"Zany plot and hilarious characters."

Flip on your TV set, find the hottest, cutest woman strutting the products on the home shopping network and you've met Felicity Charm. She ditched a crazy family and a background she's ashamed of and remade herself into a modern, confident woman.

But a car accident that sends her plunging off the road is the beginning of the end of the world she's painfully created. Rescued by Michael Magee, Felicity dumps her persona for a night of wild passion, thinking to never see him again.

Uh-oh. She's pulled home by a family problem and finds herself meeting her cousin's soon-to-be fiancé -- Michael.

Suddenly, Felicity is questioning everything in her life. And being around her insane family has her aching to run for the nearest airport and reclaim the world she's hidden herself inside. Maybe the image she has created isn't the right place to be, after all. It definitely seems lonely without Michael.

Ms. Ridgway is just plain fun. Always. In the midst of her zaniest plots, you'll find yourself falling for the characters and laughing out loud. Felicity is one of those uptight women with the wrong priorities who make me want to shake them. Despite that, there's something likeable about her character (maybe it's just her crazy family, all of whom I relate to!). You'll enjoy this light read.
