that’s all before lunch.
