Book Overview

Why does Vanessa keep falling for married men? It's not that she plans to. But every man who seems like he might be the one turns out to be someone else's. So maybe the right thing to do is take a vow to stay single, to keep away from all men, until she can figure things out. At least work is a haven: Vanessa loses herself in her job as a chef, except when her grandstanding boss, Hawk--of Albuquerque's chic Nuevo American restaurant hawk--takes credit for her creations. But then, it is his name on the awning above the door. If only her friends and family would get on board with Vanessa's plan and stop trying to fix her up. If she can't fix her life, nobody else is going to get the chance to try--not her parents, not her friends and certainly not her ultra-well-meaning but just-not-getting-it sister Larissa. Vanessa stays focused by helping out at her parents' house--all with her loyal pet Red Dog by her side. Red Dog is all the companionship she needs. Until Vanessa meets Paul, her parents' neighbor--he's all wrong on paper, but he's a gentleman and seems safe. And there's definitely chemistry. But just when Vanessa's guard goes down, the red flag goes up: could Paul be yet another married man? Bursting with Valdes-Rodriguez' trademark wit and originality, The Husband Habit introduces a rich and complex heroine in chef Vanessa. You're not going to want to leave her world when the novel comes to an end. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Awesome Book!!

I love this author, Alisa Valdes Rodriguez. She is phenomenal!! The book was shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. I have read EVERYTHING Alisa has written and will continue to purchase everything she writes. She writes for the "female" audience and as a Latina I can identify and empathize with nearly everything she writes. She writes so eloquently and in a style that will "hook" you immediately! I usually...

Star-crossed food lovers

This book goes on the shelf next to "Joy Luck Club" and "Like Water for Chocolate". The lush, vivid descriptions made me drool. Peas never sounded so tempting until this garden scene. Vanessa is a chef, with complicated family relationships and a messy love life. Throw in a boss who takes credit for her creations, and it's no wonder Vanessa finds herself at wits end after a surprising trip. When Vanessa meets Paul, she is...

Great read - couldn't put the book down!

I read The Husband Habit within a week of purchasing it and very happily so. I have a few military members in my family and I did not find it to be offending in any manner. Instead what the write does is create a character who has an internal battle with himself. The main character also fights her own battles, though it is not concerning the war. A great love story with a memorable ending and overall great read.

Smart and Savvy Summer Read

I have been a fan of Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's novels since the Dirty Girls Social club came out. I was easily engaged by the Husband Habit and thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Valdes-Rodriguez creates characters that one can empathize and identify with, as well as cheer for. Her novels are multi-culturally savvy and progressively intelligent. I recommend them to anyone seeking to enjoy some chica-lit with a...
