Description
Why do men like intelligent women?
Because opposites attract.
That's what shy London music teacher Shelly Green thinks when she meets hunky, boisterous American, Kit Kincaide...on their wedding day. Thrown together on the reality show Desperate and Dateless, they were predicted to be the perfect match--physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Proving their compatibility on at least one score (in the backseat of a limo), there appears to be some hope for this manufactured marriage...until their honeymoon on the tropical island of Reunion, where Shelly realizes that men and women have slightly different takes on the meaning of commitment. For Shelly it means love, kids, and happily ever afters. But for Kit it's a meaningful one-night stand. Or is it? What exactly is her husband trying to hide?
Will Shelly discover the truth about Kit? Will she find romance in spite of a civil war, a natural disaster, and a crew of dubious television lowlifes? Do she and Kit have a chance for a real marriage in the hyped-up, surreal world of reality TV?
Love may be blind.
But marriage is a real eye-opener.

Praise for Dead Sexy…
THE TIMES Deliciously rude.
Jackie Collins Funny, irreverent, smart. A hot writer with a wickedly hilarious pen.
Salman Rushdie It cheered me up.
Carl Hiaasen The funniest thing to come out of Australia since the platypus, only much sexier!
Kylie Minogue I don't recall reading the book so much as devouring it. I was fascinated. The honesty of the story makes it hysterical and terrifying at the same time.
Jilly Cooper Adored it. Utterly outrageous, irreverent, and screamingly funny. I squirmed and cried and laughed.
British Cosmopolitan Laugh? I was nearly hospitalized...Living proof that women's humor can be just as outrageous, rough, and raunchy as the male variety.
British Elle Lette's bitingly sarcastic prose breaks through taboos with a wit so daring you'll gasp at her bravado before you laugh out loud.
