I love Cosway’s books. She’s one of my favourite authors. If you haven’t checked out her work, I urge you to do it now. She’s written the beautiful Tegan’s Blood books and the folkore, fantasy Florence Vaine series. Now she’s releasing a contemporary romance which I’m excited to jump into.
Come forth with an open mind, for an unconventional tale of love..
Dublin native Freda Wilson considers herself to be an acquired taste. She has a habit of making offensive jokes and speaking her mind too often. She doesn’t have the best track record with first impressions, which is why she gets a surprise when her new neighbour Nicholas takes a shine to her.
Nicholas is darkly handsome, funny and magnetic, and Freda feels like her black and white existence is plunged into a rainbow of colour when she’s around him. When he walks into a room he lights it up, with his quick wit and charisma. He is a travelling cabaret performer, but Freda doesn’t know exactly what that entails until the curtains pull back on his opening night.
She is gobsmacked and entirely intrigued to see him take to the stage in drag. Later on, Nicholas asks her if she would like to become his show assistant. Excited by the idea, she jumps at the chance. Soon she finds herself embroiled in a world of wigs, make-up and high heels, surrounded by pretty men and the temptation of falling for her addictively beautiful employer.
In this story of passion and sexual discovery, Nicholas and Freda will contend with jealousy, emotional highs and lows, and the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.
It’s out December 16th. I can’t wait to grab my copy!

I LOVE the cover!:)
Me too. Can’t wait to read this one.
Oooh, I agree. Completely AWESOME cover! I also really love the detail above regarding how Freda feels her black and white existance is plunged into a rainbow of color when Nicholas walks into the room. Great description, and I like the idea of cabaret!
Yes, blurb reels you in straight away. Cosway is one of the most talented writers around.
What a cool cover! What an interesting story premise. I’ve never read any of her stuff. I may need to check her out!
I hope you do, Kitt. She’s a great writer.
Nice cover. Makes me think of ‘Black Swan’ in drag for some reason. I think I might have sniffed to much white out, that might be the problem.
Actually, it does remind me of Black Swan. Oh, you joker you.
Love the image on the cover. Although I’m not into contemporary romance generally, Tegans Blood might be interesting. X
Hi, Shah. I think Painted Faces is going to be a unique contemporary romance. If you try Tegan’s Blood let me know what you think.
