Recommendation

The first two Redhead books were some of the first I read in the modern-day romance and smut world. Admittedly, I wasn’t sure how “humor” and “smut” were going to marry well in a book, but of course, I read them and loved them with the heat of 1000 suns. It’s been a while since I’ve visited Grace and Jack, and I was super excited to get to read how their story would continue. Grace and Jack and their friends are some of the most lovable, funniest characters I’ve read, and I wanted only good things for them. They have their romance and sexy times, they grow together, and their relationship is tested. The Redhead Plays Her Hand is a good ending to a great series and a must-read for those of us who love Gracie and George![December 2013]

Publisher synopsis

Grace’s star is on the rise with a new TV series, but then the director asks her to lose fifteen pounds. When she goes public with her struggles with weight, she suddenly develops a huge fan club of people who are happy to see a curvy actress speak up, and she becomes a flashpoint in society’s ongoing conversation about what’s beautiful and what Hollywood’s responsibility is to portray women of all shapes and sizes.

Meanwhile, Jack is voted the Sexiest Man Alive and becomes a little too enamored with the star lifestyle. But while he can have anything he wants, he can’t have the one thing he really needs: a public relationship with Grace, which his manager says will hurt his career. When Jack begins to spiral downward into parties, booze, and Hollywood brat behavior, it’s time for Grace to set him straight—and maybe dare to walk the red carpet together, hand in hand.
