While this wasn’t a personal favorite of mine I could see why people enjoy it. There are either mystery series I’ve connected with more but there wasn’t necessarily poor writing or bad story telling here.

Oh I was so on the fence with this. I loved Copper as a character but then we ultimately got so caught up in her life and how it changed in Las Vegas, that there really wasn't any focus on the mystery as such. And that was disappointing in a sense. The end was quite annoying. Things just tied themselves up because the book was ending. Why was Copper so involved with the people? How did that change her life? How did that case help her go higher in her newspaper? We ignore all of these important questions. It started off very well and Copper is a strong character. The plot, however, doesn't support her character at all.

Not a fan of the language or how the girls were portrayed in the book. Come on its 2020! Very disappointed

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. The word building was phenomenal in this book. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.

Copper Black is a young journalist in Las Vegas just itching for her first big byline. In the meantime though, she’s stuck editing the weekly entertainment calendar and getting coffee for her boss. When a colleague invites her to tag along on an interview with Victoria McKimber, one of Nevada’s legal prostitutes, Copper jumps at the chance. After all, this could be just the break-out story she’s been hoping for. However, when Victoria is found dead a few days later, Copper finds herself delving into something much darker and more dangerous than she initially thought.

I read this book after first reading Getting Off on Frank Sinatra. Even though “Frank” is technically book #1 and “Blonde” is a prequel, you can really read them in either order. If you want to go chronologically, though, I would recommend starting with “Blonde”.

Copper is a fun and adventuress character. She’s also very thoughtful and tends to listen to other people’s ideas and beliefs. This allows the reader to do the same with complicated issues that Copper encounters like prostitution and mental health.

I love the sense of place that the author brings to the book. As someone who has lived in Southern Nevada for the last three years, I enjoyed the little true-to-life details like how to pronounce Nevada and the goddess temple in the middle of the desert.

Full Service Blonde was a quick little mystery for me and I really enjoyed it. I have not read Megan Edward's previous book GETTING OFF ON FRANK SINATRA but that was not a problem for understanding the details of this book.
Journalist Copper Black is a hard working girl trying to make her way in "Sin City' when she meets Victoria McKimber, a prostitute who works legally in a local brothel. Victoria wants Copper to write an exclusive story about her, but before Copper can complete the task Victoria is found dead. Copper tries her darndest to get to the bottom of the murder, endangering herself and her family in the process.

I love Las Vegas and appreciated the description of the setting. Mysteries are my favorite genre and this one ticks off all the boxes for a good one.

Pretty quick read! Definitely a vacation one for sure. It’s light and just enough mystery and romance to keep you interested.

3.5 stars.
This book really suprised me, because honeslty most of the mystery kind of books i've read hasn't been my cup of tea. But i really liked this one, i think it helped that the main character was smart and witty! it gave the book life in a different way. I'd love to read the next book in the series.

I just could not get into this book. I tried, and to be honest I gave up. I don't like when reading starts to feel like a chore. I love reading and I want to feel enjoyment from the activity. This book just fell short, and flat for me. Sorry, I do not recommend.
Thank you Netgalley and Megan Edwards for this advanced reader copy in return for an honest review.

I have always had a soft spot for likable dames and this does not disappoint. I loved the banter and wisecracking good fun of every chapter. The pace was smooth and the characters a truly Runyon update.

I read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of Getting Off on Frank Sinatra in 2016 and then a few years later I saw this book. I had to read it.

Copper Black is a 24 year old feisty journalist with an attitude. I laughed out loud many times.
Megan Edwards has become a go to author for me. I love Copper’s independence, confidence, and her family and friend relationships.

I also gained insight into how Copper fell in love with Las Vegas.

I am so glad I was able to get this from the read now shelf at Netgalley. These are my own opinions.

Journalist Cooper Black meets Victoria McKimber, a sex woker at one of Nevada's legal brothels. When McKimber turns up dead, Cooper's life escalates into investigation mode as she tries to juggle everything, with her brother's life tossed in the mix for good measure. Cooper Black is sassy and a solid contemporary for many young women, loaded with ambition and clever to boot. The story runs along with style and is a fun mystery to follow.

Thank you to NetGalley and Megan Edwards for allowing me to read and review Full Service Blonde. This book is so fun and sassy! It would make for a good vacation read :)

A fast paced mystery novel with feisty journalist as the protagonist . I really enjoyed this prequel. This book was graciously provided via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Full Service Blonde indeed. A great concept for a story. Behind the scenes at the house of ill repute. I liked the Madame, and I appreciate what she was actually trying to do. Copper Black is witty and brave and dynamic. I like her. I wasn't sure what to expect from this story. It's better than anticipated. The plot is solid and unfolds very well. I read this fairly quickly because it's so good. I recommend this one. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was good read for me. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end and would recommend it to others to read.

I loved this fast paced murder mystery that was full of suspense!😍 This book kept me turning pages through the night and I fell in love with the smart and sassy main character! Highly recommend!

Full Service Blonde was the second book in the great series of Copper Black. She's back with a fascinating look at the mostly fictional Vegas "other side". Away from the glitz of the Strip and the beautiful hotel's. The characters were complex , blending humor and drama. A bit of mystery on the side and you have a entertaining read.

I started this book and was hooked. Funny, dark and complex all at the same time it gives a lot of food for thought on very serious topics like environment and what is the person behind the sex worker.
A happy discovery!
Many thanks to Imbrifex Books and Netgalley

Cooper Black is an up and coming journalist....at least she hopes so. She gets the change to meet Victoria McKimber, and outspoken prostitute in one of Los Vegas' brothels. This sounds like the break Copper needs, it will impress her boss, her parents and boyfriend! Copper's brother is a civic minded pastor who wants to help the homeless by getting a new center for them. Then Cooper gets the news that Victoria McKimber is dead! Oh no! Cooper decides to investigate her death and really gets involved in things over her head. Can she come out of it with the killer, a killer story, and make every one happy and proud? Read the story to find out. I would like to thank Net Galley and Smith Publicity for a copy of this book, the review is unbiased and of my own opinion.
