“It’s a new show, Quirks and Kinks. We’ve already selected a male reenactment actor to be your co-host, so you're the last piece of the puzzle. There’s some seriously f@$%ed up sh*t out there that people are into, and the two of you are going to be the face of it.”

“I’m going to be the face of people’s freakish fetishes?” I asked disbelievingly.

Larry shrugged his nonchalance, shoving it directly down the throat of my panic. “Half of it.”

That conversation was the beginning of more than a show. 

It was the beginning of mystery, friendship, and love, and the outcome of mixing all three together with two unsuspecting victims.

Easie Reynolds and Anderson Evans were drawn to the same, simple thing—each other.

But, sometimes, undeniable chemistry isn’t enough. After all, how easy is it to get to know someone when they’re constantly pretending to be someone else?


Together they have fun banter, a definite push and pull, and serious sexual tension and chemistry. They add excitement to each other's life. But he also tends to be a calming influence on her while she pushes him to be more spontaneous. But communication is not their strong point and their issues cannot stay hidden forever. It is hard to build a solid relationship when they have a hard time really opening up and showing their vulnerabilities.

Will they not only ruin their chance at a real relationship but also their jobs too?

The side characters of her sassy sister Ashley, grumpy agent Larry, understanding Director Howie and his best friend Tammy round out the cast of crazy and interesting characters. They add even more humor, support, and drama to the story.  There is also an antagonist that really annoyed me.
This book had a lot of verbal sparring and off beat humor. At some times the pacing was almost frantically funny. But it also was layered with some surprising emotional issues and secrets that gave it more depth. It was told in both Easie and Anderson's points of views but in different sections. I was so happy to get to Anderson's voice when he joined in. The characters were likable even when they could be frustrating and I wanted to smack sense into them. They were complex and had an interesting dynamic between them. This was definitely unique, entertaining, and fun while also sharing some valuable lessons about living life, laughing, loving, and being true to yourself. 
I am looking forward to the next book about her sister Ashley. She is the sweeter and more socially appropriate sister, but she has her own spunk as well. Here story was teased at in this one.



Easie Reynolds is a struggling actress with the added stress of having her sister as her manager. If Easie doesn’t have work, her sister doesn’t get paid either. When he least favorite producer calls with a re-enactment role, Easie doesn’t look the gift horse in the mouth (too long) and takes the role on the new Quirks & Kinks reality show.

Anderson Evans is also looking for his big break. Waiting tables in the meantime, the chemistry that crackles between him and Easie is palpable. I love his reaction to her prickly exterior, especially during their initial meeting. The more we see of him, the more I liked him for more than just those surface characteristics.

The characters themselves had the same mix of humor and depth found in the book as a whole. Anderson is almost comically busy, but as he drops hints to readers, it turns out there is a pretty serious reason for his full calendar. Easie uses anger and sarcasm as a shield, but some of the things that come out of her mouth are truly hilarious. Even the side characters have hidden sides to them, things they only share with select people.
