One of my all time favorites! I totally enjoyed reading this, and was amazed at how I laughed real hard at the bizarre adventures. There are times in life when fate surrounds you with goofballs and you just can't shake 'em off, so you gotta go with the flow. That's how I felt for the male lead.
If you're thinking of writing a comedy, this book can serve as an incredible reference: it's got the action, the flops, the weird people.. You name it.
Right Chapel, Wrong Couple by Colleen Collins Drake Hogan is in Vegas to see his friend married. When Russell told him one day some woman would bowl him over, he laughed. He was a professional bachelor and quite happy about it. And then he literally got bowled over. A damsel in distress. What could he do but hang around and help her?
Lulu Lewis did not need any man in her life. She had Gramps and the two of them were getting on just fine. She just needed this stranger’s help for a bit to get away from some goons. Every time she noticed what a nice looking stranger he was, she reminded herself that he was like her last guy, a man who would always need more than just her.
A fun story action packed story of Drake, Lulu, Gramps hiding out from some goons. A Corvette named Sylvia and a headstone named Susie came along for the adventure. Not to mention a big goon with no sense, showgirls, diamonds and more. Fun read. http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/...
Shenanigans in Las Vegas. Heroine was quirky, hero was likeable, the story completely unbelievable. (Mobsters! Swallowed diamonds! Grandfather who travels with a tombstone!) Humor was very circumstantial, and yet it's all very, very sweet.
