Plain Jane's Secret Life

The Brides of Holly Springs #4

by Cathy Gillen Thacker

Once upon a time, the town of Holly Springs had its very own tomboy...and a darn fine mechanic to boot.

Most people are so used to Hannah Reid's greasy overalls and backward ballcap that they think of their pretty whiz mechanic as "just one of the guys." But all of that will change when Hannah goes on a secret mission - one that requires a couple of sinfully short skirts and way more attention than she anticipated....

For sportscaster Dylan Hart, Hannah Reid is just another part of the Holly Springs clan. They've always been pals. That is, until he glimpses the feisty "plain Jane's" hidden feminine side. Now Dylan can't get her out of his head. But when he overhears a suspicious conversation, Dylan decides someone needs to keep an eye on Hannah...and he's just the guy to do it!

About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

Not much. Felt like I was reading 50 shades part 1 at some point. Too much shagging and the 'mystery' was a bit of a let down.
