I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. There’s a lot of superfluous details and side characters to keep straight. I did like the authors writing style as you did quickly become a fly on the wall inside a tight-knit group of old friends who are uniquely intertwined. The thing I disliked most about this book was I kept waiting for something (anything really) to happen. When something did finally happen it was done so quickly I was even more let down.

Lady Killer really wasn't for me. I didn't enjoy the writing style. There wasn't much action, and when there was, it was very anticlimactic, and the sex scenes had me cringing. Can we ban the word "pecker" from ever being used in sex scenes please?

I would give Lady Killer a 1.5 star rating, but half stars isn't an option, so I have rounded up to 2 star.

Thank you to Main Street Rag Publishers and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sex, lies and lots of back and forth - what I got was not quite what I was expecting. The premise is interesting, but the execution is... not good. Lots of very wooden dialogue, strange jumps in the plot line, characters that are anything but fleshed out, and writing that reads like a teenager's angsty diary - including the requisite vocabulary choices. Sorry, this was not for me.

I am going with 4 stars since there isn't a 3.5. It is a fast paced easy read. I was so caught up in it I was at 90% before I realized it was near the end! Difficult to describe this book. The characters are a group of 'yuppies' who have been friends from their teen years to middle age. Some single, some married, some divorced and all remain right up in the middle of each other's business. There are several very descriptive sex scenes with a little more detail than I care to read but found it interesting that the sex was described from the male viewpoint as well as the female. Many lies, deceit, anger, abuse, violence, adultry, and proof that all actions have consequences and that what goes around comes around, you reap what you sow, or do you call it karma! Overall a good read.

From the beginning of Lady Killer there is tension in the air. It feels as though something bad is going to happen and, eventually, it does. The characters have known each other for years. The relationships have often changed over time. Some have even become dangerous. Even so, the bonds remain. The characters are well drawn and the author vividly brings them to life. The story is fast paced and addresses some serious issues including spousal abuse and infidelity. The novel is well worth reading.

I read this book expecting something to happen. Indeed, a lot happened. But overall, this book is a disappointment. Perhaps it’s just not my cup of tea.

Mitch is the quintessential lady's man after his divorce. He has remained friends with his group from college and the ladies all have their eyes on him. This book reminded me of Fatal Attraction, but for desperate housewives with an agenda and Mitch on their mind. I thought the story was well written and had good mixtures of mystery and deceit. This is the first I have read from this author and found this book to be decent. Thanks for the ARC, Net Galley.

This book had me cringing at several points. Firstly, the regular use of the word, "Pecker" had me wanting to scream. The story was completely unbelievable, while still being predictable too. The way the story was written was not pleasant to read. "She did this, she did that, he said this" - It was like reading a teenager's diary. Not for me, I'm afraid.

Mitch Lovett is a cad. He loves women but hates himself, mostly because he can't keep it in his pants or truly commit to one woman, which is why he's divorced. In spite of his divorce, Mitch has stayed in touch with all of his old college friends, and, in true Mitch fashion, decides to sleep with not one but two of his ex-wife's old college friends. But not all women just walk away when they thwarted and Mitch fails to recognize the peril. Good, twisty tale of domestic mischief.

I received this book from #Netgalley for a honest review. This was a book that was different then what I read. But it caught my eye so I read and enjoyed this novel. It starts with a group of friends since college. Reading the book was like desperate house wife the ending blows you away didn't see it coming. I would recommend this book to others.
