"Fun and a joy to read!"

Kathie DeNosky has done it again. This book was a joy to read. It brought a huge smile to my face and tears to my eyes!

Brenna Montgomery and her Granny Abigail have just moved to Tranquility when an old man accosts Brenna on the street and gives her a resounding smack on the cheek and welcomes her to the town. She is so astounded that she immediately goes to the Sheriff and complains about men kissing her on the street. Dylan Chandler cannot believe this woman is complaining of something so trite especially since the old man in question is his Uncle Pete. Dylan had been warning Pete for years that he would get in trouble one of these days.

The next thing Dylan knows is Brenna has formed an arts and crafts class for the ladies of Tranquility and the men want Dylan to spy and make sure the Beautification Society (better known as the B. S. Club) isn't getting any kind of crazy ideas again. Dylan reluctantly agrees but decides that he would rather use the time to get to know Brenna better. Brenna is attracted to Dylan but she wants no part of another relationship as her last one ended quite badly.

Meanwhile Abigail and Pete have a plan up their sleeve and all they have to do is keep throwing Dylan and Brenna together for it to work. Needless to day, Pete and Abigail seem to be spending lots of time together themselves. Hmmmmm, will anything come of that?

I just loved everything about this book from the main characters to the secondary characters to the entire town. Abigail had me in stitches and Pete was equally as funny. I highly recommend this book. Kathie DeNosky can't write fast enough for me!

Summary

"WHAT YOU NEED IS A MAN!"

Brenna Montgomery's meddlesome grandmother was determined to see her wedded—and she'd chosen Dylan Chandler as Brenna's prospective groom. But Brenna didn't want a sexy, Stetson-wearing lawman who sent shivers up her spine and made her weak in the knees. She knew if she gave in to Granny's matchmaking, she'd be risking her already-bruised heart.

Feisty, sophisticated and lovely, Brenna was the type of woman Dylan avoided. Yet duty demanded he check out this new gal in town and keep her under close watch. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't get Brenna off his personal Most Wanted list. But was he prepared to pay the price of his soul-stirring sedution: marriage?
