Product Description

Synopsis

In her delightful debut novel, Kylie Adams delivers just the kind of smart and funny romance that readers are clamoring for. Kristine Grayson's Utterly Charming and Kasey Michaels' Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, which Zebra published in 2000, were both national bestsellers - and Fly Me To The Moon promises to fly to the top of the lists - and off the shelves - as well. Fresh from jilting her latest groom - hand-picked by her mafioso father - savvy Sofia Rose Cardinella stumbles across Frank Sinatra wanna-be Ben Estes. Her first thought: Daddy would hate this guy. Her next: he must be the man for me! Sure enough, Ben turns out to be as suave and seductive as Ol' Blue Eyes himself - not to mention a hottie in his own right. Sofia senses that they could make beautiful music together, aside from one tiny hitch: Daddy wants to have Ben killed. Though Sofia claims her father is about as sinister as Ben's portable karaoke machine, the charismatic crooner isn't taking any chances. With Sofia in tow, he hops the first plane to the West Coast to hide out for a while. After a few steamy nights alone in an ocean-side hotel room with Daddy's Little Girl - and a few harrowing encounters with Daddy's Bumbling I lit Men - Ben is willing to do just about anything the enchanting Sofia suggests. Even marry her. After all, isn't true love worth being rubbed out for?

1.0 out of 5 stars Less than ZERO 25 Aug 2001
By Nicole - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There are some authors who are funny. Unfortunately newcomer Kylie Adams is not one of them. The author adeptly manages to insult just about every group, Jews, Episcopalians, Italians, southern folks, obese people, etc. You name it! As I recently read somewhere, there is nothing like humor that falls flat. The stupid, insipid, brainless, buffoonery in Fly Me To The Moon (which is where I wished I was instead of reading this book)is exactly that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wild and outrageous! Very highly recommended 23 May 2001
By C. Penn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Savvy Sofia Rose Cardinella has left the same groom at the alter three times. Her father and fiance just won't take the hit, but prefer to pay for the reception, cake and dresses, believing she'll eventually show up. Unfortunately, the only consistency about Sofia is her refusal to marry a man her father approves of.

Enter Ben Estes. He's not Italian. He dares to sing Frank Santra songs. He does have wit, charm, a masterful style, an, very quickly, Sofia's heart. Even when her father has Ben yanked off stage during his second number, for daring to sing Frankie's songs of course, Ben maintains his intensity, sexiness and authority. Not even death threats will stop this romance.

And it's a good thing too, since the elder Cardinella sends too bumbling hit men to erase his problem. When they show up at Sofia and Ben's little vacation retreat, the solution seems simple: marriage. But will that be enough to keep him alive?

Newcomer Kylie Adams' sophisticated style scores a direct hit! With a flair for the dramatic and outrageous, she creates characters who border on the manic, act out the impossible, and keep the laughter rolling. Fashion, cosmetics, and hit men make FLY ME TO THE MOON an exciting read too good to miss. Oh, and don't forget the sassy Mr. Pickles, who deserves his very own acclaim. Very highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fly Me To The Moon 10 May 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. I love that Sofia is so unapologetically shallow---always over the line on her credit cards, blowing her 401K on must have shoes and matching bag. I was a little concerned when she and Ben were flying to CA and she decided to curtail "certain activities" until she had her head straight, but then, just like a real human being confronted with a handsome, romantic "prince", she gave in. I thought Ben was a doll. How fun to have a hero that wasn't some sullen, brooding hunk with deep dark secrets. How fun to have guy who made an obsession with the "uncool" (Frank Sinatra) so cool you want to run out and buy every album he ever made. An old friend is gay AND P.R. and it blew me away, the realism of Ricky's relationship with his parents. The same for Debi---being a Junoesque woman myself---I knew where Debi was coming from. But then Adams lost it. I almost put the book down when Debi and Vincent met face to face at the speed-dating thing. So why did Debi have to end up with her sister's reject. I think it would have been a lot more interesting if Debi had either found herself and decided she'd rather be alone than with some loser who let himself be jilted at the altar 3 times or else she had gotten to hook up with some charmer who saw beyond Society's insistence on size 2 and appreciated the smart, funny woman she was. I mean, even at the end---Sfia's going off to launch her cosmetic comapny, Debi's preparing top give birth. I think Kylie could have done better there. But other than that quibble with a secondary character's treatment, I enjoyed this book and will watch out for future efforts. Oh---and the acknowledgements page really was fun!
