Anchored: a novel by Brigitte Quinn. BookSparks, 2015. 316 pages. ****
Barbara
King's dream job is to anchor the prime time network. It's never easy to juggle
work, family, motherhood and being a wife, but it becomes especially difficult
for Barbara when the network hires a "hot" new co-anchor for her.
Sexy Jack Stone, sits inches from her on the set, and after a chilly first
meeting, become best friends finishing each other sentences. Rumors fly that
they are having an affair, but both Barbara and Jack are happily married to
their spouses, or are they? Will Barbara and Jack risk ruining their
friendship for what could be a tawdry affair or have they fallen in love and complete each
other both on and off of the set?
This debut novel is a
lighthearted behind the scenes look at a newsroom and the people who bring the
news into your home every day. Humor, romance, friendship and the complexities
of staying true to oneself while reporting the news amidst strong egos and backstabbing
behavior. A great beach read, fun and entertaining.
