A thrilling ride with plenty of humor and hot romance to even out the adventure.
For some of you, you may be familiar with Gini Koch’s Katherine “Kitty” Katt/Alien series. An excellent series full of humor, action, adventure and romance. But Gini Koch also publishes in other genre’s and under other pen names as well. Such as, Jemma Chase, G.J. Koch, and Anita Ensal. Besides all of her Alien books, I’ve had the pleasure of reading her PNR, The Night Beat: From the Necropolis Enforcement Files, her space opera, Alliance Rising and now her contemporary romance, Plush Life. Believe me, I have enjoyed them all.
Gini Koch writes larger than life fast paced books with plenty of humor, adventure and action no matter the genre. It’s a good thing her books are rather fast paced and involving because they are also rather weighty. But no matter because I can’t help falling into her stories and find myself rapidly turning the pages.
In Plush Life, you have the story of BFFs since Jr. High, Tommy and Meggie. Now college graduates the two, run an up and coming company called Plush Life. The two have been in love with each other for years but neither has had the chutzpah to admit it to the other. In fact, Meggie is engaged to marry another man purely because he’s acceptable as a substitute for what she really wants.
Then fate steps up to the plate in the form of a business deal to make the two come to the realization of just what their dancing around has potentially cost them. When the two are offered a potentially lucrative contract with the caveat that they have to pass acceptance by a local US marketing firm with rather strong family strictures, life becomes a play act that both would do anything to make real. Becoming a vendor for Family Mart requires that the officers of their firm be married and family oriented. Their solution… pose as a married couple at the all-expense paid retreat they have been required to attend in New Orleans.
One might ask why Meggie wouldn’t just take her current fiance. But one minor peak at the douche canoe and it’s no wonder. Unfortunately, getting her fiance off their backs and out of the way becomes somewhat of a challenge when he decides that Tommy has kidnapped her. When Mark’s obsession and ulterior motives come to light the action and adventure surely takes a turn towards the dangerous side.
Get ready for a thrilling ride with plenty of humor and hot romance to even out the adventure. Expect quirky secondary characters that totally grow on you. And what would a romance in New Orleans be without a touch of voodoo? I wouldn’t mind seeing more of this world Gini Koch has created for Plush Life.
