Secrets of a Shoe Addict

What Goodreads Has To Say: Abbey Walsh never wanted anyone to find out about her shady past. After all, she's the wife of a minister now, living an exemplary life. That is, until someone shows up from her past with blackmail in mind...

Tiffany Vanderslice Dreyer never dreamed that she'd find herself up to her new designer sunglasses in credit card debt from one mad moment of a shopping spree. She's an upstanding wife and mother with the perfect marriage...right?

Loreen Murphy hadn't meant to hire a male prostitute in Las Vegas. It was all just a big, stupid, and expensive misunderstanding...

Abbey, Tiffany, and Loren are each in need of thousands of dollars and fast. Tiffany's sister, Sandra, has the perfect idea. It's fast, it's easy, it's legal, and it's the secret that kept her shoe addiction alive. It's the perfect plan...

In this deliciously sassy novel, three very different women bond when they find themselves in more than one kind of trouble. It's the story of how sometimes you have a secret that can get you in- and out- of dire straits. It's about romance, friendship, kids, revenge, affairs, and most of all, a love of the well- heeled things in life.

What I Have To Say: I wish I had picked this book up much sooner than I did! (I have to thank goodreads for introducing it to me - I don't know if I would have found it on my own.) I must say that the book was nothing what I thought it was going to be. I had expected that it was going to be about buying and selling shoes on Ebay or something. Oh, how wrong I was.

I'm not sure I want to read the first one (this is the 2nd in the series) because if I don't like it as much as I liked this one, I don't want to be left feeling disappointed. This book has some very explicit language in it, but it's done, in what I thought, was a tactful way. And the author doesn't start to use this colorful language until well after you discover that, to pay off their debts, they're going to become sex phone operators. 

This book left me laughing out loud and page turning. I stayed up so late last night to finish it, only for Steve to come home and find me fallen asleep with the book still open and the light still on ... with 15 pages left!

The book cover is adorable, under the jacket. A book cover full of shoes, you can't go wrong! (Well, if you're me you can't go wrong seeing that I adore shoes so much.)

Rating: 4.5 stars
