Synopsis

From Publishers Weekly Berenice McFadden's latest erotic melodrama written as Holliday (following Heat) opens on Tony Landry's taking a woman named Valerie back to his borrowed pad, with his lies coming on quicker than her sighs of pleasure. The novel's focus, however, is ugly duckling Mildred Johnson, a lonely investment banking secretary living in a tiny Crown Heights, Brooklyn, studio. When handsome Tony, $60,000 in debt and looking for a big score, joins the company, she secretly falls for him; when he starts paying attention to her, she can scarcely believe her luck. Holliday, meanwhile, playfully lets readers in on Tony's * laundering scam that depends on his seduction of Mildred, who is a caricature of innocence and suppressed longing. When she catches on, the novel morphs into a makeover-revenge fantasy, one that Holliday writes with barely suppressed glee. The more wild and outlandish things get, the more readers will smile.
