Not a genre I read very often, but I enjoyed The Scoop. This is one of those stories where you know, from page 1, exactly what is going to happen. The two main characters are going to get together, after various ups and downs en route. Nothing wring with that style. Happens all the time, with Westerns for example, where on page 1 the baddie kills/steals/kidnaps someone or something, on page 2 the goodie rides into town, and you know that on approx page 200 there’s going to be a shootout which the goodie will win despite being a pacifist at heart.
  The fun is in reading how the characters get to wherever they are going, and The Scoop supplies plenty of such fun, and is chock full of witty asides, good humour and steamy sex. No more spoilers from me, but if you want an enjoyable, fun read to help you through this too-hot weather, you can’t go far wrong with Kia’s book.
