Going Topless
What does predictable Susannah Carmack do when confronted
with her late husband's infidelity? What any
self-respecting widow might. She allows her sister,
Chelsie, to drag her on vacation to Amsterdam, where she
gets lost in the Red Light District, is pursued by a
younger man, and sunbathes on a topless beach. But will
going topless help her escape the pain of the past?
Chelsie Joyner has always believed a roll in the hay can
cure what ails her. But her free lifestyle never helped
her forget Martijn, a married professor with whom she had
an affair five years ago while doing graduate work in
Amsterdam. She's determined to find closure on this trip.
But when her adulterous affair is made known, can
Susannah, still smarting from her husband's betrayal,
forgive Chelsie for the ultimate sin?

"I came up with the plot idea for Going Topless
while sitting on a canal in Amsterdam looking out at all
the history and romance of the city. I figured it would be
the perfect setting for a story about two sisters looking
for love. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed
writing it." ~ Renee ~

for Going Topless
5 Flags:
"FANTABULOUS! Absolutely entertaining,
charming, witty and real! Renee Knowles is definitely in
touch with her feminine side as she breathes life into the
various female characters of this book, allowing them to
grow and develop as the story progresses. The European
setting and additional references to pop culture were well
written (a bonus was her knowledge of Tracy Chevalier and
love for Colin Firth). A must read!" —Aya,
Euro-Reviews
5 Roses:
"Going Topless is an erotic trip not
for the faint of heart. The passion and spark will have
you wanting more. Renee Knowles is hot, hot, hot!!!
Renee has captured the true meaning of friendship between
these three amazing women and filled their characters with
so much spunk, sass and outward sensuality, that I could
not pick one I liked best. Cheers, Renee, for a huge hit!" —Deb,

5 Kisses:
"Going Topless by Renee Knowles is about
three women and their journey of self-discovery. Susannah
must learn that age is really just a number, especially
when she meets a sexy German lover 15 years her junior.
What she learns about herself helps her blossom into the
woman she will become. Chelsie has to learn that being the
life of the party and never being emotionally attached has
a price. The things you do, you eventually pay for. She
grows up a lot in this book and puts her friendship with
her sister to the ultimate test. As for Mattie, you’re
going to love her. She's a shy wallflower who blossoms
into the beautiful butterfly. I want to borrow the guy she
ends up with. Dang he is hot! I would even get a tattoo
just for him! Renee Knowles is a brilliant author. She
really understands the different journeys all women go
through in their lives. You will really not regret
Going Topless." —Tina, Two Lips Reviews

Enchantments:
"This is a heartwarming story of love,
betrayal, and self-discovery, as three women venture
through uncharted emotional territory and realize who they
truly are. I enjoyed this story and how it unfolded and
developed. Renee Knowles did a terrific job taking three
completely different personalities, leading them through
turmoil as well as self-discovery, and bringing them
through to a happy ending. Very good read, and definitely
chic lit." —Desiree Douglas, Enchanting Reviews
"Going Topless is
beautifully written, erotic, and, best of all—fun! I
loved following these characters on their European journey
learning about love and, most importantly, themselves.
This is a great read." —Theresa
