Might be my work for her uncle’s legal defense.
Or the dubious ways I earned my millions.
Or the scandal that cost my career. Or hell.
Maybe it’s just that I’m not a nice guy.
A fact I’m regretting once Lucy storms in and gets me rethinking my rule on dating single moms.
She’s funny and smart and so sexy it shouldn’t be legal.
Take it from a disbarred lawyer.
One desperate to dodge this desire sparking like frayed wires in a champagne flute of kerosene.
A few stolen kisses and I’m suddenly starved for simple life on this sweet lake, but that’s absurd.
Guys like me don’t belong in small towns. Towns this charming, this good, this…pure.
It should be easy staying chaste with Lucy, since our encounters include a precocious pre-teen, one misguided bat, and a goat who won’t take no for an answer.
But nothing’s easy with a woman born to boss five grumpy brothers.
Big as they are, those guys don’t scare me.
Not like my feelings for Luce and her daughter. Those have me quaking in my Gucci loafers.
So does this big-ass secret bearing down like a toxic tsunami.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
I have zero interest in a man like that. Someone suave and self-assured with a body built to singe the panties off unsuspecting women.
“The birds on your back deck got a feast from my failed attempts.” He grabs two slices of bacon. “You haven’t lived until you’ve watched two seagulls fight over a pancake shaped like a penis.” “You made a penis pancake?” “Not intentionally.” He serves himself a heart-shaped one. “It was supposed to be an airplane.”
My Review:
I absolutely reveled in this one as the writing sparkled with clever humor, authentic and delightfully quirky characters, and interesting storylines that kept me invested and engaged throughout. I always enjoy reading Ms. Fenske’s multi-textured and frisky romantic comedies, and this one shines like a glitter ball and is undoubtedly her best yet.
