Just Add Spice – Carol E. Wyer (Safkhet Soul)

What they say:

‘Escape from reality comes in patent-leather Prada kneeboots

Dawn Ellis needs to escape from her painfully dull existence. Her unemployed husband spends all day complaining about life, moping around, or fixing lawnmowers on her kitchen table. The local writing class proves to be an adequate distraction with its eccentric collection of wannabe authors and, of course, the enigmatic Jason, who soon shows a romantic interest in her.

Dawn pours her inner frustrations into her first novel about the extraordinary exploits of Cinnamon Knight, an avenging angel — a woman who doesn’t believe in following the rules. Cinnamon is ruthless and wanton, inflicting suffering on any man who warrants it. Little does Dawn realise that soon the line between reality and fiction will blur. Her own life will be transformed, and those close to her will pay the price. Find out what happens in Just Add Spice by best-selling author Carol E Wyer.’
 

What I Say:

I was asked to review this book as part of a blog tour organised by the lovely Charlotte from BestChicklit.com and I am really glad that I agreed. This is the 1st book of Carol E Wyer's I have read but it won't be the last.

Dawn is a middle aged bored housewife who has decided to write a book, she goes along to a book club to help with her writing, she meets a wealth of interesting characters, especially the handsome, hot Jason, the book follows her path along writing the book.  There is also a little bit of spice along the way, I for one will not be able to look at a lollipop the same again.  A good mixture of spice and romance.

The author switches between Dawn's story and that of Cinnamon her fictional character, this was really well worked and not confusing at all, for the character it was a voyage of discovery.  Raising the questions we all ask sometimes.  Are we all happy with our lives? Do we really want to see what is in front of our face? Are we bored and frustrated? 

It is a thought provoking read and thoroughly enjoyable.  This isn't the kind of book I would usually pick to read but I really did enjoy it.

I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
