Tongue in Chic a romance novel by Christina Dodd

Tongue in Chic is a great romantic suspense novel with some interesting and humorous characters. Christina Dodd did a great job. I don’t like the title but don’t judge a book by it’s title.

Meadow Svarvas needs money to pay for her mom’s cancer treatments so she breaks into


her grandfather's house to steal a painting. When she is caught, she trips and hits her head and claims that she has amnesia to Devlin Fitzwilliam so he won’t call the police. This is when she finds out that her grandfather has sold the house and everything in it to Devlin. When Devlin is faced with Meadow's claim of amnesia, which he knows to be false, he tells her that she is his wife. Meadow is now stuck with Devlin because of her so called amnesia. She cannot confront Devlin with his lie of marriage because the he will have every right to send her to jail. Meanwhile, living in Devlin’s house as his “wife,” Meadow keeps searching for the painting. Several other people know of the painting and are also looking for it. A series of murder attempts draws Meadow and Devlin together until they finally decide to trust each other with the truth.

I think my favorite kind of novel is a romantic suspense and this one belongs at the top of the charts. This book is filled with southern charm, great suspense, and laughter. The characters are intriguing as they try to figure each other out.

Until next time...
