Funny Business by Desmond X. Torres ~ Blog Tour & Review
FUNNY BUSINESS
Publisher: Monarch Moments
Publication Date: October 24, 2013
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Artie’s been carrying a
torch for Marie since she first repaired his car at Smitty’s garage. Too bad
she hates cops. You could write a novel about it. Actually, Artie did. He even
published it online. It’s a little cheesy, but his pen name Desiree Robb is
developing a fan base.
Out of the blue, the book takes off, igniting an avalanche of sales. Desiree Robb is approached by a major publisher- they’re offering millions!
But Desiree has to show her pretty face for promotions. Guess who Artie asks to be Desiree?
Marie signs on- for a price. It’s easy money, but things get complicated. Artie’s driving her batty. Or is there something more? During preparations for a live TV broadcast, a sweet romance tentatively begins.
More complications ensue. The mob gets involved. These guys mean business- so what if they still live with their parents? Then there’s the hot for cops VP, a popular talk show, and the FBI. It all fuses into a laugh out loud cluster chaos as tangled as a New York City rush hour.
Available for ONLY $0.99
A former New York City
cop, Desmond X. Torres will neither confirm nor deny his ownership of a blonde
wig and pink bathrobe.He always wanted to be an astronaut, but the closest he ever got was being called a space shot.
In his spare time, he enjoys mixed martial arts, motocross racing, and base jumping from tall buildings. He has a great cable TV package. And beer. He loves beer. And nachos. He really loves nachos.
He’d better say he loves K.D. McLean too or she’s going to brain him.
He has been writing since he can remember. It started in primary school. Penmanship has always been important to him - it’s a lost art.
His motto for life is – “I’m going to live forever.”
So far, so good.

Super fun, super cute
story with some laugh out loud moments that had be grinning from ear to ear. When
there’s a mix up between criminals and a wannabe romance writer, all hell
breaks loose.
Artie is a great character;
from the start, the reader has a connection with him. Artie, a good cop with a
sense of purpose and drive, has a hidden desire to write women’s fiction/romance.
This makes this a very different take on an otherwise overdone story line. His
love interest is feisty, and I can see why he’s smitten. They make a great duo.
It’s hijinks and laughter.
I was reminded of Janet Evanovich
with the comedy aspect of Funny Business. There isn’t a complicated mystery to
figure out, You’re just along for the ride as we change back and forth between
the characters. It’s light and fun, and what I call a perfect waiting room
read.
