Can I just say WOW?! This book had every chapter done by a different author, but honestly, I couldn't tell it was a different person writing! Normally you get a little bit different feel, but not with this, it flowed perfectly! And the story was a fun one, maybe had a few predictable aspects to the story, but they played out uniquely and kept my interest. In fact at one point it went in a totally different direction than I expected. Also, hilarious! The hilarity of each chapter is another thing that amazed me. Normally not all authors can do the same funny, but these all did! I'd had this sitting in my room for awhile to read since I won it, but decided to finally pick it up and read it when I realized there were several authors in it that were new to me, but that I would get the chance to meet them at Book Bonanza in July. I also am interested to read other books by these authors now. Oh yeah, I love when books use things like emails or instant messaging, etc., to tell the story. This one included Twitter posts, which were part of what made this such a hilarious story.

This seems like a book written by a bunch of friends who had a blast doing it. This story is silly, and fun and a little ridiculous. It's a good time

I don't have much to say about this quirky, light and funny read. I was skeptical about 13 different author tying their writing styles together, but honestly it was pretty good. The narrative had a good flow, and the insanity of some of the situations Verity and her friends go through, kept me giggling throughout. Hudson and his tattoos weren't too hard to handle either. They picked one of my favorite cities as a back drop, so following along with the characters to the the places along their journey was enjoyable. Overall, I think I would pick up another compilations like this from this group of writers. It gave me a taste of some authors I have yet to read.
My rating 3.5 out of 5 stars...

I was thrown for a loop when I read that 13 authors participated in writing this book! How could they each, with their own ideas, write a story that blends well with what was written before them? I don’t know how they did it, but it sure made for one hell of a book!
First off, the hashtags at the end of each chapter had me laughing hysterically. #TheBoxesMustDie #PoundHudson #Honeybee #HudsonWantsToPound #IDidn’tSignUpForThis #VodkaIsMyBitch #RageDrinking

Hudson Fenn (@tatwhiteknight) or also known as Tattoo, is a bicycle delivery man in New York City with a few of his own secrets. He looks like a thug (must be the tattoos) but has a heart of gold. He is a little on the rebellious side, sexy and but not exactly what Verity Michaels is looking for.
Verity Michaels, (@VerityPics03) or Honeybee to Hudson is a photographer who had to put her love aside after a failed business brings her from Florida to New York. She is working as a receptionist for Larold Lay, a strange, strange man.
Verity and Hudson meet in a cab. The hilarity ensues with the cab ride and just keeps on going from there. They end up going their separate ways (because you know, he’s a tatted up thug and all) and she thinks she will never see him again. Wrong. Of course he’s going to end up delivering secretive packages to her boss.
Hudson programs his number into her phone and away we go. He shows up when she is out with her friends and lets her know just how far he takes his #Stalker abilities by tracking her on Twitter. Of course you know she talks about the fact she wants to #PoundHudson. There were some steamy sex scenes, and along with some splinters, too!
I don’t even know where to begin with Mr. Larold Lay. Instantly, you knew something was just seriously wrong with this guy #EyesUpHere. Until you get to the middle of the book, you really have no idea just how creepy he is!
Verity feels that Hudson is mysterious and is keeping secrets after speaking with her boss, Mr. Lay. If I were Verity, I’d be more worried about Mr. Lay than Hudson. Hudson finally reveals his “secrets” and I really didn’t think it was that bad. I had come up with way worse scenarios as to what exactly he was hiding. #SorryNotSorry
I enjoyed this read immensely. There was some romance, some office hijinks, and yet hilarious with a lot of laugh out loud moments and of course those swoon-worthy moments throw in for good measure. This book was very well done by all the authors involved. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope they do it again. I admit I have only read a few of the authors that participated in writing this book, but I will definitely be adding the rest to my TBR list!

Loved it
It was a great read. I loved how each author had their own chapter. This is the first time I've read a book written by so many authors. Definitely recommend and you won't be disappointed.

First, a note on the concept of the book. It’s a “domino” story, or I guess I would have called it a “round robin”, where each author writes a chapter of the book and passes it off the next one to write the following chapter. My concerns here are going to be cohesiveness, is is going to feel like a composed story, or a collection of short scenes. But it might be a great way to discover new authors, so I’m tagging in.
Well, my concerns weren't totally unfounded, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.
The humor and dialogue was what sold me on this, but it was really lacking in character development.

I loved this book! The story flowed perfectly, even though it was written by 13 different authors. This is a complete story, not an anthology.
"Okay, that's fair. But maybe I was saving you." He bowed at the waist. "Sometimes white knights have tattoos, princess."
Verity and Hudson are funny and sarcastic. I loved that the story was helped along by Twitter and hashtags. There are twists and turns, these authors did an amazing job.

VIP room couches are steam-cleaned daily, right?

I'm a huge fan of banter and love when authors are able to pull it off. These 13 authors did a wonderful job. I was laughing at Verity and Hudson's craziness. Poor Verity gets into a little trouble with Twitter but it's funny and would make anyone embarrassed if in her place.
No matter how much soap she used to wash her hands, she couldn't seem to get sparkle free. Glitter was the herpes of crafting.
I highly recommend reading Felony Ever After. You can not go wrong with any of these authors! If these few little excerpts didn't intrigue you then I don't know what will.
