"If Singletree’s only florist didn’t deliver her posies half-drunk, I might still be married to that floor-licking, scum-sucking, receptionist-nailing hack-accountant, Mike Terwilliger."

Lacey Terwilliger’s shock and humiliation over her husband’s philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike’s company newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the speci

OH, how I loved this book!! It's fun, sassy, romantic, sexy - and I do mean sexy - truly, a fabulous story! The dialog is so well written, so witty, and the entire book is filled with the kind of dry humor that has you giggling throughout. The sexual chemistry between Lacey and Monroe is off the charts, and they make a perfect couple in their odd mix of cynicism and optimism! In fact, if "opticism" were a word in the dictionary, it'd be accompanied by a picture of Lacey and Monroe!

Wow!

And, not just for the obvious reasons of great writing and laugh-out-loud humor; I also loved it for the way it made me feel when a woman is scorned; I wanted to fight right along with her! (Not to mention how I felt when an incredibly sexy, "tall-drink-of-water", hero was about to enter my, (I mean,) THE heroine's life!)

Lacey Terwilliger was a good wife...at least she thought she was. She was devoted to her husband "Mike", in a stay-at-home, junior league, garden-club kind of way, and her husband not only liked it that way, it was "understood." It looked good for his marriage and looked great for his CPA business. Only problem was, Mike couldn't make his pants behave once he hired "BeeBee" his new receptionist; stupid belt and zipper just wouldn't cooperate!

A mix-up at Singletree's only florist was about to change Lacey's life forever. She inadvertently recieved the flowers that were intended for Mike's newly hired, freshly manicured, big-boobed receptionist. (Nope, this won't be pretty.) It goes without saying that Lacey was shocked, humiliated and downright livid with her husband and because she's conveniently the writer for his monthly company-wide newsletter, things are about to get a whole lot worse. Included in said newsletter were "colorful" descriptions of the special brand of "administrative support" his receptionist gave him along with lovely descriptions of Mike's glowing personality. Once that "send" button was hit and flooding the in-boxes of Mike’s family, friends, and clients, Lacey's an instant "Urban Legend!" Although "poopy" is about to hit the fan; and before Lacey knows it, her lawyer, "Sam" advises her to vacate her small Kentucky town before the media rush, or finding out she's the defendant in Mike’s defamation lawsuit. (The nerve!!)

The old lake-house isn't so bad and it's only an hour outside of town. It smells musty and a tad moldy, but it'll work for a while once all the chaos dies down. And wouldn't you know it? She's even got a neighbor...whose freaking HOT and keeps to himself! PERFECT! He's eye-candy and reminds Lacey of Hugh Jackman when he played, "Wolverine" (no complaints here!) AND, he's someone to help out if anything breaks, right? Nope, because he, "Monroe", wants nothing to do with a scorn, soon-to-be divorced 30 year old attractive woman who occasionally swims in the nude at 2am! Hummmm, this could get interesting and trust me, it does!!

I don't come across many books that have so much to offer; brilliant, laughing-so-hard-you-have-to take-a-break-and-e-mail-your-best-friend, humor, not to mention the extremely clever and well timed, fluid writing. I knew a while back that I loved Harper's style and this book was certainly not an exception. It was simply a joy and I am actually sad my fun had to end! WONDERFUL!(less)

"It's that time of the month again . . .

As we head into those dog days of July, Mike would like to thank those who helped him get the toys he needs to enjoy his summer.
Thanks to you, he bought a new bass boat, which we don't need; a condo in Florida, where we don't spend any time; and a $2,000 set of golf clubs . . . which he has been using as an alibi to cover the fact that he has been remorselessly banging his secretary, Beebee, for the last six months."

When Lacey finds our her husband Mike has been cheating on her for a year, she makes use of the monthly newsletter to his 302 contacts (including work clients) to tell everyone what a "faithless, loveless, spineless, shiftless, useless, dickless wonder" he is. Obviously this results in a total shitstorm. Thus begins one of the funniest books I have ever read. I am not one to have visible reactions when reading a book, but this made me openly chuckle on more than several occasions. It was that funny.

Can I just say that if one of my friends found out their husband was cheating on them, and they wrote a letter about what a douche-canoe he is to everyone he knows, I'd give them a double highfive and shout, "Way to go!"? Because that was totally awesome and called for. Lacey was a hilarious main character and if she existed in real life, she'd be one of my best friends. I loved her relationship with her parents, her gay brother/best friend Emmett, and her sexy new neighbour (who looks like Hugh Jackman) Monroe. The constant jabs back and forth were deliciously playful and make me wish I had a relationship like that. It was perfect.

