When a recent divorcee runs
into her teenage crush, the age gap that separates them is no longer
important. What matters now is heating things up without getting another
burn.
Pushing thirty-seven and recently divorced, Clare Darby has gotten
herself into better mental and physical shape and is ready to start
socializing again. Her first foray out is a disappointment that has her
hiding out in her friend's kitchen doing the dishes when a handsome man
from her past walks in. And yes, orthodontist Dr. Guy Foreman is as
drool-worthy today as he was when she was sixteen and crushing on the man
who was fitting her teeth for braces. Their connection is instantaneous
and doesn't seem in the least taboo considering their age difference.
Having focused on his career, Guy Foreman just never found the right
woman to settle down with, but strangely enough he's taking over Clare's
father's orthodontia practice, and Clare and her young daughter Olivia
are taking over his heart. Suddenly, Guy wants the things he's never had;
a wife, a family, a home, a baby. It's what Guy thinks Clare wants too,
but after he pops the question, their relationship seems strangely
uncertain.
Queen of the Chick Lit novella format, the spectacularly hip Joanne
Rawson has produced yet another delectably quirky romantic tale that's
fun to read and rather hard to put down. Featuring the author's signature
preference for a more emotionally mature heroine, a cocktail of realism
with a mixer of relationship angst that's intermingled with moments of
laugh-out-loud humor, Ms. Rawson has another crowd-pleaser on her hands.
Devotees of chick lit who are looking for a quick read with a little
depth, a little drama, and a hunky doctor are certain to enjoy ALWAYS MR.
WRONG.
