La mariée en cavale

Après une longue absence, Sadie Hollowell retourne dans le ranch paternel, à Lovett, une bourgade texane. Sur la route, le hasard l'amène à secourir un automobiliste tombé en panne. Lorsqu'il lui demande comment il peut la remercier, une idée de génie traverse le cerveau de l'éternelle célibataire  :  elle lui propose d'être son cavalier au mariage de sa cousine, qui a lieu le lendemain. Hélas, il décline l'invitation. Propulsée demoiselle d'honneur, voilà Sadie engoncée dans une robe rose bonbon, harcelée de questions par une horde de vieilles tantes indiscrètes. Lorsque, traversant la foule des convives, le bel inconnu apparaît, elle l'accueille en lui soufflant  :   "Sauve-moi !"

This yummy lovefest from Gibson (after Tangled Up in You) focuses on a familiar dilemma: how to end bad luck in love. At 35, successful Idaho SFF novelist Adele Harris has had it with losers who make fun of her big fat ass. She feels cursed—and she was, by old rival Devon Hamilton-Zemaitis, who stole Adele's first love, football star Zach Zemaitis. When Devon dies following an accident, she must remove the curse that's prevented Adele's happiness so she can go to heaven. Meanwhile, Adele gets a frantic call from older sister Sherilyn, who's divorcing her husband and has moved back to their old hometown of Cedar Creek, Tex.—where Zach now coaches high school football, and where Sherilyn needs help with her 13-year-old. Gibson keeps the action light but dead-on delicious in Adele's and Zach's sizzling second-chance-at love. (June) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
