Desperate Measures | Elle Casey

NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ELLE CASEY, brings readers the romantic chick lit novel, DESPERATE MEASURES. [Formerly titled Desperate Measures Trilogy: Book 1, Full Measure, published under Elle Caseys alter ego, Kat Lee.] Drawn together over a love of books, three women strike up an unlikely friendship, and end up forming bonds that move well beyond what any of them ever imagined possible. Desperate Measures serves up laughter, romance, cookies, tea - and a whole lot of love. Aimee: A housewife left in the dust by her philandering husband, with an outdated high school education but a serious talent when it comes to confections... Elizabeth: An accountant tired of crunching numbers for hundreds of clients with more money than they know what to do with... Kiki: An exotic dancer who wants nothing more than to get out of the game... Content warning: Due to sexy situations and content, this book is definitely not appropriate for younger readers. A message from Elle about this book: Being a huge bookworm myself, the idea of writing a story about friends finding one another through books was really appealing to me. One thing Ive learned about people who love books is that they come in all shapes and sizes and from all backgrounds and places, but the common ground of literature somehow makes everything work. When I was younger, I was the only bookworm I knew. Now that Im an adult, Ive found the joy of seeking others out and spending time with them. Its like a whole new world has opened up to me, and so of course I wanted to write about it! Not that I have a former stripper in my book club or anything HERES WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT DESPERATE MEASURES: The friendship that the three leading ladies have is priceless and the men they coming into their lives are just as awesome. Such a cute, funny endearing story with some pretty exciting moments to boot. It's a must read ~ Kindle Customer, Amazon I am a huge fan of Elle Casey/Kat Lee so when I saw this book pop up on Amazon I had to get it! I love that out of the three girls you can identify with at least one, if not all of them. I highly recommend this book for a great read and laugh, I loved it! Keep 'em coming! ~ LisaDan, Amazon reviewer Elle Casey (Kat Lee) is proving to be my new favorite author Full Measure is both entertaining and insightful. The characters bloom in front of you. I don't normally write reviews, but this just got to me. I found myself relating to all of the characters in many ways ~ aapbutterfly, Amazon reviewer I loved this book It has drama, action and hilarity. I actually laughed out loud quite a lot. I adored Betty and her comments. The characters are three ladies that you wish you became friends with. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great story and laughter. ~ Shara, Goodreads reviewer

While this is not normally something I would have discovered on my own (a friend said I must read it) I found myself really enjoying the story of the women in it. Brought together by a book club (which only comes up at the beginning) the women form a very special friendship that I am proud to say is very similar to my friendships with a few people in my life. I do recommend this book as an easy and enjoyable read.

My numbers are not as impressive as everyone else's on here but it is a good number for me. ?looking forward to 2017 reading challenge and hope I can raise my total by a few and while I've read some great books this year, next year I would like to read include more substantial material ?and by the way, I liked Micronesian Blues so I'm not sure why it's "least popular"

Sweettartlaura It's all about personal satisfaction: if you're happy with what you read this year, then nothing else matters. Congrats! 8y

#seasonsreadings2016 #ereader while I am a major bookworm who loves real books, I admit I have to be careful not to get overrun by them. So I bought a kindle to read books on that I don't mind not having the paper copies. Albeit, sometimes I end up having copies in paper and on the kindle. I love the feeling of having a cherished book with me at all times😍
