Piper Wick left Pickwick, North Carolina at the age of 18 and never looked back. As a successful PR representative, she set her life on course to marry well. A phone call from her Uncle Obadiah's lawyer puts a crimp in her plans.Will her cousins, uncle, and the handsome gardener rearrange her thinking about Pickwick and her relationships? Piper fights to maintain her L.A. persona and keep from slipping into her southern drawl.
Author, Tamara Leigh, uses humor and a deft hand painting some hilarious scenes. Will Piper overcome her not-so-happy childhood memories and gain the acceptance she's always wanted?
Don't miss this piece of Contemporary Fiction laced with a bit of Chick Lit flavor. I'm ready to sample Tamara's other books after meeting this delightful cast of characters.
Erk! So many books, so little time. Again, this is an author I've heard of and want to try out, just haven't had the chance yet.
ReplyDeleteSounds cute!
Thanks for the review! May need to add this one to my stack of books to read:)

I just critiqued a Chapter for a book set in North Carolina. The Carolinas are coming up a lot - I even mention NC in my current WIP.
ReplyDeleteHi Jess -

Hi Shmologna -
ReplyDeleteI've seen a number of historicals, as well as this contemporary, set in the south. I enjoy the variety of settings the U.S. provides.
I think authors tend to choose settings that resonate with their own lives.
Blessings,
Susan :)
I love the name Piper. Intriguing...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sounds good. Love lots of humor in books! :O)

I'm glad you said this was humorous, because I had a hard time with the name Piper Wick in the town of Pickwick. I thought, "You can't be serious."
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Jessica. There are too many fantastic books out there. How in the world do we read all of them?!!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review, Susan!!
The cover sure has a chick-lit feel doesn't it? Sounds like a fun read to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen -
ReplyDeleteThe book has a humorous side, which enhances the more serious theme. Parts of it were hilarious to me, but I don't know if will strike everyone's funny bone.
There's also a nice romance sandwiched in there. :)
Blessings,
Susan
Hi Kristen -
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Between trying to read fiction and researching for my next manuscript, it's no wonder I had a headache this week.
Blessings,

Hi Eileen -
ReplyDeleteThose high heels look great, but I'd probably break something major if I tried walking in them. :)
