Falling for April

"Falling For April" was pure delight from start to finish. Intrepid April made me laugh and Ryan was a perfect match for her. The kookie family just added to the fun. Lisa Plumley is a master of the humor that lives in the differences between men and woman. If this book doesn't make you smile... you need a loooong vacation!

After playing the sucker and being jilted at the altar, Ryan Forrester decides no more hedonism and especially no more women. He becomes active in the family department store business. He proposes to his father and the other board members a way to save the midsize stores being squeezed out by superstores. His suggestion is to forge partnerships with local merchants. That is why Ryan is in Saguaro Vista, Arizona testing his idea. April Finnegan worries about money as her rent just doubled with her roommate?s marriage and she has lost her catering business job unless she finds new accounts. April realizes that Mr. Moneybags, as she has labeled Ryan, is a rival competing with her efforts to partner with Charlie?s Pizzeria Funhouse and other accounts. April bets Ryan he would fall on his face without his family cash. Unable to resist Ryan accepts the wager. As she and Ryan compete for the same business, they fall in love, but he was recently jilted and she has little trust in men. Lisa Plumley provides readers with an amusing contemporary romantic romp. The story line never takes itself seriously as the lead couple battles one another and their growing feelings for the other while the support cast provides the ambiance of small town southwest living. Readers will fall for the humorous FALLING FOR APRIL.Harriet Klausner
