This week I'm reading...
First chapter...
Trouble in the Stepmother Hood
Though it was February, the galley kitchen at her future husband's old farmhouse was steamy and hot, but Linny hardly noticed. Peering at the pages on the counter, she pushed back up her nose the reading glasses she'd had to borrow from Jack and double-checked to make sure she'd not left out any key ingredients. Why had she printed the recipe in ten-point font? Tonight's menu came from a website she'd found called Recipes for Picky Eaters, and she hoped it was a winner. She shook her head, chagrined at Jack's reaction to the first possible menu she'd suggested. He'd kept that pleasant smile on his handsome face, but his eyebrows had shot up. Once they'd come back down to normal, his veto had been so diplomatic.
Teaser....
Linny got a nervous flip in her stomach when she thought about becoming a stepmother.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great story. My teaser this week is from a fantasy romance on my review stack - My Wild Irish Dragon by Ashlyn Chase. Happy reading!
ReplyDeletePretty cover and I am sure being a step mother is very difficult. Hope it all comes out well in the end. :-)

ReplyDeleteOh, being a stepmother must be a nightmare, one I somehow avoided...LOL. This one sounds like a book I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “THIS MUST BE THE PLACE”
Now I want to know what got vetoed. That alone would drag me into the story.
ReplyDeleteI like family stories and would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a story I'd enjoy. I already dislike Jack. If he doesn't like her menu, he should do the cooking!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features BROKEN PIECES
A trying time for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued! I'm a stepmother and have definitely dealt with more than my share of picky eaters!
