I loved this book

I just need to get this out of the way first.  I know the author of this book (her real name is not Maggie Preston).  She works with me, and I really like her.  We were out at happy hour one night, and she was like “oh yeah, I wrote a book.”  So, being the Amazonwhore that I am, I immediately bought it.  Like from my phone at the table.  It’s only $4 for the Kindle edition (it looks like it’s only on Kindle).  I’m so glad I did.  I usually have like three or four books going at a time (1-2 Kindle books [one on my actual Kindle and one on the Kindle app on my phone], 1 hardcover / paperback / real book, and 1 audiobook), so I didn’t immediately start reading this book.  Once I remembered I had it and started reading though, I plowed through it.

It has some sex scenes, which is totally good with me.  They’re good sex scenes too.  There’s no “throbbing member” or anything off-putting.  They’re actually sexy sex scenes.  The characters act like real people with real motivations and back stories.  I guess I’ve read a lot of crappy books in my life, because saying that the characters are believable sounds like a low bar.  It’s so awful though when you’re reading a book and you’re thinking “Why the hell did they do that?  No sane person would do that”, or something along those lines.  Anyway, I digress.

The main character has just recently ran over her soon to be ex-husbands (already) dead body.  That’s how we meet her.  It’s such a cool way to start a book.  It only gets better from there.  There’s romance, family struggle, zoning issues (!), adultery, long buried secrets, and much more.  I cannot stress enough how much I loved this book.  I think I read it in like four nights.  It would’ve been quicker if I didn’t need to go to sleep before work!  I texted her (the author) the other day and said “Please tell me you’re writing more of these!”  Good news guys, she’s working on them!
