Desperate
times call for desperate measures.
At her core,
merchandising maven Sophia Anton is an old-fashioned girl. To start a family by
age 30, she'll do what’s needed to make sparks fly with an old friend -
including a crash diet. But when Sophia meets Jackson Thomas, the handsome new
minister in town, she quickly finds she’s playing with fire. Sophia's new look
is working like a charm to snag the man of her dreams, so why is it Jackson's
face she sees when she closes her eyes?
Jackson,
whose troubled past has led him to adopt a life of celibacy, never expects to
feel hot under the collar for a woman of his own parish. How can Jackson dream
of a future with Sophia after he's shut the door on love?

I picked this up because
it sounded like a nice romance with lots of feels. I was right, but...I got a
lot more too!
Sophia is approaching
thirty and wants to be married and have children. She has been in love with her
friend Christopher a ballet dancer that has a thing for skinny women. She is
far from skinny o is going on a crash diet to win him over.
Her friend Kate volunteers
Sophia to do sausages for the church festival and she meets the new minister
Jackson. Jackson starts getting Sophia
to help him with things around the church like dinners for a dying man and his
wife ( this is so sweetly sad a scene) Rescuing a homeless woman and friending
her ( this wone is twisted and sad but happy too) and so on. Things happen that
push her and Jackson apart. I was looking for a typical romance and I thought I
had it all figured out then BOOM was I taken for a surprise ride! And not only
once. My mouth hung open when Sophia comes back to town and finds out some
things about Jackson But maybe....that is for another twist.
So this story is quite
amazing, with lots of twists and turns and you don't want to put it down. All
of the characters are well developed and full of personality and lend something
to the story.
I listened on audio and
the narration was Ok. It had a tinny quality of sound and the narrator paused
for breath a bit but all in all, it was quite good and I think fit the story
well.
Nell writes contemporary
romances about complex women and the men who can't resist them. Her sweet but
sexy stories feature everyday people overcoming modern obstacles to love. A
mother of three, happily married for more than twenty years, Nell believes
every person deserves to be the protagonist of a great love story. She spends
quiet mornings walking her dogs and working out details of her novels, and
afternoons in private practice as a reading instructor for children with
dyslexia.
