Soon-to-be-married Alexis Parker and her flirty friend, Stephanie Bradford, find more than they dreamed of when Alexis's Lexus sputters and dies on a Chicago expressway. The hilarious and disconcerting events that follow introduce both of them to construction workers Joe Baker and Mike Murphy. Readers bounce up and down on their bumpy road to love.
Stephanie Bradford's attraction to Joe Baker initially blinds her recognition of Mike Murphy's charms. When Joe and Alexis arrange a "by chance" meeting, their romance is kindled.
Alexis Parker's engagement to Richard Churchfield causes her to ignore his selfishness and personality flaws, and repeatedly question her attraction to very generous and noble Joe Baker. Highway to Love takes the reader on a pothole-filled journey as Alex repeatedly denies Joe's love and her own feelings. Joe possesses the extraordinary patience of a man in love. His kind and charismatic friend, Carolyn, often shares her feminine perspective with him along the way. As Alex's emotional and moral beliefs are tested, she is forced to create a new and more appropriate definition of true love as she sprints to the finish line.
An annual read for me, I continue to enjoy it immensely every single time! Highway to Love is so fun, light and romantic. It has such descriptive characters that I see them physically and emotionally in my own mind.
I like the story so much, but Alex was't exactly amusing. She kept denying what was obvious before her for a long time that she didn't just broke Joe's heart, she broke mine as well. On the other hand, I fell in love with Joe; he is determined to prove his feelings for her and I appreciate that in a man. I liked that they weren't perfect and it was witty to read the twists they faced to be with each other.
Oh my god, this was so bad. None of it was in any way realistic; the characters, the plot, etc. The writing is so amateurish. And it was so predictable on top of all that. Couldn't even finish it, and I usually try to finish every book I start. I guess they publish anyone who can type on a computer these days.