Having a love interest nicknamed 'Wolverine' by the main character is brilliant. It definitely helped mold him into the sexy, snarky studmuffin that Monroe was, despite his feminine first name (his real name is Francis; his mother calls him Franny). He was just the thing Lacey needed while going through such an awful divorce - a friend (okay, with benefits). And with a little help and some tough love from everyone around her, Lacey gets back on her feet. The process of getting there is so much fun to read.

I'm so glad I randomly picked it up at a book fair. I had no idea if it was any good or not, but let me tell you: it is a gem. If you need a good laugh, make sure you read this book. I promise you that you won't regret it.(less)

Lacey's accountant husband Mike doesn't call her by a cutesy nickname, and definitely not BumbleBee. Shock fills Lacey's entire body because Mike's receptionist is named BeeBee Baumgardner. These flowers were sent to her by accident. And then it hits her like a ton of bricks. Mike is cheating on her with his bimbo receptionist. Lacey is more than mortified and wants to hurt Mike badly. She plays it cool, up to a point, and then gets her revenge. Lacey ends up writing and sending out a newsletter to all of Mike's clients and friends announcing what a scumbag cheater he is.

Lacey is through with the Tax King of Hamnet County, and is raging over his betrayal. She has stood by Mike all these years, helping his company grow and suffering silently as he never cared about her needs, including those in the bedroom. As word runs rampant all over town, Lacey is the subject of both pity and scorn. She has no choice but to call a divorce lawyer and lick her wounds at her grandmother's rustic cabin in the woods. Perhaps the alone time will give her what she needs to meditate on her life that has gone down the toilet.

While Lacey tries to relax, she meets her attractive, hermit like next door neighbor who she nicknames Wolverine, with his wayward hair and sideburns that need a trim. He keeps to himself and is less than friendly, until one night, while Lacey goes skinny dipping in the lake, he rescues her. His name is Lefty Monroe and an author. Lacey just call him Monroe, since his first name makes her giggle. Soon these two become friends, and Monroe wants Lacey to channel her aggressions over Mike into writing. Lacey finds her writing to be great therapy, especially since her story is about a wife's horrible husband who's eaten by their house.

As the days go by, Lacey finds a way to move on, and that may mean with Monroe. They fall into a friends with benefits situation, that is, until his family comes for a surprise visit where Monroe announces what Lacey really means to him. Now Lacey has to decide if she's ready for a new relationship, move on with her life, and forgive The Stinger who has embarrassed her with his sweet little Bumblebee.

And One Last Thing… is a combination of romance and womens' fiction about a woman who must go through the steps of finding herself again. Lacey was ruled by her marriage and her husband who took her for granted. Even though she felt her marriage wasn't the best it could be, she tried to create a happy home. Unfortunately, it was her selfish husband who destroyed everything.

Mike is a big jerk who makes it all about him. Not once does he feel ashamed for what he has done to Lacey. His mistress BeeBee is a caricature and typical sex pot that thinks she has a right to Mike because Lacey is at fault for not doing her best to keep her husband from looking elsewhere. Lacey's gay brother Emmett bring forth the laughs, as well as Lacey's divorce lawyer Samantha, and Maya, a woman who was wronged by her fiancé and then started a greeting card company where she creates customized cards for all those unfortunate events that Hallmark doesn't cover. She wants Lacey to come work for her based on her newsletter that has become an urban legend for betrayed housewives everywhere. And then there is Monroe, who is wonderful, as Lacey's friend and lover. These two heat up the sheet together perfectly.

I'd only wish Lacey's parents would have been more supportive with their daughter and what she's going through. It seems they were a bit distance to her dilemma, which I couldn’t understand. It would have been nice if Lacey had a few more tender moments with her mother, including her father, who acts cold to her because of his personality. But, the central focus of And One Last Thing… is not getting revenge, or necessarily looking to others who have your back, but finding a way to overcome a horrible event and moving on.

And One Last Thing… is pretty easy reading, has some nice moments of humor and steamy love scenes. Molly Harper has really written an enjoyable book that can speak on many levels to women about love and life. (less)

Molly Harper's books always make me laugh out loud and this one was not exception. The main character Lacey is what Elizabeth Gilbert could have been if she had a backbone. This story provides a really honest look into a troubled marriage and how easy it is lose one's self inside the cookie cutter idea of what happiness should look like. Instead of spending all her time crying in various locales, Lacey puts on her big girl pants and gets her life together.

And then tuck it away and read it a few days later? This is sort of along the lines of Molly Harper’s chick-lit book And One Last Thing…, except Lacey Terwilliger didn’t stick her letter away – she sent it. To everyone in both her cheating husband’s contact book and her own.
When she’s accidentally delivered her husband’s mistress’s flowers, Lacey realizes that her husband has been having an affair. In a flash of rage and grief, she sends a vindictive, though hilarious, blurb about her husband’s illicit activities in his company’s newsletter. Her hubs takes legal action, and Lacey opts to escape to her small cabin in the middle of nowhere to allow herself some space and time to cool off.
Lacey expects to have some alone time, but the next door cabin is occupied by a Hugh Jackman lookalike who takes serious issue w/ Lacey’s presence. They battle out each other’s presence for a few days, but gradually come to tolerate, then enjoy, each others’ company. Monroe helps Lacey focus her energy, and before long she finds herself questioning what, exactly, is next for her.

