Rating: Blue – Memorable Good
Blurb:
Roxy Palmer is a walking, breathing cliché. And darned tired of it.
Working as the assistant librarian in her small, Southern home town, Roxy also anonymously pens the local love column, Ask Paula Rockwell—Thorton, Georgia's answer to Dear Abby.
But when the door leading to Roxy's lifetime dream is slammed in her face by one of the good ol' boys, Roxy brings out the big guns—and turns the genteel town upside down with her racier, feminist, home-wrecking new format.
Paula Rockwell is making Sheriff Noah Kennedy's life crazy. He's got angry husbands lined around the block, demanding the cancellation of the column, fights breaking out and women catching their boyfriends' trucks on fire. If he ever gets his hands on that woman…
But he's got his hands full of Roxy at the moment, and if he ever discovers the truth about Roxy, all hell will break loose.
Review:
Jenny Gillian has written a story that is enjoyable to read because of her ability to place you with the scene. The chemistry between the heroine Roxy and hero Noah is carried throughout the book.
Roxy takes her frustration of not receiving a bank loan to start her own business by writing a few honest replies to her Dear Abby column. Not everyone in town is happy with the change of advice as the women start to stand up for themselves. Nor do people suspect that the assistant librarian is the cause of all this trouble.
As Sheriff of the town, Noah is not pleased that his once peaceful job is turned upside down. To make matters worse, he now has to deal with his reaction to seeing his good pal Roxy naked. When they give into the passion that is building between them, Roxy knows she has to tell Noah the truth about her identity.
The interesting thing about this book is that you get more than just Roxy and Noah’s point of view. An element added to its appeal for me.
In all a great read.
