Review: Audition (Southern Belles #1) by Amanda Heartley

---

Fun and exciting... Dark and deceptive...

Annie
So, I'm a small-town girl, but I can still dream big.
Maybe I'm naive, but I'm in the audition of a lifetime.
One that could launch my acting career into stardom.
If I can navigate the director's couch.

But sex and starlets are what drive men like Vicktor Rossen.
He’ll say and do anything to get what he wants.
Like so many other women, I saw it, and now I'm out for revenge.
And my gay best friend, Daveed knows exactly what to do.

But my world is shattered when a phone call from home changes everything...

This novella was ok. While I was reading it I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but in the end I did.

One of my issues with this was the use of the word "snatch". Might just be my issue but I hate that word. I can understand if a guy uses it, but I just can't see any woman referring to her lady bits as her snatch.  It just put me off.  Luckily, I only saw it a few times.

I spent most of this story either being pissed at Vic for being such a dick or being pissed at Annie for being so stupid.

Although there was some sex in this, I would not consider this erotic.  The sex was off-putting because of the situation surrounding it.

This books redemption came in the form of the ending.  It was great.  I didn't expect that at all.  My jaw dropped and I was laughing my ass off at the image I had conjured in my mind.  And I have to admit it felt good.  Payback is a bitch.

If you're looking for romance or a HEA, this isn't it.  If you want something that will probably piss you off and then make you laugh, then here you go.

And I am tempted to read the next one in this series.  If I do, I'll be crossing my fingers that I will not see the word snatch.
