Detour Ahead

by Cindi Myers

Okay, so there are some cliches that are true -- rolling stones gathering no moss and the grass is greener are two that come to mind...mainly because I'm stuck in a ditch next to a sinfully gorgeous and far too stubborn man who won't allow himself to smell the roses. (Yes, I know. It's another true one.)

But I've learned that the kindness of strangers can lead to some pleasant surprises, if not actual happiness. So that (along with a fear of flying and a pesky judge who took away my license) is how I found myself driving cross-country to a friend's wedding with the groom's best friend.

Hmm. Best friend? Isn't there something about that I should remember...?

The blurb on the back of this book hardly does this book justice. She's a footloose individual who is along for life's ride. Every day is an adventure. He's pretty straitlaced and conservative. If it's not in the plan, it isn't going to happen. When these two characters meet in the story, they are too freaking mature and understanding of each other's differences to be real. I've been in relationships with my opposite, trust me, nothing is ever that open-minded and forgiving. Otherwise a well-written story with great characters. A very fun read.

This was one of the funnest contemporary novels I had ever read. Many laugh out loud moments and sweet kisses.

I wish romances didn't always mean premarital sex.

But a fun read with a satisfying ending.
