Book seventy-seven: The Trouble with Valentine’s Day

The Trouble with Valentine’s Day (2007/2005)
Rachel Gibson


Rating: 2.5/5

Very sweet – especially the grandfather and the poetry readings. It did have a couple of instances of background dumping, but they are forgiven because they were kind of needed.

I didn’t realise that this was written by the same author as I’m in No Mood for Love when I was reading it. Which I guess is a good thing. They were different enough that I didn’t connect them. I liked this one better, though – its plot isn’t as wandering.

Valentine's Day sucks. And this year it's worse than usual for Kate Hamilton as she tries to seduce a handsome stranger in a motel bar -- only to find out he, unfortunately, has other ideas!

Escaping from embarrassment to her grandfather's tiny town of Gospel, Ohio, she's determined to relax and enjoy some good, clean, small-town fun. What she's not expecting is a reunion with Mr Handsome Stranger, aka Rob Sutter, who, it just so happens, lives in the town.

But then Rob and Kate find themselves in an compromising position in the local store after hours, giving the phrase "clean-up in aisle five" a whole new meaning and, in the process, causing a whole lot of gossip in Gospel!