This is a really sweet and angsty FEMME power book. Lacey’s husband is just…scum, and when she gets in her digs, she really makes them count. It’s fantastic. Lacey gradually comes to terms with her anger and the feeling of betrayal, and though she struggles to find herself, she gradually gets back on her own two feet in a most satisfying, and realistic, manner.

Logan is adorable. Their friendship starts out in rough waters, but it slowly calms and they become good friends. When things begin to heat up between them, it’s Logan who is the more rational of the two. While reading this, I couldn’t help but think of Chris O’Dowd‘s character from Bridesmaids (though he looks nothing like Hugh Jackman). I think it’s the sort of laid back yet smart-ass sarcastic sense of humor that did it for me. He keeps Lacey anchored to reality while still encouraging her to explore her own possibility.

This was a lovely read. It’s funny, heart wrenching, and supremely satisfying. It’s a wonderful example of “chick-lit” that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.(less)

So I didn’t have any expectations of greatness when I found myself on a 45 minutes busride with nothing else to read. Boy was I surprised. And in a good way too.
This book was really funny. As in I laughed in public transportation funny. This is not something that happens to me often – never actually. So I will definitely be giving some of the other books by this author a chance.

The book is all about Lacey. Lacey has been living the good, if a bit boring, life since she married her high school sweetheart right out of college – because it seemed like the right thing to do. After her marriage she never got a job, partly because her husband didn’t want her to, and partly because she was a people pleaser who found it easier to go along with what was expected of her. For the same reasons she has been living in the house he wants, driving a car he chose, even the interior decoration and her daily activities are arranged to make his life as easy and happy as possible. Now all this makes her sound like a boring girl and that would be true. Until the day she discovers that her husband is having an affair with his receptionist – yes he is indeed a walking talking cliché. Now this is apparently just what Lacey needs to stop being such a dull girl and reclaim her life. And she certainly does not suffer alone or in silence!! She sends out a mass e-mail in the form of a newsletter announcing to the world what a cheating douche bag her husband is, and sends it to everyone they know.

As the “I” in the first person narrative Lacey is a funny, snarky character, and her unconventional reaction to her husband’s betrayal is downright hilarious. I went back and reread her e-mail several times as I was reading and every time it made me smile. Monroe too is funny and quirky, and just downright delicious.
Since Lacey is recovering from a bad ending to her marriage, it made perfect sense that she was having trust and commitment issues. And I was greatly relieved to see, that the author allowed the relationship with Monroe to develop slowly and naturally. And that there were setbacks – one mustn’t forget the setbacks and the following apologies. Those are a great part of what made this book awesome.
A new relationship right away would not have made sense for this character who needed so badly to find herself and her independence after all those many years of having done everything for other people’s sakes. Monroe was the perfect foil for her wallowing, he pulled her right out of the bush (or lake as it were), and back to life. He provided much needed sanity without being disgustingly perfect. In the end I believed that they had a real shot at making it, but at the same time, I did not get the feeling that Lacey was going to repeat her previous mistakes. She developed so much during the story, that I would have hated seeing her get into another unhealthy relationship, even with a guy as great as Monroe.

My only concern about their relationship is, the way he initially at least seems to be able to steer her in the direction he wants her to go – I’m now talking about the way she all of a sudden seems to develop a desire to become an author when he suggests that she start writing. But this is a fairly minor incident, and as it turns out writing is therapeutic to her, and something she enjoys (I also kind of want to read the book she is writing – just saying), and she proves several times that she is quite capable of telling him no when she feels he is pushing too much.

The secondary cast of the book was hilarious as well. I particularly loved Emmett, Lacey’s gay older brother, and Wynnie her ex-mother-in-law. Both of them were funny, if in very different ways. I sympathized with Wynnie’s position – even if I did not wish for Lacey to return to her marriage, and Emmett was wonderful. After finishing the book, I found myself searching the author’s website to find related books, because I wanted to know if Emmett got a great guy too. Honorary mentions go to Sam and Maya – both of them fabulous females in their own right.

Over the course of this story Lacey grows up, and becomes a confident, independent woman as opposed to the overgrown insecure girl she started out as. And it is a journey I enjoyed very much reading about. Five stars.

Fantastic and Fun!

The Beginning left me impassioned; the Ending left me wishing for just a little bit more.

