Publisher Description

This Can't Be Happening
Is he flirting with me? I must be imagining things. Why would Mason Sweet, the gorgeous mayor of Millbrook, Maine, the man I've secretly been in love with since seventh grade, flirt with me? He's the town golden boy, and I'm, well, the local librarian. The Stepp sister who stayed close to home. The one who bakes brownies. . .then eats them all. My thighs make that whick-whick-whick sound in pantyhose. He can't possibly be flirting with me. So why is he giving me that melt-you-where-you-stand look? Why is he pulling me close? And what is he whispering in my ear. . .
Sorry, could you repeat that? Now I'm hearing things, because I swear Mason just asked me if I'd like to. . .well, he wasn't asking for a book recommendation, let's put it that way. Oh my, my, my. Okay, Ellie, stop blushing like a teenaged girl. I'm sure he didn't mean it. Maybe I should just alphabetize something. Be the good girl everyone expects. Eat another brownie. Forget this ever happened.
So why is it I can't stop myself from saying, "Yes. . .."
Customer Reviews
Love the writer, but. . .
I really loved another book written by this author, but this book was unexpectedly depressing. I've never known a woman who let herself be treated that way by an alcoholic just because she liked the sex. Sex. Really? Even that would have been tolerable if the sex scenes weren't skipped over to the next morning--like Mason-- I really needed a little something to get me through this book. A really depressing read. Seriously. The guys a drunk for all of the book. She goes through her entire pregnancy alone and saddened by it. I feel like I need a drink after reading this. I'm a true optimist, but for the first time I really wanted this gut to end up alone, forced to watch his kid be raised by some better guy. To be fair, I do love the way she writes. I'm just a bit put out I spent money in this one. Yuk! I can't get the bad taste out of my mouth. Hours wasted. Shucks! Oh, the girl in this book sees herself as fat and unattractive the whole book, which was a nice touch. And a thirty year old virgin. Tee-hee. The guy is supposed to be beautiful, of course, but smells like the sidewalk. Nice, no?
