Kim Gruenenfelder won critical praise and fans around the world with her sexy, wisecracking protagonist Charlize “Charlie” Edwards in her debut novel, A TOTAL WASTE OF MAKEUP. Now Gruenenfelder brings Charlie back in her new novel, MISERY LOVES CABERNET, another entertaining romp through the Hollywood dating scene. It’s the perfect tonic for our troubled times: an escape to a glittering world filled with parties, glamour and romance.
This time out, Charlie finally seems to have it all: a house in a hip L.A. neighborhood, two fabulous best friends who always have her back, and a great (though hectic) job as the personal assistant to Hollywood’s hottest movie star, Drew Stanton. But best of all, Charlie has a newly feathered love nest with Jordan, the sexy photographer she recently started dating. Maybe Charlie’s journal of smart-alecky life advice – which she’s always been better at writing that following – has finally helped put her on the right track.
Unfortunately for Charlie, Drew is wreaking complete havoc on his new movie set, her eccentric family is descending upon L.A. for the upcoming holiday season, and her love life may be back to square one. Jordan has left to work on a film shooting in Paris, where the women are gorgeous, sophisticated, and possibly after her man. And Drew’s handsome new producer, Liam, is an old crush who has reappeared to tug at Charlie’s heartstrings. Charlie’s torn between the misery of waiting for Jordan and the tingly feelings she has for Liam. But there’s nothing misery – or seduction – loves better than a great glass of cabernet.
