LUCY LAKE'S RULES
1. Anything can be cured by shopping.
2. A little extra sleep can't hurt (even if it might cost you your job!).
3. Only when you're absolutely, positively desperate do you dare move back home!
So not quite sure of her next step, Lucy has turned her attention to her late mother's garden. With old Mr. Polhemus's help, surely she can bring some life back into the roses? Oops. The new (i…e., definitely not old!) gardener has some ideas about what Lucy should be doing–and not doing.
But sometimes the best outfits appear in the least likely places. And it looks as though something is finally about to bloom….
About the author
Cindy Myers became one of the most popular people in eighth grade when she and her best friend wrote a torrid historical romance and passed the manuscript around among friends. Fame was short-lived, alas; the English teacher confiscated the manuscript. Since then, Cindy has written more than 50 published novels. Her historical and contemporary romances and women’s fiction have garnered praise from reviewers and readers alike.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Life Is Too Short to Date Dull Men" is Lucy Lake's motto, but when this bad boy loving shopaholic is evicted after one too many shopping sprees, she finds herself leaning on the well-muscled shoulder of good guy Greg Polhemus, the son of her dead mother's gardener. Greg comes in handy when Lucy tries to save her mother's dying roses, and he even offers her a job as office manager at his eco-friendly landscaping business, despite the fact that Lucy is fearful of caring for the environment because "it might involve wearing ugly shoes or doing without certain essential beauty products." Greg is willing to lend a lot more, but Lucy rejects him, knowing he possesses too much integrity to be a bad boy. But when Greg proves that his love for Lucy is stronger than his desire to keep a big client, she comes to realize that good guys have their merits. Myers's tale is as simple and superficial as its heroine, but it's not without charm. The protagonists' chemistry and Lucy's spunk keep this fluffy novel grounded.
