"Pure fun to read"

DC lobbyist Tiffany Albright is tired of the Washington scene with the phony smiles that never touch one face so when her long time friend Susie Dolinger invites her to spend a week during the St. Patrick's Day festivities in Savannah she flees for the south. The Iowa native figures she has earned some fun in the sun hopefully with a hunk with no power ties or even a suit.

Former Atlanta now DC lawyer Chance McMann thinks his trip to Savannah cannot get any worse since the airline lost his luggage, and his car and hotel rentals are nonexistent. That is until he seeks some clothing for the weekend. Being a large, he is forced to buy a T-shirt that says "Irish Would You Kiss Me". Chance and Tiffany meet and hit it off, but he realizes she thinks he is local yokel and not a DC attorney. Tiffany wants a fling, but Chance desires much more.

Though readers will understand Tiffany's frustrations, she comes across at times out of character. Susie recognizes that the conservative daughter of a Congressman from Iowa does not seek hunks even on vacation so that her needs seem off kilter. On the other hand the lead male is the type of intelligent caring bod that women will gladly take a chance on, starched suit or inane T-shirt. Together they make a heated yet amusing tale that the audience will appreciate.

Fed up with the parade of stuffy, self-serving men she meets as a Washington D.C. lobbyist and congressman's daughter, Tiffany Albright decides while visiting sultry Savannah that the antidote is a weekend fling with a good- time guy. But Chaunce McMann Jr., the man she chooses for the adventure, is a D.C. lawyer in town to do a political favor. And she won't let him explain he's not exactly the laid-back guy she thinks he is.

Summary

What's a sexy D.C. blue blood doing in sultry Savannah? Cutting loose — that's what! Tiffany Albright trashes her conservative suits and corporate briefcase for a few days of fun, fun, fun. She's lobbying for a weekend fling with a hot guy. He has to be a free spirit — she's tired of tired men with fake smiles, weak handshakes and schmoozey political favors.

When a silly T-shirt puts Chance McMann in Tiffany's path, he's not sure whether it's the best or worst thing that's ever happened to him. Sure, he's attracted to Tiffany — she's bold, beautiful and built — but she won't let him explain that he's not exactly the laid-back guy she thinks he is. In fact, the phrase stuffed shirt could easily be linked to his name.

As fate would have it, Tiffany leaves Chance in the bedroom only to discover that everything she thinks to be true — isn't!
