The Money Shot Books by Anne Dano
Say hello to my alter-ego Anne Dano!
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.
It's the type of book that keeps you turning its pages even though it's time to cook dinner or go to sleep.
What I also love about this series is the seamless writing styles of Misty and Adrienne.

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.

This is going to be a fantastic series.
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.
Adrienne Giordano's talent for comedy keeps bringing me back for more.
Adrienne Giordano hits a home run once again with a fun mystery you can't put down.

Lucie Rizzo is a riot. This fast paced story will keep you turning pages.

I absolutely recommend this novella to everyone-be forewarned, after reading the novella you will go crazy waiting for the full length story of these characters.
Such chemistry and passion.
I thought this was a stellar story – I couldn’t put it down. It’s about Becca learning about trust – broken and gained – as well as learning to open up and accept friendship.
This enjoyable romantic suspense tale is a great look at the machinations involved in the legal world and also provides a heartbreaking perspective on the difficulty of proving one’s innocence. The author does a wonderful job of presenting compelling characters who each are convinced of their version of the truth and the somewhat frightening journey to the answer as complicated by the infamous ‘blue wall’ provides an entertaining escalation of tension.
Living Fast, book 3 of the Steele RidgeSeries delivers in true Giordano style.

Love romance, suspense, and mystery rolled into an awesome read.
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.

. . . another fun and high energy installment of Giordano's Justifiable Cause romantic suspense series. . . Giordano continues to hone her craft and gains momentum in the romantic suspense genre. These books have the same appeal as Julie Garwood's FBI Buchanan series.
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.
Giordano and Evans continue to provide smart characters, excellent dialogue, and a great blend of sex and romance that is not too explicit yet still steams up pages.
...a page turner that is a fresh and unique cozy.
This was my first book by Kelsey Browning, but it definitely won't be the last. I truly couldn't put this down, and no matter which brother gets the next story, I'm definitely reading it. Steele Ridge is going on my automatic buy list!
I can't wait for the second book in this series to see what happens next in their relationship! I loved every minute of this book and am now a big fan of Adrienne Giordano!
The mysterious part of the plot kept me guessing and was easy to lose myself in. The unknown and the fear factor really pushed the plot forward to an unexpected conclusion that I did not see coming! The Rebel has a pace that kept me turning the pages quickly, but at the same time not always wanting the story to end because it was so good! I'd highly recommend The Rebel to any romantic suspense reader.
Hot Series...Hot Men
Ms Giordano has once again capitalized on her gifted writing and expanded upon the Steele brothers' characters to put her own unique spin on the story.
I enjoyed this story so much. It made me laugh out loud, maybe not wise to read it in a public place like I was, it made me sigh, and completely swoon at the end. For all romantic suspense lovers, this is the holiday novella to read! ~ Five spoons!
Protecting Justice is very well paced and kept right on going! So well written, it’s hard to believe there are two different authors writing this together.
“Opposing Forces is a book that is not to be missed and honestly, Hollywood should be knocking on Adrienne Giordano’s door asking to make this one into a movie…it’s that good!"
If you like a feisty heroine that isn't afraid to cross the line to help others in danger, you will love reading the story of Syd.
Giordano's latest provides the perfect melding of romance and mystery. As for the whodunit, some twists and turns keep readers guessing.
I will recommend this book to all my friends!
Exposing Justice was a book I didn't want to end because I loved the characters so much!
A Must Read just about sums it up!
This book was hard to put down. It pulls you in from the beginning and doesn't let go until the end.
A 5 star fantastic debut read.
“A briskly paced, chilling thriller with superbly developed characters.”
