The Redhead Plays Her Hand ~ A Review by Sassy Sara
So, we start off where The Redhead Revealed left off, with a strong relationship between Jack and Grace (or Gracie and George as they are more commonly known) being challenged with Jacks new stardom and Grace staring in a new TV series. This book had my stomach in knots from the very beginning. Grace, who had found a healthy way to drop the weight she gained after being dumped by Hollywood for not having ‘it’, is being asked to lose an additional 15 pounds so that she fits into what viewers of the TV show might consider sexy.
There are many scenes in the book in which the media and bloggers have their say about Jack, about Grace, andabout the rumors that there might be something more than friendship behind all the time they spend together. As a woman who has always struggled with body image issues, I could relate with the frustration she faces with eating ‘cucumbers and air’ to attain what might look like a healthy body but it was not something she could maintain for the long run.
Jack’s inability to handle what new stardom hands him does not help. He can’t even hold the hand of the woman he loves without the possibility that it will be tweeted, analyzed, blogged, and plastered all over tabloid magazines. There were so many times I looked at their relationship throughout this series and wondered what it would feel like to have that kind of pressure. A new relationship is a lot of work for everyone. Add to that the harsh eyes of these vultures that disguise themselves as fans and rip Grace apart at every possible opportunity and I spent many hours on the verge of tears.
How can we, as women, possibly look ourselves in the mirror and not feel that something is lacking or could use improvement when that is all the media ever really tells us. Bad bikini pics of actresses on a beach, best and worst dressed red carpet looks, snapping photos of actors just trying to get some coffee; they are all part of the vicious cycle that has become an industry of self image destruction.
“Pick your path. You don’t get to decide how the public reacts. You only get to decide how you react. True, very true. Victim? Warrior? Pick. Your. Path.”
I learned long ago that all of what those magazines show can end up being twisted to whatever story they want to sell and Alice did a great job of getting her readers to look beyond the glitz and glamour to see the people beneath. I find it amazing that not one person in all of the interviews and blog posts took a second to realize that if this hot, talented, swoon worthy actor found something hot about all of Grace’s curves that maybe, just maybe, she was a wonderful person regardless of what size she wore. Maybe Jack wanted more, than some vapid shell that could look good for pictures but nothing more than that and found that in this curvy redhead. Let’s be honest. She wore a size 8. Not fat by any standard. I think that this story really revealed more about what our society full of sheeple tend to see as beauty when they look at a magazine.
All of that being said, there were still MANY sexy times for Gracie and Sweet Nuts. I love how Alice writes; it makes you feel like Jack is actually craving Grace with every ounce of his heart.
“I just spent two weeks in the desert with a bunch of guys, and if I’m not inside you immediately, I can’t be held responsible for what I might do otherwise, you hear me?”
Well done, Alice!!
Much Love,

Let’s start with a little foreplay…
What would you say is the most embarrassing thing you have done or had done to you?
The great thing about getting older is you no longer care about looking stupid. In fact, you crave it. But when I was about 14, exactly the age when what you care about MOST is being too cool for school, I came out of the girls rest room with my cheerleading skirt tucked into my spankies. And walked right through the senior locker bay amid cat calls and applause. I thought I just looked super cute that day…no.

I haven’t had any “crazy” fan moments, although signing boobs at Book Bash in Orlando last summer was pretty memorable! Mostly people are just incredible sweet and kind, and that’s the best.
