Ask Anyone: A Romance Novel

I have enjoyed every book I have read by Sherryl Woods. Finish one series and she starts another. GREAT!!!!!

A fast, entertaining read. Bobby is a sweetie and in a rare twist he's not "Mr. Macho" as so many men are in books. I loved the way Jenna stood her ground in regards to her fathers business. What an absolute jerk her father was-he should have been pushed into the Potomac! He had no fatherly instincts at all! Jenna sure showed him!

Jenna Kennedy has something to prove. She's ready to show her father and two brothers that she is more than an empty-headed woman that is only good for answering the phones and doing the filing at their family owned company. All she has to do is get the attention of Bobby Spencer, and covince him that she's the perfect person to plan his development of the boardwalk in Trinity Harbor. The problem is, once she's there, Jenna never wants to leave.Bobby Spencer has had his heart broken and he is determined that it won't happen again. But he couldn't stop Jenna from bulldozing into his life and changing the way he thought about involvement. The only thing is, she's determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, because she doesn't want anything interfering in the planning of the boardwalk.This is my second Woods book, the first one being 'About that Man'. In her normal light hearted way, Woods brings enough emotion into this book to keep the reader hooked. With the antics of Darcy, Jenna's daughter and the return of Robert 'King' Spencer, you won't put this book down until you've finished it.

I have read all of Ms. Woods' novels and they are all very good. She keeps getting better and better. This story has everything, romance, humor, even a mystery. While it is light, it addresses some serious issues. I read it in two days.

In Trinity Harbor, Virginia Jenna Kennedy, the daughter in Pennington and Sons, desperately needs the waterfront renovation contract. She obsessively thirsts to prove to her chauvinistic family that she is not a loser who messes up everything. That is why she told no one about her scheme to place a carousal horse on the lawn of the homeowner who also owns the waterfront property. Gourmet chef Bobby Spencer wants nothing to do with the gorgeous single mother who demands he contract with her to renovate his waterfront property. However, when someone steals the antique horse Bobby cannot resist her vulnerability. He helps a disconsolate Jenna with finding the horse before her family accuses her of another reckless screw-up. As they search together, they begin to fall in love, but both have been burned once and so are twice as shy when it comes to relationships. ASK ANYONE who enjoys amusing contemporary romances as to who is worth reading and Sherryl Woods will appear on most lists. The return of characters from ABOUT THAT MAN adds depth so that the audience better understands the lead couple, especially Bobby. He struggles with his feelings for supermom-business mogul wannabe Jenna, a person that would search the Afghanistan caves for Bin Laden if given the assignment. This is an admirable trait yet at times irritate the audience. Still Ms. Woods provides a very amusing return to Trinity Bay that will leave fans anxiously awaiting the future tale of Bobby's older brother.Harriet Klausner
