"Sometimes fate has plans of its own..."
Cassie Grant is a true romantic... and her radio show
capitalizes on her passion for love. She spends every
night helping her listeners find or strengthen their own
true loves. Just as she is about to find her own happy-
ever-after, life intervenes with the cancellation of her
wedding. Now Cassie is determined to spend her life as a
stereotypical spinster (but with a dog instead of a cat)
who plays matchmaker for everyone else, with no
expectations for her own love life. However, sometimes
fate has other plans... Jonathan Cooper is a divorce lawyer who doesn't believe in
love. How can he, when every day he deals with clients
whose "till death do us part" vows really mean "till I
tire of you." He and Cassie have grown to be good friends
since he moved in next door and the introduction of her
horse-dog brings them even closer. Now that she's suddenly
single, he finds things have changed between them,... and
could it be? Is he actually changing his mind about true
love? Cassie is an effervescent romantic, who tries to put her
rose colored glasses aside, only to find it impossible to
do so. Does this remind some readers of their own rises
and falls on the roller coaster of love? Jonathan is a
complete realist, totally unconvinced that such a thing
as "love" can exist between two people. Watching his
progression from doubting to believing will provide plenty
of amusement for readers. Add in a huge, loveable puppy
and an ex-fiancé who can't let go and this charming story
will carry one away for a few hours to another world. Plenty of tension-charged witty repartee zings back and
forth between the stubborn lovebirds. Night Calls, the
concluding title in the WLVH "Lovehandles" trilogy will,
as with the preceding books, provide ample giggles and
sighs. Holly Jacobs' trademark humor is evident on every
page and sure to please readers. By the conclusion of this
tale, one will have once again fallen in love with
Jonathan and Cassie, and Dudley too. © Kelley A. Hartsell, February 2006. All rights reserved.
