An irresistible new love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fool’s Gold series, a town Library Journal calls “so appealing, readers will want to start scoping out real estate.”
To overcome her painful past, baker Shelby Gilmore goes on the hunt for a friend – a male friend – to convince her stubborn psyche that men can be trusted. But where in a town as small as Fool’s Gold will the petite blonde find a guy willing to not date her?
Dark, charming Aidan Mitchell puts the “adventure” in Mitchell Adventure Tours…and into the beds of his many willing female tourists. Until he realizes he’s inadvertently become that guy – the one-night Casanova – and worse, everyone in town knows it. Maybe Shelby’s boy/girl experiment will help him see women as more than just conquests so he can change his ways and win back his self-respect.
As Aidan and Shelby explore the secret lives of men and women, the heat between them fires up the Fool’s Gold rumor mill. If no one will believe they’re just friends, maybe they should give the gossips something to really talk about!
What a way to go! I’m reviewing this with mixed emotions.Â
Pleasant, no effort required Susan Mallery is the first to admit that she’s a formulaic writer, and any fan of hers knows the basic construction of her novels. This is the umpteenth book set in Fool’s Gold, a small and friendly town filled with high-achieving, handsome and well-to-do men and attractive (or lovely), energetic and engaging women. This may be the 16th book in the series – I’ve lost count, but I’ve read them all. By now, the town is absolutely cluttered with couples from previous entries, and it’s really…
Another Formulaic Story This is an entertaining and typical read; although it is a sort of childish romance. This book is written using Ms Mallery’s usual recipe, so there is no need for thinking while reading the book.Â
