last test!
<img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/210/1884/200/kenner-manolo.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace=12 vspace=8><br><a href=" http://rosario.blogspot.com/2006/01/givenchy-code-by-julie-kennerhtml" target="_blank">The Givenchy Code</a> was the first <a href=" http://www.juliekenner.com/" target="_blank">Julie Kenner</a> book I really enjoyed. While Kenner did close the action to my satisfaction in that one, there were quite a few unanswered questions there at the end, leaving the door open to more adventures in this particular world. And that's exactly what happens in <a href=" http://www.likesbooks.com/cgi-bin/bookReview.pl?BookReviewId=5577" target="_blank">The Manolo Matrix</a>.
<br clear=left><br><blockquote><i>USA Today bestselling author of The Givenchy Code, Julie Kenner reloads for her second novel of high-heeled thrills as another woman gets pulled into a mysterious world of extreme gaming where she must play or die. </i>
Aspiring actress Jennifer Crane knows all about games—the games girls play to get a guy; the games actresses play to land a part; and the good old game of credit-card roulette. (How else is a girl supposed to afford her shoes?) But she never expected to be playing a game with life-or-death consequences. Unable to successfully score an acting gig, she has, instead, been cast in the role of reluctant bodyguard to a real-life assassin's target—a dashing FBI agent of all people!—and must embark with him upon a scavenger hunt across Manhattan in search of the ultimate prize: survival. Before this, Jenn's definition of fighting dirty has been elbowing her way to the front of the line at a Manolo sample sale. Now, if she wants to stay alive, she's going to have to learn a few new uses for her stilettos. . . and they ain't pretty. </blockquote>Though I had a few doubts at the beginning, I ended up enjoying <i>TMM</i> just as much as <i>TGC</i>.
