I adore Molly Harper. I am a big fan of her "Nice Girls..." series. She has a penchant for weaving in humor throughout her stories and making you invest in her characters. I thought I would give her fiction a shot and I was not disappointed. They're bit chick litish, but ya know. those are super fun from time to time.
"Kentucky Tourism Commission employee Bonnie Turkle is up Mud Creek
without a paddle. When she gets permission from the state historical
society to restore McBride’s Music Hall in Mud Creek, Kentucky, to its
former glory, she thinks the community will welcome her with open arms.
Instead, her plans interfere with a proposal to sell the property to a
factory that would bring much-needed jobs to the town.
Even
though Bonnie is trying to preserve mayor Will McBride’s family
heritage, he is more concerned with the welfare of his people than
memories of the past. Will finds her optimistic sentimentality extremely
annoying—but that doesn’t stop him from kissing Bonnie senseless.
With
an inspection deadline looming and local saboteurs ruining her
restoration, Bonnie must find a way to compromise with Will to save
McBride’s and the town…while hopefully winning a few more kisses in the process!"
I give it 3.5 cups of sugar.
