Books-On-Tour: Great Sexpectations, Kristen Bailey

It is my pleasure to be on the tour for this hilarious read. Thanks to Bookouture for having me.




Sexing up the plot:

After Josie got dumped by her ex through a note on the fridge, she hasn’t let herself get close to anyone. But when she meets Cameron at a Halloween party, who turns up in the same Ghostbusters costume as her, it’s virtually impossible to stay away.


Cameron, a curly haired video-games designer with dazzling blue eyes, the sexiest dimples and the same encyclopedic knowledge of movies as Josie, seems too good to be true.


And maybe he is… Because there’s one teeny tiny problem as Josie falls madly in love. Cameron has no idea that Josie lives at home with her ex-porn star parents and their dog Dave, or about the minor detail that she works for their sex toy empire. After her ex broke up with her because of the family business, Josie decides to tell a little white lie.


But it’s just a matter of time until the truth comes out. When it does, will Cameron end things, leaving Josie with only Dave the dog for company? And what if she’s not the only one who’s keeping secrets?


So funny it should come with a warning! Don’t read while eating/drinking/in public – embarrassment will ensue. The perfect romantic comedy for anyone whose love life is more extinct than dinosaurs,


Bobs and Books honest review:

Ah Kristen Bailey has smashed it again!

From the first few lines I knew this would be funny and it only got me giggling more and more throughout.


I love how this embraces the sex industry and shows 'normal' people who work these roles. They are clumsy, they are businesswomen, they are empowered!


The romance was a sweet one, although how anyone could fancy anyone dressed as a ghostbuster is slightly surprising.


Some major cringe factor moments and one awkward dinner that'll never make you want to meet the parents ever again.


Throw in a crazy Nan, a strange hotel meeting, and an unforgettable TV appearance and this has the perfect ingredients for a rom com laugh out loud read.


I was shouting "Yes!" so much in agreement with this read that I suspect my neighbours may have even suspected my own Meg Ryan moment. Just good writing. Promise!
