Ex, Why and Me (2006)
Susanna Carr

Rating: 2/5

This is okay. I was in the mood for something contemporary, with no brooding. And this was pretty good. Although, I kept thinking there had to be better ways of doing the stuff on the scavenger hunt. And really she should have been nicer to him. But I guess he was kind of a bastard to her first. But still.

Who knew that horseradish was an aphrodisiac?

Not Michelle Nelson. She signed up again to help promote her hometown's annual Horseradish Festival out of the goodness of her heart. No one said anything about a major publicity stunt, a romantic local legend, and prize money for the team voted "sexiest couple."

Michelle and Ryan shared one disastrous evening together—a romantic catastrophe if ever there was one. There's no way this former Miss Horseradish is going to suffer that humiliation again. But Ryan—every denim-clad muscle and wicked, grinning, I-know-what-you're-thinking inch of him—is equally determined to get another chance with Michelle. And once the hunt is on, there’s no turning back…
