The Man She Married

by Ann DeFee

After more than twenty years, Clay Walker still looks like the sexy surfer dude Maizie married. But lately their relationship has been getting a little stale. It's time to shake things up and get the old juices goin'. Maizie's solution? Some harmless flirting with the studly new tennis pro to make Clay pea-green jealous.

But when the plan backfires--and Clay moves out--Maizie and her gal pals mount an all-out campaign to win him back.

Between her aiding and abetting mother, a potentially dangerous admirer and one unforgettable karaoke serenade, this Southern belle needs nothing short of a miracle. The one constant is her enduring passion for Clay. Can Maizie find what she's looking for without losing the only man she's ever loved?

[ANGELIA · Rating 1 out of 5]

Talk about dumb! Are we really supposed to believe this is one of those "meant to be" couples, when after over 20 years of marriage they don't communicate on the important things, and resort to playing childish games (like the old "make him jealous" one) to attention?

The whole thing came across like one of those hokey romcoms, and a really bad one at that!

No wonder I stick to the older books, the new ones have no depth at all.
