BLURB:
Libby
O'Rourke has a short fuse. Her mother, Mae, carries a big match.
Engulfed in the never-ending life-juggling of suburbia, Libby fails
to notice Mae's emerging dementia symptoms until a kitchen fire puts
the problem on the front burner.
Proficient
in the art of denial, Mae brushes the shattering diagnosis aside and
sets her sights on a matchmaking crusade for her eldest son. After
all, if her lucid days are numbered, Mae’s going to make damned
sure he makes it down the aisle while she still recognizes the groom.
It’s
going to take a razor wit and an iron stomach to handle Mae's
diagnosis. Thankfully, just like her mother Libby has both.

Excerpt
Sean
grabbed onto the back of her neck and deepened the kiss before she
could pull back. Her lips parted, and a moan from deep in her dormant
sex drive sent his mouth into frenzy. She found the bottom of his
soft cotton T-shirt and slipped her hands under the hem. Running her
fingers over his chest hair, his nipples snapped to attention, along
with his common sense.
“Whoa,”—he
reluctantly pulled an inch back—“I have to breathe. Give me a
second.” His panting was matched only by hers. His low growl
warned, “You’re opening an old door here, Duffy. Once it’s
open, I’m coming in, slamming it shut, and putting up the Do Not
Disturb sign until neither one of us can move. No one in, no one out.
I’ve waited too long.”
She
licked her plumped-with-kisses lips.
He
groaned. “You play dirty,” he said. “I like it.”
The
sound of a car in the driveway sent them scrambling to their feet and
to the truck ramp.
Caroline
waved to Libby and Mae as they got out of the car. “I feel like I
just got caught making out on the front porch,” she said between
her smiling teeth.
“You’re
lucky they came when they did,” he said. “If it were up to me
we’d be testing the springs on that old couch right now.”
Sean
mirrored her clenched smile and waved to Mae and Libby as he said,
“Forget what I said in the office the other day. This is not over.
Not by a long shot. We’re just getting started.”
This is a must read! A nice escape from the life of reality right here in this book. Even though it deals with every day life stuff it's still an escape to see it from another view. Their ways of doing things. Loved it! It's fast paced and will have you laughing. An all around great book!
