Showtime Rendezvous

Overall this book is sensational (in a good way). I like the made-up words “spandexing” and “chastitying”, as well as how a secret hideout becomes central to the story. No spoilers!

It's interesting to read this quite soon after I finished a similar romance novel (“European Tour”, L.V. Lewis, between a rock star and a pop princess). Two concerns: the protagonist's male lover could have been hinted at earlier because it's a bit unexpected to find the romantic element at around 21% of a romantic comedy; and the comic relief embodied by the grandmother figure might have a closer tie to to the central romance, though I felt that wasn't explored deeply enough. On the flip side, though, the book is light-hearted and funny, and the tone of the book, especially after the introduction of the protagonist's male lover, is its greatest strength.
