Come forth with an open mind, for an unconventional tale of love....
Dublin native Freda Wilson considers herself to be an acquired taste. She has a habit of making offensive jokes and speaking her mind too often. She doesn't have the best track record with first impressions, which is why she gets a surprise when her new neighbor, Nicholas, takes a shine to her. Nicholas is darkly handsome, funny, and magnetic, and Freda feels like her black and white existence is plunged into a rainbow of color when she's around him. When he walks into a room he lights it up, with his quick wit and charisma. He is a travelling cabaret performer, but Freda doesn't know exactly what that entails until the curtains pull back on his opening night. She is gob-smacked and entirely intrigued to see him take to the stage in drag. Later on, Nicholas asks her if she would like to become his show assistant. Excited by the idea, she jumps at the chance. Soon she finds herself immersed in a world of wigs, make up, and high heels, surrounded by pretty men and the temptation of falling for her incredibly beautiful employer. In this story of passion and sexual discovery, Nicholas and Freda will contend with jealousy, emotional highs and lows, and the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.

I don't think the narrator was suited to the subject matter though - too quirky and light-hearted at times, when the mood was anything but.

I wish that more of Cosway's stories were on Audible! I'd definitely snap them up. As I said, so unique and well done. No cookie-cutter romance here!
My only complaint is the narrator. Viv / Nicholas is suppose to be from New Zealand but there was not even a _hint_ of a New Zealand accent. And so much of the story was pretty much just read to us in a monotone. Very disappointing.
Bad narrator notwithstanding ... highly recommended!

I couldn't put the book down and ignored my family and home (and sleep) to finish.
I listened to the audiobook for some of the story. At first I was surprised by the unusual, sort of fast sound of the narrator's voice. But as I listened I realized how much she had taken on the fun and quirky personality of Fred and that was what was coming through in the narration. I fell in love with Fred and swooned for my first drag queen crush, Viv!!
"I love him because he makes me laugh when I don't feel like laughing. I love him because he challenges my view of what a man is. I love him because I know I shouldn't love him and that he'll break my heart. I love him because he's a complete and total anomaly. I love him because I want to kill the sadness inside him more than I want anything else in the world."

I never would have known about this book until I attended a book chat with Julia Kent and Penny Reid, 2 of my favourite authors (on Zoom, during quarantine of course). Penny and LH Cosway co-wrote a book series together (about Rugby players) that I enjoyed, and Penny and Julia had talked about how great this book was and how important it was in the Romance genre. I had to check it out. WOW! This book is incredible! A must read for everyone, especially if you love Irish accents! Fred and Viv’s story is just so special ❤️
Spectacular!
