Loreen Murphy hadn't meant to hire a male prostitute in Las Vegas. It was all just a big, stupid, expensive misunderstanding. Abbey Walsh never intended anyone to find out about the fact that she's being blackmailed. As a minister's wife, her sordid past was supposed to be a secret. Tiffany Vanderslice Dreyer never dreamed that she'd find herself up to her eyeballs in credit card debt from one mad moment of a shopping spree. She's an upstanding wife and mother with the perfect marriage…right? Secrets of a Shoe Addict is the story of three women who bond together when they find themselves in more than one kind of trouble. It's the story of how sometimes, you hide a secret side that can get you in--and out--of dire straits. It's about romance, friendship, kids, revenge, affairs, and most of all a love of all the well-heeled things in life.

"Hilarious! Fast paced and fun! It is about a group of Moms who go to Vegas for their school's band tournament and get into financial trouble. They use some unorthadox method to earn money all the while working on their relationships with the men in their lives. I highly recommend it! :)"

“This tale of four housewives who run up unexpected debt and become phone-sex operators to pay it off is a perfect fit for audio. Orlagh Cassidy milks the comedy to the hilt… [Her] timing and delivery are perfect, making this audio even more fun than the print version.
— Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewKick off your Keds (unless you're driving) and meet a motley group of D.C. women who bond over designer shoes. It's chick lit with heart and sole.
— People Magazine on Shoe Addicts AnonymousI was hooked from the first page and read it in one sitting--I couldn't put it down...Shoe Addicts Anonymous was a pleasure from start to finish.
— Marian Keyes, bestselling author of Anybody Out There? on Shoe Addicts Anonymous" Definitely not as good as the first book. I am a little disappointed as the story was just not very indepth. I felt the characters had a good profile but the story was just too superficial for me. I kept waiting to be pulled deeper in but I just wasn't. A fun read for the beach when there isn't much else to do. "
— Rachel, 2/18/2014" I loved this book! It was a first of Beth Harbison for me. I knew right away she would be an author to watch for and is one of my favorites! Reading this book made me want to read all her others. This book had me laughing out loud!! Defiantly a must read. "
— Becky, 2/9/2014" Hilarious chick lit at its best! "
— Erin, 1/29/2014" An absolutely cute and funny story. "
— Terrie, 1/29/2014" Okay, I didn't like the first book...so I'm not sure why I read the second one. Maybe because I thought I would enjoy the sequel more? So it's just my luck that this book is not a true sequel...only one of the characters from the previous book is in this one. If I could give this book 1/2 a star, I would - biggest reason being that the characters were not memorable and I hardly remember what the plot was! "
— Lisa, 1/28/2014" Once more, I loved the story. I enjoyed the characters and their lives. Fluff or not, it is a good thing to enjoy a book! "
— Pat, 1/28/2014" The first book in the series was cute, this one was kind of trashy in my opinion. Don't think I would recommend this one. "
— Becca, 1/8/2014" Humorous story but I wasn't very invested in the characters. "
— Elizabeth, 12/23/2013" Got this a an advance copy. I have been reading it on my lunch breaks. It's a very typical, light, funny, chick lit read. Not awful, but not groundbreaking literature either. I'd recommend it if you enjoyed any of the shopaholic series or any of the Giffin books. "
— Lauren, 11/21/2013" I liked this books plot and how a silly evening/bad situation brings several women together. They really address some serious woman issues in the book while all together gathering independence and self worth. "
— Lauren, 11/5/2013" Light and fluffy and totally not believeable but entertaining nevertheless. "
— Kari, 10/12/2013" quick read chick lit. fun story. "
— Sarah, 10/5/2013" The book was pretty good. Unfortunately it had a slow start. It's one of those books you'll be happy you stuck with but it will take you a while to get into. I would give it 3 stars. "
— Miraque, 9/16/2013" The editing could have been a little better in catching some slip ups, but overall this book was okay. I often found myself wishing that some of the characters (mainly the actual families) were a little more developed. It fell a little short from what I was expecting. "
— Jennifer, 7/13/2013" I really didn't care for this book. It was predictable fluff. "
— Kathy, 5/19/2013" this was a cute book, easy read, maybe a bit too wordy but it reads quick anyway. "
— Chris, 5/10/2013" It took a few chapters to realize how the first book and this one are related... but once I figured it out I really liked it. "
— Rachel, 5/7/2013" zero stars if possible. I could not bring myself to get past chapter 3... so very bad. "
— Stef, 1/28/2013" So far, this book is HILARIOUS!!!! "
— Monica, 1/1/2013" This book was obviously an easy read. In fact, it was a little too easy and a little too silly. If the writing was a bit more sophisticated, then the story would have been more fun to read, and not quite so ridiculous. "
— Catherine, 8/16/2012" A quick, easy fun summer read that had me LMAO through almost the whole book!! "
— Debbie, 7/27/2012" Comprar los zapatos antes que el vestido??.... JaJa conozco esa historia .... me declaro una "Shoe addict" "
— Lizeth, 3/8/2012" Medium. Really a 2.5. This is a sequel to Shoe Addicts Anonymous and I liked the other much better! It is a cheesy little chick- lit. A quick and easy read... Literature fluff! "
— Amy, 2/20/2012" I absolutely lOOOOVe how beth harbison writes. This chick lit will take you over until it is finished. The characters jump off the page and make you route for a happy ending! "
— Rachel, 2/1/2012" Not exactly what I thought it was going to be...that being said, it was entertaining but I wouldn't read it again. "
— Julie, 1/20/2012" 3 middle age women get in financial trouble on a school band competition in Vegas that they are chaperoning. They come up with a hilarious way to solve their problem and become close friends in the process. Great beach book. I read it in one day, "
— Debbie, 12/28/2011" Not as good as her first book and a nice light read. "
— Jeannie, 7/15/2011" Fun easy read. No thinking involved. "
— Tanya, 6/26/2011" great book to listen to in the car! "
— Lee, 5/3/2011" This was fun, and a lot more touching than the first. "
— February, 5/1/2011" Parts were funny, but the title is compeltely deceiving. I'm still not sure why a book about housewives-turned-phone-sex-operators is titled "Secrets of a Shoe Addict". Definitely not my favourite read. "
— Shop, 4/26/2011" This book had me cracking up during many parts. Ok, so it's not a classic in the Gone With the Wind sense, but it was a funny, fast and a fun read! "
— Nancy, 4/3/2011" I really enjoyed this book. It was a very easy read an highly entertaining. "
— Brenda, 4/2/2011" This book was very funny in the beginning, but towards the end it was just terrible. "
— Jessica, 3/5/2011" This book was an easy, light-hearted read. I only gave it 3 start because I found it quite predictable and extremely unrealistic. I probably wouldn't recommend it but I did enjoy reading it, for the most part. "
— Becca, 3/4/2011" Shoe Addicts Anonymous is so much better. "
— Allison, 2/9/2011" I thought this would be a light read, something entertaining about designer shoe addiction. Instead it is about phone sex (ok, on a very g-rated level, but still, not what I was expecting). "
— Kristi, 1/26/2011" Medium. Really a 2.5. This is a sequel to Shoe Addicts Anonymous and I liked the other much better! It is a cheesy little chick- lit. A quick and easy read... Literature fluff! "
— Amy, 12/15/2010" Loved it, loved it, loved it! This was a funny look at 3 womens' lives and how they dealt with one crazy night! For a great, non-commital read, go for this one. Shoes an added bonus. :-) "
— Renae, 11/8/2010" This wasn't all what I thought it was going to be. It was really good though! It was an easy read and the characters were interesting. "
