Review: Temping Is Hell


Temping Is Hell
Temping Is Hell by Cathy Yardley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Disclaimer: I accepted an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review. And honestly, I had to buy my own copy on release day because I loved it!

The cover perfectly captured the awesomeness of this book: sexy and hellacious. Temping is Hell had me laughing by the end of the prologue.

Kate O'Hara is a broke, corporation-hating temp and Thomas Kestrel is the billionaire owner of Fiendish Enterprises. From the beginning, these characters were conflicted and the chemistry was strong. Secondary characters Maggie and Slim popped off the page for me. What a fun cast in Temping Is Hell!

The story is a fabulous genre mash-up, I've seen it called chick-lit which surprised me, I would say light paranormal romance, except it's full of comedy, mystery, and even a bit of horror.

Can't wait to read more from Cathy Yardley!

Happy Belated New Year!

The holidays are officially over.

I've barely left my house in approximately two weeks and it's been quite the experience. Here are a few things I learned during my period of holiday/snowed-in/vacation.



  1. Snow is awesome when you're inside looking out. 
  2. I'm down with being dirty. I almost called my husband at work today to tell him I actually showered before lunchtime. That hasn't happened since like, December sometime. 
  3. Netflix is the most awesomest invention ever. The Drama Queen watched season after season of shows while I worked on my book. Best. Babysitter. Ever.
  4. Cancelling Netflix and going cold turkey is the only way to break the addiction. 
  5. Watching cats sleep all dang day makes you tired. Nothing better than cuddling up with the fur-babies for a nap, only to wake 5 hours later with a sleep headache and a desperate need for a shower because it's almost dinner time.
  6. If I was home full-time, I'd probably get LESS done (due to my cat-napping) than I manage now. 
  7. Interacting with humans is stressful and awkward after a vacation spent with your characters, cats, and a drooling tween watching her 12th hour straight of GLEE.  




Back to the grind of real life on Monday. Next time, I'll be talking 2013 goals and what I'm going to do to meet them.

Cheers!
