GIVEAWAY: I have on print Advance Uncorrected Proof copy of Great-Aunt Sophia's Lessons for Bombshells
Description:
A Ph.D. in sex appeal ?Grace Cavanaugh is hell-bent on proving her Women’s Studies dissertation thesis that beauty only leads to misery. And what better research subject than her great-aunt Sophia, a former B-movie star? Now eighty-five and facing surgery, Sophia has asked Grace for company. . . .
Grace imagines a helpless, lonely old woman, forced to turn to a great-niece she barely knows. Instead she finds the aging diva holding court in a Pebble Beach mansion, oozing a bombshell-itude—arthritis and wrinkles be damned—that captivates every male in sight. To Grace’s dismay, her greataunt decides a perfect distraction would be transforming the frumpy feminist into a femme fatale who purrs for her suitors . . . or devours them. She ordains classes in everything from carb cutting to lingerie, culminating in a challenging final exam. The newly svelte Grace must test her wiles—on both devilishly handsome and morally corrupt Declan and sensitive but painfully awkward Dr. Andrew.
Newly unleashed desires—and the discovery of a closely held family secret— threaten the bookworm-turned-babe’s entire feminist upbringing. Her thesis gone sadly awry, Grace wonders if her great-aunt is right: Will trusting her heart lead her to find beauty in the most unexpected places?

I enjoy winning books and donate most to the local library for other readers to enjoy.
I think it would be a lot of fun to be a femme fatale, but could I pull it off probably not. I think I would end up blushing like crazy, because that’s not me. However, I really wouldn’t want to be frumpy.
Sounds like a great story! Interesting thesis, with an awesome research subject, an elderly Diva aunt, is perfect! I would love to win a copy! Thanks for the chances to win!
A B-movie actress is an actress who acts in B-movies. A B-movie is a movie that is a low budget film.
I’m more of a frump in real life but it would be awesome to be a Femme fatale
or even a b-movie actress. B-movie actresses starred in low budget films or were more background/supporting cast types…
If I was frumpy I would not get to wear the exciting clothes that a femme fatale would.
I would like to be a femme fatale because that is my total opposite.

I’m not exactly frumpy, but I’m not a fashionista either, so it might be fun to be a femme fatale for a bit, but I’d probably need some training to get the right frame of mind.
B-movies are lower budget movies, but they can be as good as the big budget movies & get the B-movie actress noticed for the big budget A list movies.
I would very much like to be a femme fatale, however, I’m sure frumpy is more comfortable. lol
A B-movie actress is a female actress in a low-budget movie, like Linnea Quigley back in the 80s. I love B-movies! They’re so much fun and anything and everything goes.
No femme fatale for me–couldn’t do it. I’ll take frumpy instead.
A B-movie actress is an actress who stars in B-movies or low-budget movies.
I don’t know if I could ever be a femme fatale but frumpy seems a bit extreme! If I had to choose, I would go frumpy. I’m just not the type to maintain the femme fatale thing because it takes so much work!
A B-movie is that second tier movie. They aren’t the big budget blockbusters but they aren’t arthouse films either. I always figure the actors in these films are either up and coming or starting to drop from the top. Let’s face it, it’s work even if it’s not the spotlight!
A B-movie actress was an actress who acted in the lesser (“B”) movie of a traditional “double bill”. when movie goers expected two films (the A movie with the big stars that brought in the customers, the B movie) a cartoon, and an newsreel for their money.
I think it would be fun to be a femme fatale–find out what’s been lurking under this frumpy librarian for 40 years!
I would like to be a femme fatale, because they are everything I am not. I am more of a frump. All of that glamour would be great. Love to read this book. Please enter me. Thanks!

Femme fatale because it sounds more fun.
A B- movie actress acts in poorer quality and lower budget movies.