I enjoyed the author’s book “How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf” so much that when I saw this book at my local bookstore, I picked it up and started reading. Two chapters later I bought the book and kept reading and reading and reading. I finished it in 9 hours. It’s snappy, funny, and reads fast without feeling like a mad dash to the finish line.

Lacey, the main character is real and she’s...more

"If Singletree’s only florist didn’t deliver her posies half-drunk, I might still be married to that floor-licking, scum-sucking, receptionist-nailing hack-accountant, Mike Terwilliger."

you see. this is a story about Lacey who find out that her husband is cheating with his secretaris, Beebee (really, what a strange parents gave their child name Beebee?). then, she write a newsletter that sent to all of the people in his office, their friends, and their family. Mike and Beebee sue her. and she had to go somewhere quiet to calm her down. she goes to her cabin only to encounter an aggravating neighbor named Monroe (his real name is Francis, and his mother call him Frannie).

I have to be honest, this is not the book that i often read. I don't like a story about marrital, divorce, cheating. but this book is reaaly good.

i felt really angry when i know her husband cheat. i felt her anger. her sadness. and when she fond of Monroe. oh, I love Monroe. he seems perfect. I want a Monroe too *sigh*. and absolutely, I love Emmet, Lacey's gay brother. and Andi, Monroe's brother who vow his loyatly to Lacey :

“You made me laugh until coffee came out of my nose; therefore, pledge my undying loyalty to you. In fact, if you and Franny break up, I’d be glad to be your shoulder to cry on -”

this book is really good. I angry a lot with Beebee and absolutely to Mike. I laughed a lot with the jokes in this book. I like the way Lacey thinking. even though sometimes she acts spontaneous. but she more mature along with the book. I like Lacey and Monroe's start their friendship.

and i have to say that i really am satisfy with the ending. though, i wonder what happen next with Mike and Beebee. I really want them both suffer. (evil.. hahahha)

and one last thing, I'm suure that I will read another Molly harper's books.

And I (very slowly) pecked out the story of my third-grade class taking a trip around the world and losing a kid in each city.

I had a dark sense of humor, even then.

In high school, when other girls my age were writing poems about dying unicorns and bleeding roses, I was writing essays about having political arguments with my dad at the dinner table. (Whoever made the other person laugh at their own political party won the argument.) I knew I wanted to write when I grew up, but I also knew there was very little chance I could make a living writing books, so I went for the next best thing – newspaper writing.

I majored in print journalism at Western Kentucky University and used my shiny new degree to get a job at my hometown newspaper. I married my high school sweetheart, David, a local police officer. And for six years, I wrote about school board meetings, quilt shows, a man “losing” the fully grown bear he kept as a pet in his basement, and a guy who faked his death by shark attack in Florida and ended up tossing pies at a local pizzeria.

I loved my job at the paper. I loved meeting new people every day and never knowing where I would end up. But somehow, the ever-shifting schedules of a police officer and a reporter did not equal "family friendly." One of us needed to take a normal job for the sake of our young daughter. I took a secretarial position at a local church office, which left me with dependably free evenings for the first time in my adult life. David was working the night shift that summer and I was losing.my.mind. We were living in "The Apartment of Lost Souls" while building our new home. This was the place where appliances and small electronics went to die. Every night I would tuck our snoozing child into bed and wait for the washing machine to start smoking or the computer to suddenly flash the "blue screen of death." Then there was the plague of frogs in the bathroom that put our daughter of potty-training for about six months.

Normally, when things get tough, I can take solace in reading. But I surveyed my packing box of favorite books with the apathetic air of someone who stands in front of the open refrigerator for 10 minutes and can't find anything. Nothing sounded good. So I just sat down and started writing something I would want to read.

Being a huge fan of vampire movies and TV shows, I wondered, what would be the most humiliating way possible to be turned into a vampire- a story that a vampire would be embarrassed to share with their vampire buddies over a nice glass of Type O. Well, first, you'd have to make the protaganist a bit of an accidental loser. She's single, almost 30, and a librarian working in the small Kentucky town where she grew up. This "triple whammy of worry" has made her a permanent fixture on her Mama's prayer list. And despite the fact that's pretty good at her job, she just got canned so her boss could replace her with someone who occasionally starts workplace fires. She drowns her sorrows at the local faux nostalgia-themed sports bar and during the commute home, she's mistaken for a deer and then shot by a drunk hunter. And then she wakes up as a vampire.

And thus, Jane Jameson and the wacky denizens of Half-Moon Hollow were born.

It took me almost a year to complete and edit a draft of the book, which I planned as the first in a three-book series. I spent three months using agentquery.com to ruthlessly stalk potential literary agents. (There were a lot of lists involved, I don't want to re-live it.) I was gently rejected by at least half of them. I corresponded with some very nice, very patient people, but ultimately signed with the fabulous Stephany Evans of Fine Print Literary Management. Stephany was willing to take to the time to give me advice on how to imp(less)
