Sugar Beth Carey was once the queen of the high school in Parrish, Mississippi, a cruel beauty who tormented the local kids. Years later she returns to town broke, after her husband's death left her with nothing but a rundown family mansion. The people she once bullied are now adults, and some of them are happy to see her humbled. One of them is Colin Byrne, a man with a long memory. Susan Elizabeth Phillips builds a second-chance romance around a heroine who has to face her old self and earn respect in a small town.
Readers who like humorous contemporary romance with a flawed, sharp-tongued heroine will enjoy this.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
