The Secret of St. Claire

Tess

While Pitifully Ugly by this same author made me laugh the whole way through, this book had me smiling the entire time. It is not like so may other formulaic romance novels where girl meets girl, spends most of the book fighting their feelings, get together, have a falling out, and then work it out. Instead, when the two acknowledge their feelings, you get to spend the rest of the book envious of their love and passion. They do face obstacles, but thankfully it's not from a horrible lack of communication and self doubt.

You might think that the lack of angst will make it boring, not so. You will get to know and love the characters in the book, the families, the kids and pets and old women with guns. The character development and skill with which the author tells a story is top-notch and refreshing. And there is no lack of passion, even here in the podunk sheltered small town. so you wont be left wanting in that area.

And who doesn't love when the seemingly backwards woman that always does what's right takes control when you least expect it?

I am now a huge fan of this author's style of telling stories and will be moving on to read everything else she has written.
