Publisher's Summary

Ambitious Daily Sentinel journalist Lauren King is chaffing on LA’s vapid social circuit, reporting on glamorous A-list parties while sparring with her rival - the formidable, icy Catherine Ayers. Ayers is an ex-Washington political correspondent who suffered a humiliating fall from grace, and her acerbic, vicious tongue keeps everyone at bay. Everyone, that is, except knockabout Iowa girl King, who is undaunted and unimpressed and gives as good as she gets.

One night a curious story unfolds before their eyes: one political launch, 34 prostitutes and a palette of missing pink champagne. Can the warring pair work together to unravel an incredible story? 

This is a lesbian fiction with more than a few mysterious twists.

Another good one

I just finished listening to this one, the choice of Victoria Mei as narrator was brilliant. Her ice queen Catherine Ayers felt impossible to melt, and her Lauren King was spot on. I totally dig this book and can't wait to here the sequel. If at all possible I say have Victoria Mei narrate the sequel as well. She brings those charters to life and gives them full bodies and feelings.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I prefer books with lesbian characters and was very happy to find something more than just a cheesy romance novel. I mean, I love cheese, it was just a nice change of pace to have such a thrilling story to go along with it. I loved every second of it and spent most of the time on the edge of my seat.

Loved it!!!!

This was really well written and such a delight to read. I was so intrigued with the scandal that I forgot this was also a love story. Both of the main characters were great although I would love to have a prequel of Catherine’s story. This was my first book by Lee Winter and I will definitely be reading more. And as for Victoria Mei, her narration was wonderful! #lovedit #journalism #lgbtqa+ #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Very well written, great plot, great ending

This is the first time I felt the need to write a review. Loved this book. The best I read/listened in this genre in a long time. Great plot, the narrator nailed everything, and I just think the ending was awesome!

not as good as "the Brutal Truth"

I recently read "the brutal truth" by Lee Winter. I really enjoyed that book. The characters were very likable and the narration was excellent. This book. " the Red Files" just wasn't as good. The characters in this book didn't impress me.Catherine was hard to like, in fact. So, if you are reading this review and haven't yet decided on which Lee Winter book to get, please, do yourself a favor and get "the Brutal Truth."

Ice queen and country hack

I did not think Lee could produce another winner but she did it again. Writing with knowledge about a subject she knows so well. The concept of this work was truly beautiful and heartwarming. The narration though I was dubious at the beginning grew on me as it progressed and by the end I was all in.

Such a satisfying read

So much more than your average romance, this has intriguing plot twists, good characterisation, and a yummy love story. I personally love a feisty authentic young woman meets untouchable cynical ice queen type tale . All that slow burn, set against a cleverly unfolding mystery, with a hot scene here and there, had me hooked pretty much all the way.

Handling The Truth

Wow! This book has been an education of a major shift in politics! I wonder where LW gets her storyline!! It was clear and direct - no holds barred story! Reporters were reporting and to peek inside the press and telling the truth was fascinating and a shift in perception for me! I enjoyed this book immensely! The story was deep, the characters were wild and the reader was excellent! Going in for the next novel by this author!

A Must ...you must listen if ever a fan

As always L. Winter read by V. Mei do NOT disappoint me. In this thrilling story of how does it happen in politics and journalism. In a world of "Fake news", just what is real and what is fiction. Into the world of love or journalism and what is just, this is a .muat.
