wild, weird, and wacky

THE FAMILY FEUD by Carol Finch. In Oz, Oklahoma Jan Mitchell is frustrated with her parents separating after three plus decades of marriage. Her dad wants to go touring while her mom wants her dress shop to succeed. Hardware storeowner Morgan Price tries to help Jan negotiate a compromise and peace settlement between her parents even as he has his own personal agenda to marry Jan. Carol Finch provides an amusing tale of discordant relationships that will keep the audience laughing especially with mom's theory of the male's spot in nature's food chain. STOP THE WEDDING! by Jennifer Drew. The hunt for her wedding dress has so far proven futile for Stacy Moore. In her fifth store, two thugs kidnap Stacy. Nick Franklin, accompanying his mother on her wedding dress quest, tries to intercede, but is knocked out with a six-pack. Stacy and Nick need to work as a team if they are to escape from their kidnappers. As they flee, Stacy and Nick fall in love. Jennifer Drew combines a very humorous romantic romp that is almost short of impossible into a wonderful satirical tale that keeps the reader amused with the antics of the cast. These two irrelevant stories are what Duets is all about: wild, weird, and wacky, but wonderfully warm and witty.Harriet Klausner

Terrific fun! Highly recommended

Duets once again provide a hearty dose of love and zany humor with two fun novels. Both stories are delightfully amusing as Carol Finch and Jennifer Drew provide romantic romps that have become a trademark of the Duets line. This Duets selection, part of the Bad Boy Grooms series, will definitely keep the reader highly entertained with its outrageous hilarity. THE FAMILY FEUD by Carol Finch: Living in Oz, Oklahoma does not guarantee a happily-ever-after for Jan Mitchell's dysfunctional family. After thirty-three years her parents have split up. Her father wants to tour the country from a Winnebago, while her mother wants to advance her career at her dress shop. Jan's high school crush Morgan Price owns the hardware store across the street from her mother' dress shop, and employees her father part-time. Consequently, with the elder Mitchells not on speaking terms, it falls to Jan and Morgan to barter for peace and reconciliation. But Jan finds Morgan as infuriating as he was in high school, and his plans to reconcile her parents outrageous!Finch has a gift for creating dysfunctional families and ridiculous situations that result in a humorous read. Middle aged, fickle parents trying to recapture their youth, a change in the groom a month before Jan's sister's wedding, and well meaning but meddlesome small town interference keep the fun coming. And there's always my personally favorite line, spoken during a mother/daughter pity party: "[Men are] the bottom feeders in the cesspool of life."STOP THE WEDDING! by mother/daughter writing team Jennifer Drew: After five dress shops, bride-to-be Stacy Moore still hasn't found the right wedding dress. As she tries on yet another, she's distracted by sexy stranger Nick Franklin, who's accompanied his mother while she tries on wedding dresses. Then two strangers kidnap Stacy and bash Nick over the head with a six-pack when he tries to be her knight in shining armor and rescue her. Now Stacy and Nick must combine efforts to escape the six-pack wielding kidnappers. A wild romp across an island in an effort to escape their kidnappers leads Stacy and Nick into extreme circumstances and the discovery of love and forever can begin in the most unlikely of situations. Writing team Jennifer Drew bring their marvelous talent for deftly combining humor with the improbable to STOP THE WEDDING! An Elvis cake, served on a bedspread the King might have slept on, and combat boots worn with wedding dresses serve as a backdrop as this hero and heroine escape their kidnappers. Even the method of kidnapping, will keep readers in stitches. Lighthearted vibrant characters make this an incredibly amusing read.

Jennifer Drew Rocks!

Stacy Moore is engaged to be married, but she's having a tough time finding just the right wedding gown. In the middle of yet another shopping trip she finds herself kidnapped along with a good looking, white-knight-wanna-be, who gets knocked out with a cold six pack.Nick Franklin may be looking for the right occupation, but he's crossing rescuing damsels in distress off his list of possibilities. This damsel isn't just in distress, she's distressing him. If she wasn't engaged and practically married, he could think of a thousand things he'd like to do with her. But instead he tries to be noble and pushes her aside. So what's a knight in slightly tarnished armor supposed to do with a damsel who's distressing him?Jennifer Drew pens a story that will make you laugh and leave your heart warmed to the core!
