Pietra Pete Lang is a modern-day Southern belle who's busy trying to keep her eccentric family from falling into dysfunction. But her mettle is about to be tested--along with her heart--when fireworks ignite between Pete and her brother's divorce attorney.
This is a re-read I’ve had for so long that I have no notes from the original read, I only remember that I really enjoyed it as a rom-com sort of book.
While it’s definitely a rom-com, it’s also definitely dated. The difference just under two decades can make is startling. I spent a lot of time thinking ‘you could not get away with saying that now’, and the total lack of subtlety often made this a trying re-read. But the Florida setting was still enjoyable, as were the eccentric characters in Pete’s family, even if the plot was thin.
