The Complete Package

by Ann Roberts

Adrift for years since her partner’s death and her son’s estrangement, Lenny Barclay isn’t sure what she wants. Her friends despair of cheering her up. Even making her mayor of their idyllic Colorado mountain town doesn’t awaken the joyous, passionate Lenny they once knew.

But the arrival of the corporate planners from the Wilderness Campaign brings back some of Lenny’s fire. They already act like they own the place, including the arrogant Sloane McHenry. Pinedale—and her fractured family—does not need a Fortune 500 fix.

Sloane is always hunting for the complete package and she’s got it in Pinedale. The mayor is a spineless pushover, the site only holds a dilapidated shop owned by the aforementioned mayor and Sloane has a secret weapon that will prove useful should she meet resistance. This project’s not just about profit, either, for reasons she can’t explain—not even to herself.

Reviews

[Lex Kent · Rating 3 out of 5]

2 1/2 Stars. This was just OK to me. I read this book only 2 days ago, but did not have time to write a review. To be honest, I found myself forgetting what I even read 2 days ago since this just did not stick in my mind. It wasn't bad, just not memorable.
Lenny was a great free spirited character. Sloane, well I felt like I didn't know her much except she worked all the time, loves her niece and sleeps with everyone. So eh okay whatever.
While Roberts was trying to make a HEA, I thought the ending was totally thrown together and a bit contrived.
The romance suffered from the same fate as the ending. It was thrown together and not too believable.
So while this wasn't unlikable or bad, it's not memorable and I can't necessarily recommend it.

Great.

I loved The Complete Package. OK. Seriously. All rolled into one book. There is business advice, dating advice and don’t forget the family interaction/or lack thereof advice. Loved it.

It's a very interesting book and the love story is so not the main savor there.
There is a deep background for both main characters and the secondary characters are more than sketched, with intricate stories of there own, which is really enjoyable.

It changed my mind about this writer.

Great side story of a parent figure and daughter relationship. The good and bad times! Didn't understand the issue between the son and mother, never really felt that story was explained. The two main characters relationship left me wanting more, the struggle to get together could have been better.
