Sibley Sisters #2
At First Touch
Take Two
Daytime television diva Quinn Sibley may be down, but she's definitely not out. While rumors of her overbearing ego have doors slamming in her face, she's planning the perfect comeback. But she's got to return to a place--and a man--she thought she'd left for good. Is tiny Sibleyville, California, ready for a Hollywood invasion--or Quinn Sibley?
When handsome Wyatt Granger, the town's reluctant mortician, discovers a film crew outside his door, he's determined not to let beautifully outrageous Quinn knock him off his feet...again. He's still searching for the right woman, one who is quiet, shy and doesn't resemble the impossibly sensual siren who has haunted his dreams for a year. Try as he will, ignoring Quinn is as impossible as denying a little Hollywood magic.

This is a reread for me, and I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed this book in the quirky little town of Sibleyville. I really wish Tamara Sneed were still writing. Sigh.
How many times do you read about a mortician as a hero, who hates being a mortician and gets queasy around dead bodies, and would rather be doing landscape architecture? Or how about a selfish, narcissistic heroine (that mothers don't like) who's a washed up actress with breast implants? And you still liked them both? Doesn't happen too often.
I liked the main characters, Wyatt and Quinn, and I also enjoyed reading how they interacted with Quinn's other siblings. Charlie, Miss Goody-Goody, baking Christmas cookies and being lovey-dovey with her husband, making everyone nauseous. Kendra, whose hard-as-nails exterior provides comic relief, but you'd probably never want her as your own sister because she's way too blunt.
Wyatt never could hide his attraction to Quinn, and once they finally kissed, the sparks between them could have started a forest fire. They were both complex characters and vulnerable in their own way. Although Quinn's motives were far from honorable in the beginning, once she accepted her feelings for Wyatt and accepted that he liked her the way she was--without any special lighting and with all her imperfections, I knew they could make it. I liked the little town aspect and the secondary characters that they were able to play off of.
This is a good, solid read.

Love at First Touch
"At First Touch", is the second installment in the "Sibley Sisters" series and I found it to be just as entertaining as the first book. Once again, Ms. Sneed captured the feel of a small country town, the attractions, the gossip, and the sense of community, it made the imaginary town of "Sibleyville" feel so real, especially with the Christmas holiday. I enjoy this family they are funny as all get out! The characters, main and secondary will definitely have you LOL at their antics throughout. It's like watching a romantic comedy. Despite several typos, Ms. Sneed creates a pleasant storyline and the dialogue is quite witty. The chemistry between Wyatt and Quinn is electric and comical. The love scenes were very sensual! When Quinn is with Wyatt, he seems to bring out the best in her. He makes her feel comfortable enough to drop the "ALL ABOUT ME" act she always put on for everyone else. Wyatt makes her want be totally honest with him. He makes her feel free for the first time in her life. Even though she keeps him at arms length in the beginning, she slowly starts to see Wyatt in a new light, when he smiles at her and when she looks in his eyes, she can't deny the desire that's clearly evident. But does he see the REAL Quinn or is he seeing the "daytime television diva" like most men. Can their love survive their differences?!! Will Quinn just use Wyatt to get what she wants?!! Is Wyatt willing to take a leap of faith with Quinn or will he remain in the security of his small town mortuary doing a job he's absolutely no good at and doesn't enjoy at all?!! Overall it's a very enjoyable, quick read! Can't wait find out what happens with Kendra Sibley.
