Fancy-Free
"THERE'S A NAKED WOMAN ON MAIN STREET!"
Things have gotten interesting since Fancy O'Brien came to town. (She's the naked woman. But don't worry--she made strategic use of some bubbles.) Now the whole town's in an uproar....
Some of the residents don't approve of her taking a bath--literally--to publicize the opening of her bath boutique. But others are glad the sassy and sexy Fancy has arrived. Especially Jeremiah Quick. He's a "leading citizen" and drop-dead gorgeous to boot. And he thinks Fancy's the right woman for him. Too bad Fancy thinks he's the right man for her mother....

About the author
Carrie Alexander
102 books47 followersThere was never any doubt that Carrie Antilla would have a creative career. As a two-year-old, she imagined dinosaurs on the lawn. By six it was witches in the bedroom closet. Soon she was designing elaborate paper-doll wardrobes and writing stories about Teddy the Bear. Eventually she graduated to short horror stories and oil paints. She was working as an artist and a part-time librarian when she "discovered" her first romance novel and thought, "Hey, I can write one of these!" So she did.
Carrie Alexander is now the author of several books for various Harlequin lines, with many more crowding her imagination, demanding to be written. She has been a RITA and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice finalist, but finds her greatest reward in becoming friends with her readers, even if it's only for the length of a book.
Carrie lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the long winters still don't give her enough time to significantly reduce her to-be-read mountains of books. When she's not reading or writing (which is rare), she is painting and decorating her own or her friends' houses, watching football, and shoveling snow. She loves to hear from readers, who can contact her by e-mail: carriealexander1@aol.com

Ich habe es mir ganz idyllisch vorgestellt: Ein grauer, regnerischer Tag+ warme Decke+ Lumumba+ ein kurzes, anspruchsloses Buch. So habe ich es früher, als ich noch ein sechzehnjähriges Teeny war, ab und zu praktiziert. Harlequin-Bücher haben bekanntlich eine niedrige Qualität. Auch mit 16 habe ich nur 10% von diesen Büchern tatsächlich gelesen. Den Rest musste ich entweder querlesen (50% der Fälle), oder nach den ersten zwanzig Seiten komplett aufgeben (die restlichen 40%).
Heute, einige Jahre später, hat es noch schlechter funktioniert als damals. Die ersten zehn Bücher habe ich schon nach den ersten drei Seiten weggelegt. Mit anderen vier habe ich es maximal neun Seiten durchgehalten. Und dann… waren die ersten zwei Lumumba-Tassen leer und ich habe Fancy in die Hand bekommen. Es war… ok zum querlesen. Die Idee war originell (sprich für die Harlequin-Standards originell), Fancy nur eingeschränkt dumm und die Dialoge nur teilweise idiotisch.
Kurz zusammengefasst, wie befürchtet, je jünger oder je alkoholisierter man ist, desto für dieses Buch besser.
