Reviews ' . . . you'll love Naked in Knightsbridge. This book is fantastic! An essential if you just want to sit back, relax and escape from the world. Jools is quite the character, one of my favorites, and she'll keep you laughing till the end.' --Mary De Bastos, The Sweet Bookshelf 'Naked in Knightsbridge is one of the best books I have read this year - a unique tale of a modern woman in a desperate situation that's brilliantly written and downright hilarious as well as refreshing. Nicky is an extremely talented writer and I already can't wait for her next offering!' --Elle Symonds, Trashionista I really enjoyed reading Naked In Knightsbridge. Nicky Schmidt is a talented writer and I hope shes writing another book. Shes given us a quirky plot, even quirkier characters and has written a very compelling read. It really was a joy to read.' --Leah Graham, Chick Lit Reviews 'Naked in Knightsbridge' With mounting debts, threats from a crazy landlord and a cleaning business that was going well until she set fire to someone's house, Jools Grand is about to find herself homeless. She has to come up with a plan, and fast. So with an acute sense of desperation, Jools decides to auction herself online in a marriage of convenience. Who knows, she might even find romance? What Jools isn't banking on is a bidding war between two not-so-eligible bachelors - a wealthy, gay, would-be politician who needs a wife as a cover; and a deranged loner with a newly-refurbished basement prison. Add to that a lecherous father, some soon-to-be-exposed secrets and an addiction to pastries, and Jools is set to discover that nothing comes without a price. . . .From the author of 'Naked in Knightsbridge', winner of the Pink Thong Award 2009-2010 for Most Promising New Author and runner-up for Best Debut Novel comes Nicky Schmidt's much anticipated new book. "That’s what fiction is all about, giving us a story so off the wall you just love it. And love it I did. I eagerly await the next Nicky Schmidt adventure, it’s bound to be just as brilliant. I just hope we don’t have to wait a year and a half for it!" . . . Leah Graham, Chick Lit Reviews. "Marrying Out of Money is a witty example of what happens when your mother meddles in your love life instead of letting nature take its course." . . . ChicklitClub. "I love the humour of this book. The comic moments come thick and fast and help to give pace to the plot as it covers the machinations of the dysfunctional characters. But there are some deeper, more emotional moments as well, particularly in the plot line involving the magnificent Fin." . . . Helen Hunt, Bookersatz "Nicky Schmidt has written a very entertaining book with some larger than life characters. I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it for a light, entertaining read." . . . DotScribbles "'Marrying Out of Money' by Nicky Schmidt is a sort of 'anti-romantic comedy'. The characters were over the top and hilarious, especially the two mothers. But I loved the story behind the Lou and Harry, how the young kids want to marry for love and not just money, stability, or titles." . . . Samantha, Chicklit Plus. "There's a surprising amount of deep and meaningful issues looked at in what is at first glance a light hearted book. These involve family, background, health and what it takes to keep a business prosperous. People would go to extreme lengths to get what they want, although the outcome isn't always what they imagined. I loved the end of the book, because several of the characters end up somewhere different. I'll definitely be rereading this one!" . . .
