My Book Summary : After years of traveling to different places and enjoying, a life of carefree living Martie is ready to settle down, so she moves to the small town of Pontotoc, Mississippi with plans to make some roots and teach jazzercise classes. However, the one thing that is not on the menu is to get involved with her hot new backyard neighbor, Paul, who just happens to also be a Reverend. Especially since Paul's life seems to be too much like living in a fish bowl and Martie already knows herself to be eccentric for that type of strict living.
Nevertheless, trying to get Paul to see the reasoning behind them not getting into a relationship gets harder by the day. Even when you have a mischievous puppy, making sure you always have a reason to see him on what seems to become a daily basis.
Everyone in town would agree that the two of them together is the worst thing that could happen .... everyone except Paul that is. Now all he has to do is try convincing everyone else in town ... Martie included!
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, this story is lively, incredibly sweet, fun, and very heartwarming!! The characters and events that go on within this book are very creative and scandalously delicious!! I never thought a Reverend could heat me up as much as Paul does throughout the pages, while Martie is just a hoot with her "brazen" ideas and colorful attire! I thought they made a wonderful couple! In addition, I thought this story had a wonderful plot that really gave me a perspective I never would have thought to look at before.
The only flaw in this story, for me, was that even after Martie and Paul get married they still held back from each other the passion that is between them because of other people’s views and what they believe is the "right thing to do." I know it would have made for a shorter book but I wish they didn't have to go through all of that. However, I do like how Martie and Paul went about to make their marriage work, as well as, how everything wrapped up in a very surprising panache Martie-like fashion! =0)
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys soft romance novels that have a lot of comedy thrown in!!
Book Teaser(s) :
Teaser #1
Martie stood hypnotized, watching the pandemonium from her vantage point on the stage. She saw Paul collar the goat just in time to save Miss Beulah, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief she saw movement on the stage.
Francine’s Siamese was taking advantage of the situation to dive at Martha Sue’s goldfish, and the beagles thought the chase meant rabbits. Sounding their bugle calls, they entered the hunt. One of them ran through Essie Mae’s legs, knocking her onto the lap of the astonished postman, and the other ran under the table of desserts at the back of the room. He bumped the table leg, sending a chocolate-cream pie into flight. The airborne pie landed in Sam’s lap. ~ within Chapter 6
