Contemporary Romance
Date Published: 7/15/2013
Alice Cramer is tired of being pitied for her family’s
transgressions, so she resolves to break out of the gutter and into the
spotlight. As long as her local congressman can forget about their checkered
past and help her secure a federal grant to open Harmony Falls Little Theatre,
she’ll be the brightest star in town. But when Alice stands up in church and stops the
congressman’s wedding, she dives headfirst into fresh scandal.
Why is Harmony Fall’s golden boy, Justin Mitchell, speeding down
the interstate sans a new wife but with the local drama queen he’s been trying
his whole life to avoid? Alice Cramer may have saved him the hassle of an
arranged marriage to a woman he didn’t love, but she’s put a business
transaction big enough to save an entire town in jeopardy–not to mention his
reputation.
Soon Alice and Justin are dredging up and indulging in an
attraction that threatens all their dreams and aspirations. But what if life
together is the dream that matters most?

This was a fun story with strong characters and a good storyline and reads very quickly. I enjoyed Alice's character as I could empathize with her and her dilemma of reaching out beyond her comfort zone to be noticed, accepted and approved. Very well written and very much enjoyed. I rate this 4 winks!!

My Review:
This was a sassy tale about a young woman with low expectations, loving Prince Charming, from the right side of town and finding out whether or not her dreams could come true. The handsome congressman had always done the "right thing" and lived up to the expectations of his class and supporters. When he finally realizes who holds his heart and his future, he becomes the man he was meant to be, his own man.This was a fun story with strong characters and a good storyline and reads very quickly. I enjoyed Alice's character as I could empathize with her and her dilemma of reaching out beyond her comfort zone to be noticed, accepted and approved. Very well written and very much enjoyed. I rate this 4 winks!!
