An award-winning talk show host famous for saving marriages puts her own under the spotlight. What she finds in the harsh glare will change everything.
Dr. Rebecca Matthews is the queen of daytime talk. Her fairy-tale marriage, nine Emmys, and twelve years as the top-ranked show prove there’s nobody better at fixing a broken relationship. But when her ratings slip and her biggest sponsor bolts, the network pressures Becca to spice things up. The suits want their money shot. Making matters worse, Becca uncovers a troubling secret about her husband, Ryan, thrusting her into a crisis that threatens not just her marriage, but her show and career.
Never one to shy away from adversity, Becca decides to make her boss happy and repair her marriage on her hit show. As she navigates this uncharted territory, more devastating discoveries come to light, testing her resolve and forcing her to question everything she believes in. Desperate for time and space to recover, Becca retreats to the one place she finds sanctuary: Her beach house. There, she makes a series of discoveries and decisions that will alter the rest of her life.
In this story of redemption and the relentless pursuit of happiness, Becca must learn who she is and what she wants and whether the money shot is worth the cost.

Even if readers don’t like the plot—which they will—they’re going to love the sharp, witty verbal volleyball between Penny and Russell. Giordano offers up a tale that’s part screwball comedy, part film noir, part horror story.
...interesting, suspenseful, and at times funny. I still laugh whenever I picture Sydney flipping off Grey.
I enjoyed this story, with its many levels of deception and secrets, the 'all for one' loyalty in friendships - not to mention the sweet romance!

I have really enjoyed what I have read thus far and am looking forward to the next in the series. I don't like to give plots away so I will not go into detail. But I will say if you like a well written book, with a great plot, this is a book (and series) for you. I have not been disappointed with a single Adrienne Giordano book I had read thus far. I will also add, I am a very fast reader and consume books like cake, which I happen to love, so I have a very large collection of books to judge this one against.
This author shows her gift for writing through the depth and dynamics of her characters.
Another great read by Adrienne Giordano!
Every time I read a book by Adrienne, they seem to get better and better!
It’s been 24 hours since I finished The Money Shot by Anne Dano, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I’m not convinced there will ever be a day where I don’t think about this book, the characters, or the lessons it taught me about being a woman, wife, and mother.
Giordano's latest provides the perfect melding of romance and mystery. As for the whodunit, some twists and turns keep readers guessing.
...wonderfully wacky yet lovable characters to a mystery that takes a lot of whit and hijinks to solve.

The story flows smoothly, is well developed and the characters are realistic and will capture your heart. An awesome Romantic Suspense!
If you only read one book this month, make it Going Hard by Kelsey Browning!

It's the type of book that keeps you turning its pages even though it's time to cook dinner or go to sleep.

The scorching attraction between Jo and Gabe continues in this clever romantic adventure. Still on the trail of a counterfeit fashion mastermind, the cop and the lawyer are enemies one minute and heating things up between the sheets the next. A lot of action happens between the romance and the suspense is high. I read the story straight through in one sitting and now am anxious for the next installment! I may have to go back and reread the first story in the series just to get my fix.
OMG! This story got me from the gitgo!

One of the things [Browning] does so well is develop the interactions between family members based on love and humor. We all know you don't get to pick your family. If it were possible, however, I want one that Kelsey has written.
