Publisher: Avon, Harper Collins

A few Texas society gals are hiding sordid pasts as strippers, pole dancers, call girls, Democrats . . . But socialite Kathleen Connor King’s secret is far, far worse.

The flamboyant oil heiress, philanthropist, shopaholic, and hostess of the city’s most prestigious annual gala, Kathleen King has a skeleton in her closet that, if revealed, will obliterate her good name and cherished social standing: She’s broke!

Her longtime beau, Dylan Grant, is similarly busted, ever since his now-deceased father lost the last of the family’s oil properties to A-List wannabe Bo Harlan in a poker game. So Kat and Dylan have a plan, and with the help of a small cadre of loyal friends and allies, they’re ready to resort to outrageous tactics—not all of them legal—to keep up appearances, win back the lost Grant oil money, elude a psycho Vegas mobster…and solidify their lofty positions among the crème de la crème.

From the acclaimed author of This Is How It Happened (Not a Love Story) and The Men’s Guide to the Women’s Bathroom comes a hilarious tale of love and deception in the world of the Texas oil uppercrust.

Last year, I read and reviewed my first Jo Barrett, This Is How It Happened: Not a Love Story and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I am super excited to read this latest book which comes out next month on March 10th. I’m definitely going to read this one so be sure to look for my review on this one but if you guys enjoy books that are super funny, I’m sure you’ll want to put this author on your radar, she’s pretty good.

This book is available from Avon. You can pre-order it here.
