Literary Friday: Headhunters


Synopsis according to GoodReads:
"Armed with credit cards, forged documents, and faux jewelry, four New Jersey women head to Monte Carlo posing as four of the richest women in the world. Their plan is to meet Mr. Right (also known as Mr. Rich). The problem is that they've pulled off their scheme so perfectly that they've attracted four charming, elegant men -- who have a very similar plan in mind."



Headhunters could be considered sexist, and it's definitely a story that is more likely to have happened 20 years ago than today. However, it's a comedic romantic romp, complete with mistaken identity, mis-information, and risks taken in the name of hope.

Actually, it's pretty inspiring how these ladies risk everything, in grand over-the-top fashion, with a sort of entrepreneurship flair.

It's a light read, but entertaining and I appreciate the immense amount of detail that is in this book. It made me want to bask in Monte Carlo, myself!

I recommend it for fans of comedic romance, exotic international travel, and anyone needing a quick airplane read.

  1. Sounds like a "fun" read. I think it could apply today for both sexes, because there are so many people trying to be someone other than who they really are -- false needs to have a big fancy car, big homes, etc.

  2. :D This sounds like fun, and that's what we need sometimes.....a fun read. I was going to ask you if you've read Warm Bodies (?) Someone I follow has read it and I thought it might have been you.....it's about a zombie apocalypse, and I think there's also a movie about to be released.....

    Thanks for linking-up! I might get a Jennifer Ashley romance today at the book store. I have a friend who highly recommended them.

    Thanks for linking-up!
