Fence Posts: A Romantic Comedy

by Michelle Renea Anderson

Mike Andrews, an electrical engineering student, knew better than to wager with his cousin Shelby because she never gambled. She only made bets that she was sure to win. But in a moment of impulsivity, he had made the bet anyway and now he had to go on a date with Shelby's burned out, exhausted nurse friend. Having just moved to Salt Lake to escape a failed relationship he wasn't about to start another. But he would do the honorable thing and take Laura out on one date. She had gorgeous legs, how bad could it be?
Nurse Laura wasn't happy about the date either. She wants excitement, not an unadventurous man who passes out at the sight of blood. Laura also has more than a few criteria her future one-and-only must meet. Her mother compares those to fence posts that she will just end up ripping out anyway. But Mike doesn't believe in dummy wiring, so he decides to show Laura Carter just how much of a spark he can have--with some pretty hilarious results.

About the author

Although her husband will claim no knowledge of it, Michelle Renea Anderson attended Brigham Young University back in the dark ages before she ran out of money and transferred to the rival school, The University of Utah. Consequently, her favorite colors are Red, White and Blue (not necessarily in that order).

Unfortunately, her education did not prepare her for taking care of her sons' goldfish. Three groups of fish died prematurely before she dropped the tank and took that opportunity to give up keeping fish. Her BIG house dogs, Prince and Pauper, have fared much better.

[Cheltzey Newman · Rating 3.75 out of 5]

This book was such a fun read! I read a lot of Jack Weyland in my teens and early twenties and this book took me back to those stories. There were some real laugh-out-loud moments for me and I thought it was a cute and comical story. There were a few times that I yearned for a bit deeper character development and a parts of the story felt rushed. Over all, though, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this exciting, budding relationship!
