THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES
18 Novels

“The book ended with a hook that made me want to get the next one. I’m completely smitten.” —Barbara Vey

“A hilarious, laugh-out-loud read. Donna is a fantastic character – practical, witty, and kick-ass tough. There’s plenty of action – both in and out of the bedroom – and although there are a few grittier scenes, generally this is a light, humourous caper of a crime novel. I can’t wait to read the next in the series. Highly recommended.” —CrimeThrillerGirl.com

“Can I be Donna when I grow up? The story jumps off the page with side-splitting humor, toe-curling sexual tension, and a nail-biting mystery. It’s got everything a great story needs.” —Elicia Hyder, author, Soul Summoner Series

TOTLANDIA SERIES
8 Novels
“Josie Brown writes Totlandia with her usual storytelling flair. The dialogue is smooth and flowing. The characters are easy to side with or become angry with, depending on each situation. The scenery is easy to visualize. And we mustn't forget all the sex (blushworthy, at that) and scandal that is a staple of a true Josie Brown novel. It showed that there are mothers who are human and sometimes screw up even with the best intentions at hand. It's like a soap opera for mommies. Guilty pleasure, anyone?”—Melissa Amster,  ChickLitCentral.com

THE BABY PLANNER
“Brown takes baby mania to its illogical, hysterical extreme in this bubbly romp. But what begins as a light foray into Bugaboo country turns into something bigger than a satire of status-obsessed Bay Area yummy mummies as Brown takes a dark look at the fears of parenthood and family, with Katie's heartbreaking longing for a child unveiling a disturbing reality about her marriage and family. Still, the message from the somber realities is one full of hope: love makes a family, commitment keeps it together.”—Publishers Weekly

THE CANDIDATE

“The Candidate had twists and turns that I certainly didn't see coming and it kept me reading on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you are looking for a book that is packed full of romance, suspense, and mystery, then I promise you, you won't be disappointed with this book.”—Amazon

SECRET LIVES OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES
“Already touted as the perfect summer beach read, this character-driven sometimes steamy book can best be described as the offspring of an affair between Desperate Housewives and a Jennifer Weiner novel….A quick look into the sometimes catty world of wealth where priorities get shifted, friendships get broken and marriages, like their mansions, get rearranged. It was light and fluffy with some excellent dialogue.”
—GoodHousekeeping.com

HOLLYWOOD HUNK

“…The tone is confessional, the writing laced with venomous humor…”
—The Wall Street Journal

“Brown captures the humor of working for a megalomaniac…[A] well-paced, entertaining story.”
—Publishers Weekly

“A fine piece of literary work.”
—New York Post, Page Six

“Josie Brown does an outstanding job capturing the glitz and glamour of Hollywood living while illuminating the stark loneliness present beneath the façade. Filled with good-natured humor and witty repartee…”
—Romance Reader's Connection
