REVIEW: Behind the Headlines by Lucy King, Joss Wood

Behind the Headlines: Two fun, sexy stories in one! Two very sexy guys are making these socialites headline news!

In The Couple Behind the Headlines by Lucy King, socialite Imogen Christie meets financial hotshot Jack Taylor at an art exhibition and sparks fly. Imogen has had her heart broken before and is not ready for another commitment and then she meets Jack who is a playboy renowned for his short term flings. A match between these two is most likely to be short lived and as they both are not looking for anything long term, its the perfect scenario for them but when their feelings get involved, will their short term fling turn into something more meaningful?

The Couple Behind the Headlines by Lucy King is a well written romance with an amazing chemistry between the characters. Imogen is highly misunderstood in press and has been a through a lot in the relationship department when the book starts. She is not looking for any other relationship after her last debacle but all her rules go out of the window when she meets Jack. I loved their meeting and their amazing chemistry is evident from the start. Jack is the sexy playboy with the smoldering looks. He does not do long term and that’s a fact universally acknowledged but Imogen changes everything. He did not care about what the world thought about him and that is what I loved about him. The paparazzi does not play an important role in the story as the blurb suggests and is very much kept at the sidelines.

Overall, The Couple Behind the Headlines by Lucy King is a light and sexy romance which kept me entertained throughout.

In Wild About the Man by Joss Wood, Nick Sherwood has no time for poor little rich girls. All he wants is to run his luxury game reserve in peace. So socialite Clementine Campbell – a tempestuous redhead with flashes of vulnerability he knows shouldn’t intrigue him – is his guest from hell. For Clementine Copel avoiding the limelight means kicking her stiletto heels on safari with the rugged and enigmatic Nick Sherwood. She doesn’t care how gorgeous the enigmatic Nick is – she wants out! Until he gets under her skin, and dangerously close to her battered heart. Then only one question remains – what will it take to get Nick to lose his cool and finally kiss her properly?

Wild about the Man by Joss Wood was a well written fun and flirty kind of romance. Nick and Clem make an unlikely couple because they don’t have anything in common between them except the sizzling chemistry. I loved how they were both from very different worlds and yet they made it together in the end. Clem’s transformation from a weak stubborn socialite to a strong confident woman was amazing and you can’t stop admiring her from finally taking charge of her life in the end. Nick is a hard working and intense hero who does not take any kind of crap from others. Both he and Clem had secrets of their own and it effected them in the present. The story is set in a lodge in South Africa and the way the author captured the same was amazing.

Overall, Wild about the Man by Joss Wood is a fun romance which does not fail to impress you with its light and cute story-line.
