A month or so ago I got the opportunity to join the Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit, a blog-related promotional tour for other women writers. With not having net access, I’ve utterly failed my GCC roll so far, but now, finally, I’ve gotten my act together to promote the first of what will be several GCC tours as a catch-up, and then which will be a once or twice a week thing going on. So, without further ado, may I introduce THE MANOLO MATRIX, by Julie Kenner!
Aspiring actress Jennifer Crane knows all about games — the games girls play to get a guy; the games actresses play to land a part; and the good old game of credit-card roulette. (How else is a girl supposed to afford her shoes?) But she never expected to be playing a game with life-or-death consequences. Unable to successfully score an acting gig, she has, instead, been cast in the role of reluctant bodyguard to a real-life assassin’s target — a dashing FBI agent of all people! — and must embark with him upon a scavenger hunt across Manhattan in search of the ultimate prize: survival. Before this, Jenn’s definition of fighting dirty has been elbowing her way to the front of the line at a Manolo sample sale. Now, if she wants to stay alive, she’s going to have to learn a few new uses for her stilettos. . . and they ain’t pretty.
Fast, flirty, and full of great footwear, The Manolo Matrix is another electrifying adventure in this breakout series for fashionistas who love a perfectly appointed mystery. — from Downtown Press, February 2006
National bestselling author of The Givenchy Code, Julie Kenner reloads for her second novel of high-heeled thrills as another woman gets pulled into a mysterious world of extreme gaming where she must play or die.
EARLY PRAISE FOR THE MANOLO MATRIX:
“Kenner continues her Play.Win.Survive trilogy, whose first installment was The Givenchy Code (2005), with another delightfully clever mix of chick-lit and thriller. Readers who like their suspense novels with a sexy edge and a wicked sense of humor will find Kenner’s latest irresistible.” – Booklist
“This time the stakes are just as high as they were in the previous book, “The Givenchy Code”, and just as exciting. I found myself hooked immediately and did not stop reading until it was finished. (Okay, I admit it. I took one BRIEF break to hit the restroom and make a sandwich.) Author Julie Kenner’s pen must have been smoking as she wrote this suspense filled novel. Fast paced, a bit of romance, and lots of tension! If you enjoyed John Grisham’s Pelican Brief, then you are going to drool over this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” – Huntresss Book Reviews
“This is a Wow! book that is exhilarating, non-stop (hey
