Laura Briggs
Inspirational romance
Available from White Rose Publishing
August 2010

Lannie Maxwell is on the verge of losing her bookstore when a last ditch effort to turn sales around backfires. She has engaged Ms. Modern Homemaker for a book signing event, instead a leather-clad fiction novelist shows up. He has ideas to boost her profits, but can these two opposites find common ground in business and pleasure?

This was a fun and adventuresome inspirational romance. Dex is a wonderful hero and I love how he embraces life. He touched my heart with his sensitivity and generosity. It took me a little bit to warm up to Lannie because of her literary snobbery and I found her condescending and a trifle arrogant, but who am I to judge? I appreciated how a slight mix up could cause such a snowball of events to occur and I enjoyed watching every moment unfold. The supporting characters were well written and entertaining and I'd like to see some of them make another appearance, perhaps even a starring role in their own adventure. The plot was refreshing, the pace was good and I hated to see the story come to an end.

Overall rating:
Sensuality rating: Sweet
