Something
different was tugging at her soul. It
was as though the raging fire that had been controlling her life, directing all
of her decisions to viciously zoom through life, stomping on guys and living
selfishly on her rise to the top was finally dulling to a mere flame. She knew that it was still there,
though. She could feel it. There was peace though, in her heart, a peace
so subtle but strong. The peace calmed her and told her that things would be
ok. --- Alexis Cruz
Bridget Jones meets high fashion in Adrian Huerta's PUMPS.
Alexis Cruz is a sassy, hot,
take-no-prisoners, high maintenance drama queen readers will love! She is brutally honest, outrageously
outspoken with lots of sex appeal,
tremendous fashion sense, and who thinks nothing of crushing the hearts
of men with her Jimmy Choos.
Whether we are cheering her on or
ready to give her a set down, Alexis is a heroine -- or anti heroine! -- to
watch. This reviewer enjoyed her antics,
her kick-ass attitude, her win-at-all-costs mantra and her courage in facing
the unknown and winning.
Dare I call this chick lit? I will!
This is chick lit at its best. I
am surprised and delighted that it was written by a man. PUMPS has a quick pace, continuous action and
chuck-full of colorful characters from our heroine on down. I can't wait for PUMPS 2 coming out in the
New Year and to reconnect with Alexis and cast!
BOOK SUMMARY: Growing up poor and the daughter of a hotel
maid, Alexis Cruz has made it her mission to be a famous career woman with a
glamorous life her mother could be proud of.
Well, this Latina has arrived! As
production manager for Cuoio-L.A. shoes, Alexis basks in her jet-setting life
of endless parties, lavish fashion shows, hanging out with all the A-List
people, and where the men are plentiful -- a British boyfriend in LA, a boytoy
in Barcelona and numerous sexy guys she picks up at the hottest clubs around the
city.
But with the Big 3-0 on the horizon
and a near-death experience, Alexis suddenly finds herself full of anxiety,
doubts, regrets and the new owner of a black and hot-pink motorbike. And, is that her biological clock ticking?! Then, as if a mini mid-life crisis weren't
enough, her boyfriend wants to marry her, the boytoy wants to move in, her long
lost father wants to reconnect, her mother continues to warn her against
trusting men, and her boss is moving their factory from Italy to China! What's a girl to do? Alexis pulls up big girl panties and carries
on!
Soon the cynical career woman driven
only by ambition and the ideal of success, finds herself reevaluating her life,
her job, her future. Alexis accepts the fact that she won't ever have the fairy
tale love she dreamt of or thought she'd share with her high school sweetheart,
but she has all the rest -- looks, power, money, rich British fiancé. Surely love will grow with time. But on the eve of her wedding day, who does
fate throw in her path but the only man she ever truly loved and trusted -- her
ex, Manolo.
PUMPS 2 will be out in 2014, and
we'll be able to find out then if there was a wedding! Isn't that just like a man to leave us
hanging? I love it! Stay tune. ###
