This Perfect Kiss by Christie Ridgeway is just a fun read. Set in Hollywood it pits sexy and rich Rory Kincaid – stick in the mud and running for senator – against curvaceous and free-spirited Jilly Skye, owner of a vintage clothes store. And the sparks they fly!
Rory’s family is old-time Hollywood, actors and bad reputations abound. Rory’s trying to bring respectability to the family name, but…things keep happening. Funny things. Things that make you snort milk out your nose. =)
Jilly’s a hoot, running around in her vintage clothes, trying to avoid Rory’s seductive gaze, somehow they manage to get engaged. OOps. And then there’s the web cam pictures. And then…
There’s tons of fun here, lots of great characters and Rory’s four year old Aunt Iris tops it all off. Fun read, had a good time with the story, and as always love Christie Ridgway!

How to Knit a Wild Bikini by Christie Ridgeway.
Ok, so technically I didn’t buy this book. I won it. Autographed. With it’s own bookmark. And got an email back from the author when I told her I loved loved loved her book. Jealous yet? You should be, especially if you haven’t read it.
I admit, if I’d seen this book in the only bookstore we have in small town Iowa here, I probably wouldn’t have bought it. Why? Because it says KNIT on the cover. This takes me back to a traumatic childhood experience involving Grandma Starkenburg, two needles and potholders. I’ll say no more.
However, since I won this (autographed) book, I will tell you, you must rush out and buy it. Now. This very second. Stop reading, put your shoes on, cover your jammies with a trenchcoat and just go buy it. Or, you know, purchase it on Amazon, give me a 4% feedback and have a damn good time when it arrives. Either way.
Nikki (heroine) is a chef in a restaurant but her bad knee makes it impossible for her work the shifts anymore. She applies for (and gets) a cooking job with Jay Buchanan, playboy extraordinaire.. He’s recently sworn off of women and hires (what he thinks is) a lesbian chef to keep him on the straight and narrow. Set in Malibu, this book is literally a laugh a minute, if not more than that. Hubby came into the bedroom and asked if I needed CPR I was laughing so hard.
Just buy it. You’ll love it. Five tails out of five.
