Two years after her divorce from the controlling and unfaithful Karl, wealthy Vanessa Jared remains unsure about what she wants to do with the rest of her life. While therapy and the support of her two best friends have helped, she still feels unmoored. An unexpected visit from Sheriff Michael Park reveals that his younger sister is engaged to Karl, who is pretending to be a widower. Vanessa agrees to visit Michael’s hometown in Pennsylvania and speak with his sister. When the weather strands Vanessa in town, she and Michael decide to explore their explosive attraction. Their growing closeness teaches them the importance of trusting themselves and those they love. It also allows Vanessa to experience a way of life she never knew she craved and Michael to relax in a way he has never before permitted himself. The eccentric townspeople they encounter provide the novel with depth and levity and also offer tantalizing hints about the next entry in the series.
VERDICT This romantic comedy from LaQuette (Lies You Tell; Jackson) is a sexy and hilarious gem, recommended for all general romance collections.
