My Famous Frenemy by Piper Rayne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




I have never fell so hard, so fast. Posey is a hot mess. Gavin is running scared. The residents of Sunrise Bay are in for quite a show. My Famous Frenemy is a laugh out loud, irresistible, edge of your heart kind of romance. Piper Rayne does over the top like never before. With a little help from the larger than life personality of Ava Lucas and the sultry, narrative stylings of Nelson Hobbs, crazy in love takes on a whole new meaning. Famous Frenemy is heart music that refuses to be ignored.

Well, this was a quick read. But to be honest, I couldn´t put this book down. It was so good and it made me laugh in several places.

And to my fellow Germans here on Booklikes, who have read the book: Have you wondered as well, if Loriot´s vacuum cleaner salesman is a spy in disguise?

From now on he will be a spy in my mind, forever and always.

Book: Read a book set in Africa or the Caribbean, by an African, Caribbean, or African-American author, with a green, red, or black cover, or with crops of the earth or a native African animal on the cover (Lion, giraffe, cheetah, etc.).

"Fiendish, isn´t it?" the Chief said. "The ingenuity, the simplicity, the devilish imagination of the thing." He removed his black monocle and his baby-blue eye caught the light and made it jig on the wall over the radiator. "See this one here six times the height of a man. Like a gigantic spray. And this - what does this remind you of?"

Hawthorne said unhappily. "A two-way nozzle."

"What´s a two-way nozzle?"

"You sometimes find them with a vacuum cleaner."

"Vacuum cleaner again. Hawthorne, I believe we may be on to something so big that the H-Bomb will become a conventional weapon."

Oh gosh, this chapter made me laugh so hard and this doesn´t happen very often to me while reading a book. I´m really loving this story so far.

After having read "A Spy Among Friends", I´ve really been in the mood for some spy fiction. And since Graham Greene knew the major players of the Philby affair in real life, I thought it would be a good place to start with one of his books.

So I asked BrokenTune for advice and she told me that "Our Man in Havana" would be a good place to start. Plus, it fits one of the 24 tasks.
