REVIEW: Bedroom Eyes by Hailey North

Bedroom Eyes by Hailey North: Bedroom Eyes in the first book I’ve had the pleasure of reading from Hailey North and it is definitely a fun read. This book was previously published in 1998, but now has a new cover and I have to say that I adore the new cover. It has a very flirty and sweet feel to it that will definitely have readers taking notice of it.

In Bedroom Eyes we meet Penelope Fields. Penelope is kind of sheltered. Her whole life consisted of becoming a lawyer, in order to please her mom. Her mom was a waitress herself and never wanted that kind of life for her daughter. Penelope is smart, but she is also naïve. She doesn’t understand the effect she has on men and has missed out a lot of experiences. But that’s okay because she has a pretend lover, who goes by the name Raoul.

“Her imaginary lover Raoul might occupy her mind, but he was cold comfort on lonely nights, and a poor escort, indeed, for law firm social functions.”

Penelope doesn’t have to worry about a lack of men for much longer, because she attracts the attention of not one man but two. Only appearances can be deceiving and only of the guys is actually a good guy. The one with bedroom eyes!

Throw in some funny interactions with Mrs. Merlin, a little “magick”, and a little bit of romance and you have yourself a good read that will take you on an entertaining journey.
