Marianne Wilson has had it up to her eyeballs with her meddling mother. She puts up
with digs and barbs about her dull love life, but dating the bland keeps her from worrying
about ending up like her parents. Undeterred, Marianne’s mother sets up what she
considers the latest perfect match, and more than just Marianne is caught in the
proverbial crosshairs.
Nick Galanapolous is suffering the same painful affliction as Marianne. His mother is cut
from the same sort of busy body cloth. Like Marianne, he has no desire to be party to
her schemes, but for a very good reason. As an extremely successful divorce attorney,
he sees daily the effects of well intentioned relationships horribly soured. Content with
the single life, he will never subject himself to the possibility of ending up like one of his
clients.
The mothers' plottings are blown out of the water at a dinner party gone bad and it
leaves Marianne and Nick to commiserate together. Understanding draws them closer
together and soon they hatch their own plan as attractions grow between them. They
steal away for dates, building their affections slowly for Marianne’s sake. The most
important part of the entire situation is to keep the dating a secret from the mothers.
The book is laden with absolutely hilarious moments, leaving me laughing to the point of
tears. The author captures the busy body mothers to the point where you swear they are
people you know in your own life. The wariness of Marianne is understandable. Nick’s
jaded nature makes perfect sense. How she entwines those complications and brings
them together is sweet and sexy. Get this book. You will laugh, you will sigh. It is laden
with humor and realities readers can relate to. Add this one to your must read
collection.
