"A Laugh Out Loud Romance!!"

Setting: Present day, Erie, Pennsylvania

Ever since lawyer, Jack Templeton, broke off with his last girlfriend, Sandy, he's almost convinced he doesn't have what it takes to make a serious relationship last. To get his mind off his failure, he throws himself wholeheartedly into his work, pouring over his briefs for hours on end. A short phone call from Carrie, his best friend, suddenly has him rushing over like a madman, imagining all sorts of gory possibilities only to find her predicament is nothing like he believed. Carrie's going to the beach, and she needs her legs waxed. Only thing is, it hurts too much to pull the strips off so she expects Jack to do it! She then announces to Jack that since she recently broke up with her boyfriend, and she's got tickets to a 'couples-only' beach resort, she plans to find a nice man to take her. Automatically, Jack's protective instincts kick into overdrive. He can't let her find a stranger to take her to a beach resort. Lord only knows what sort of trouble she'd find. After all, he's been looking after Carrie and rescuing her from her follies for so many years now, it's almost second nature to him. He insists that he be the one to accompany her. However, this time, he bites off more than he can chew!

Carrington Rose Delany has loved Jack Templeton since she moved in next door to him as a child, but he's never seen her as more than his best friend, his buddy, his 'almost sister'. Aware that he's been pushing himself too hard as he mourns the loss of his last relationship, she decides it's time for some subterfuge. She intends to trick Jack into taking a vacation with her, and she's got just the plan to do it successfully! Announcing to him that she's looking for a new boyfriend just so she can go to a 'couples-only' resort, she pushes all the right buttons to trick him into playing the role of a rescuing knight again. Of course, Jack falls for it hook, line and sinker and soon they're on their way for one week of fun in the sun. Except this time, Carrie's plan doesn't go quite as she expected it to!

I WAXED MY LEGS FOR THIS? is an absolutely delightful tale. Holly Jacobs has penned a hilarious story with rich lively characters that will have readers laughing right to the very end!

I adored Carrie; here is a heroine with plenty of spunk, a delicious sense of humor and a daring sense of adventure. Carrie has had Jack wrapped around her little finger ever since she moved in next door to him as a child. No wonder she actually got him to sift through her puppy's 'byproducts' for the class ring the dog had accidentally swallowed. So expecting him to rush over from work just to pull wax strips off her legs is nothing.

Holly Jacobs has presented readers of romantic comedy with a story they shall not soon forget. Crammed with plenty of hilarious moments and loaded with enough sexual tension to knock your socks off, this is truly an enchanting tale. Ms Jacobs' exceptional talent for penning extremely humorous and captivating romances is clearly evident in I WAXED MY LEGS FOR THIS?

For all lovers of romantic comedy, I WAXED MY LEGS FOR THIS? is simply a must read!
