Serious Leigh

Publisher's Summary

Oy vey! Shit just got serious in Chicago. The Witches Union has discovered that Leigh Epstein has been dabbling in the dark arts, and now they want to become creative editors for Leigh's paranormal romance, "Four-Bitten Fangtasy", a book about a shape shifting-werewolf-vampire hybrid named Vlad. They definitely have something up their sleeves and they've assigned our young apprentice witch to a mentor named Gertie, who isn't quite up to snuff. Can she fulfill the contract and get FBF done before the deadline? What's in it for the Union anyway? To make matters worse, Leigh's friends and family are still reeling from their last disastrous episode in Accidental Leigh. Will she make her Sister Sarah's lackluster love life even worse, by attempting to fulfill her erotic fantasy from her favorite BDSM/Navy SEAL/Amnesia novel? And yes, it is titled "Bound to Forget". Love is in the air, but so is catastrophe, now that Leigh is also getting some very strong feelings for Hunter, the hunky roofer turned Chicago Police Academy cadet. Find out almost everything, and even learn about a Paranormal Pet Shop, what really sank the Titanic, magic brownies, how the Great Chicago Fire really started, and more in Serious Leigh, Book 2 of the Literal Leigh Romance Diaries by Melanie James.

Very funny!

I did again enjoy this 2nd instalment although the first one is my favourite so far. All the characters are likeable even those who at first seem to resist eventually grow on you. Again there were parts that had me laughing out loud literally and not just a quick ha ha, but a long, LMAO. I am intreagued to find out what will happen next but will wait a bit as I find them expensive for the length. They are very short and should perhaps be bit more economical. Again Hollie Jackson is amazing. Are you sure she's not secretly the author? I ask this because she does the personas so well. I don't think anyone else could do it any better. Good job on both counts, story and narration!
