Recommendation
If you enjoy a plot like Party of Five, love reading about gossip… then you’ll love this romantic comedy where the small town has their own version of TMZ. The family dynamic will have you clamoring for the next Bailey sibling’s story, but I loved that Piper started with the oldest. Austin put his own dreams on hold to help raise his siblings and now he’s finally found a woman that could change his mind. I never felt overloaded with all the characters, Piper wrote each sibling and secondary character perfectly and easily identifiable.
Excerpts
He smiles through our kiss and I melt into the couch, feeling as though I have it all with him in my arms.
Grabbing the bottle of whipped cream, I say, "I gotta get you messy before I can clean you up."
Publisher synopsis
If you’re a guy like me, and you find yourself having banged your sexy new boss—the school principal—in the back of your Jeep one drunken night, here’s a few takeaways based on my experience…
Lesson One: Always get her FULL name.
Lesson Two: Consider asking what she does for a living.
Lesson Three: Find out why she’s moved to town. Get details. Details are crucial.
Lesson Four: Don’t alter her bio in front of an auditorium of high school students unless you know she has a sense of humor for that sort of thing.
Lesson Five: If you ignore Lesson Four, apologize instead of flirt when you’re sent to the principal’s office.
Lesson Six: NEVER sleep with her again.
Lesson Seven: Pay attention to this one—it’s the most important of them all.
Don’t fall for your one-night stand.
Class dismissed.
