Romance is sexy. And often funny, and sometimes tangled up with suspense. Let’s face it: all sorts of things get mixed up with romance in real life. Piper Denna’s stories are not cut-and-dried romance. Her characters deal with issues female readers can relate to: independence and trust, empowerment, inhibition, an unfaithful partner, motherhood. Sometimes her characters make mistakes, and often her “bad guys” are not 100% bad. She hopes to take the reader on an emotional journey to a happy ending…with enviable sexual encounters along the way. When she’s not writing, she edits, talks about life daily with her two twenty-something kids along with her husband, and collects scrapbooking material. She enjoys books—or movies—with a comedic twist and hopefully a love story with lots of tension, too. Sexiest parts of a man in Piper’s opinion? The hands and eyes. Shoulders are nice too, and of course, great pecs are never amiss…
One day I'm going to make a chart. Sometimes I get a book for a fairly good reason, but by the time I get to it on the TBR pile, I can't figure out why it's on my list. This is one of those books.
After the first sex scene on one of the first pages, I almost put it down. But I soldiered on. I'm not sure what to say. It was a romance, of sorts. Our intrepid heroine falls in love with an unlikely hero - the cable guy. Her husband is a cheating, sort-of jerk. That part of the book, I got.
The very detailed side story of her abused and crazy childhood friend Shurre (yes, that's the spelling. I have NO idea how that's pronounced.), was another book entirely. That story did not mesh with the romance, at all.
The writing wasn't great in the beginning, but got stronger as the book wore on. Perhaps if I liked golf, abuse stories, or romances where the sex seems somewhat divorced from the love, then maybe I would have liked it more.
