Reviews for Exposé (MF)

I loved Simone Sinna’s first book in the Stephanie Beauman series and eagerly awaited Expose. This one takes the investigative journalist from New York, where she is recovering from the end of her affair with Gabriel, to France and Spain. Producer Jeffrey Carroway is making a film on the Camino de Santiago—the famous pilgrims' walk—and Stephanie has a tip-off that he is planning to buy himself an Academy Award. Stephanie joins the film crew and finds more than she bargained for when things start going wrong on set. I don’t know much about film crews but all the petty jealousies, tantrums thrown by the stars and fights between the producer and director sounded realistic to me. Sinna’s sparkling writing highlighted the tensions, bringing them alive to such an extent that that much over-used phrase ‘page-turner’ really applies in this case. Sabotage, bribery, and artistic integrity are all in the mix as Stephanie struggles to find out who’s trying to destroy the film and who, if anyone, is trying to buy that award. I have to confess that I didn’t guess, which is good because I usually do! Stephanie isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes to get her story, and for that I admire her. She’s attracted against her will to the charismatic Carroway, gets entangled with director Paolo and male lead Damian Croft. She also needs to figure out why the location manager is keeping such a close eye on her, and wonders whether she will ever truly escape Gabriel. I can’t wait for book three to find out if she finishes up with Gabriel. I kinda hope she does. Entertaining, witty, lots of hot sex and even hotter sunshine. What more could you ask? Do yourself a favour and buy a copy of this fun, well-researched novel. You won’t regret it.
