Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak

Author:
Julie Cohen

Publisher:
Little Black Dress

Blurb:
Welcome to the world of Julie Cohen - one of the freshest, funniest voices in romantic fiction.

Rosie Fox is a liar. A really, really good liar. But when you're a stage psychic who's not actually psychic, you have to be.

Then one night, while pretending to commune with the dead relatives and pets of her audience, Rosie makes a startling prediction - which tragically comes true. Suddenly she's trapped in a media frenzy, spearheaded by the impossibly handsome journalist Harry Blake, a man intent on kick-starting his stalled career by exposing Rosie as a fraud. Yet, when his interest in her goes from professional to personal, she thinks she can trust him not to blow her cover - but maybe she's making a huge mistake.

A hilarious romantic comedy that only goes to show that the course of true love is never, ever predictable.


MsCreativity Says:

I'm speechless. Wow! I picked up this book expecting the hilarious romantic comedy that the blurb promised. I got all of the above, but so very much more.

Julie Cohen is a very talented writer. But she is so much more than the 'freshest, funniest voice in romantic fiction'. This book was fresh, it was funny, and it was romantic. However, there was so much more to it than this. It was serious, it was heartbreaking, and it had so many different layers.

I can't imagine anyone feeling disappointed with what this book promises. Unless they're only looking for a light-hearted romantic comedy. This book offers so much more than that.
