The Spice of Life (Audible Audio Edition) Jennifer L Jennings Books
Vanessa Roth is a very succesful woman and the proud owner of an advertising company, and although she has put very hard work into her business, her obsession with it has sadly sucked away every other important aspect of her life, including her marriage. Now, Vanessa has to deal with the fact that she has no husband and no friends other than her niece, who decided to give her a very unexpected and unconventional birthday present. The Spice of Life is the journey of a woman who has to find her way back into enjoying life. She has to learn to take risks and letting go of her uptight self and she actually does that with the help of her niece, her assistant and some burlesque lessons.It is a very sweet story that reminds us how to enjoy the important things in life. It is a fun, light read and I would totally recommend it. Although I have to warn you that there are a few spelling mistakes that even I could notice (English is not my first language), the story is a little predictable, and there wasn't enough dancing as I was expecting. But if you can get pass that I think you would really enjoy it. That is why I give it 3.5 stars.

The Spice of Life (Audible Audio Edition) Jennifer L Jennings Books Reviews
A complimentary copy of this book was sent for me to review on my kindle
A woman at the top of her career who owns her own business, arrives home one night to find that her husband has left her. She is devastated, she starts to come to terms with this by learning a new way of life with the help of her niece, who buys her a course of Burlesque dancing lessons for her birthday! She is horrified by this present as it is not her scene at all. The story goes on to tell us how she copes with all of this, how she learns to loosen up. I found it quite humourous in places especially the tassle swinging and her teacher is something else. The plot works well, it is a gentle story with interesting characters.
I Love, Love, LOVED this book. I received a complimentary copy of the book to review and am so glad I did! It has nothing to do with my review except that I'm glad I received the book. I'm a Christian and sometimes have a hard time finding books to read. Most books have too much foul language and too much sex and the Christian books tend to be a little to predicable and must I say boring? But this book was not bad. A little bit of foul language but not too bad.
I really related to all the characters. The writer made Vanessa someone whom you could relate to and someone you wanted to come out to be a winner. I learned more about Burlesque than I knew before and thought it was an interesting part of the story. It was great seeing Vanessa learn how to appreciate herself more after each lesson. Also each of the characters were very well developed. I especially liked Corey. She brought out many different aspects of him. My only problem with the book was that the ending just ended so quickly. I thought the author just ended it and it should have gone into Corey's new job a little more than just jumping into 6 months late. Bottom line I just wanted more! Great book.
I love this first book In this category by this author. I have bought and read all of her Sarah Woods books (18 in all ) also and can't get enough of this author. Hope that she continues to write a 2nd book in this category. I am not one to read romantic novels but after reading the sample, I decided to buy it and am glad I did. There is no foul language or heavy sexual content or violence in any of her books. I find very few authors who write in her style. Do not see the need for a author to use profanity in a book to get one's point across. Hope she writes more romantic novels as well as more mysteries as I am out of books on this author to read.
What a cast of quirky characters.
First there's Vanessa... who's an up tight, no nonsense kind of business owner of an advertising firm. (Soon to be ex-wife of James, a flailing suspense fiction writer)
Then there's Corey...Vanessa's well dress, well mannered, bi-sexual male assistant who aspires to being a graphic artist.
Then there's Frankie, Corey's female roommate. She's has a very bad attitude, a mouth like a sailor, and dresses in goth like clothing. She works in a sleezy diner, dates losers, also sports many facial piercing.
Then there's Anna...Vanessa much younger, but much wiser niece. Anna is Vanessa's deceased sister's daughter, and they had become very close over the years. Anna is attending nursing school. She also the person that finally got Vanessa to let loose, by buying her Burlesque dancing lessons as her 40th birthday gift.
Then there's Wendy. Vanessa's business lawyer, who she finds out later is also sleeping with her husband. And not only i8s she sleeping with him, she's also pregnant by him, too.
And last but not least is 'Busty Betty'...a carpenter by day, and a Burlesque dancing teacher by night. This woman is a trip and a half!
All these characters are all as different as night and day, but somehow they just worked. This story made me sniffle a few times, but most of the time it had me rolling on the floor with laughter. By the end of this story.....every single character in this story will end up going through their own different kind of transformations, because of a chain reaction of events.. Some events are very traumatic, while others just due to an eye opening realization of not liking the person that they've become.
This book is fun, quirky, and very heart-warming. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.
