Marina Carzelli is a single mother who owns Sizzle 'n' Sequin, a trendy store catering mostly to drag queens. Six years ago, she divorced her no-good husband, who is now in jail. Marina has never looked back, but her Italian mother keeps trying to make her look forward, with numerous attempts to introduce her to suitable men, as well as arranging uncomfortable blind date after blind date. Meanwhile, Marina is doing her best to cope with it all, but Fate seems to be working against her. She is hightailing it through the mall in pursuit of her daughter, Felicia—her latest designs in a blue bin, and a cup of coffee on top—when Felicia falls head first into a fountain. Marina, hell bent on rescue, slips on the water, showering coffee over a hot man with killer blue eyes. Reeve Huntington III is a victim. His father has talked him into doing a reality TV show, where the winner will win a wedding…to him! Reeve is a lawyer, and he is walking through the mall with his best friends, Trey and Kyle, when he is assaulted by a blue bin, and marinated with flavored coffee! Things are bad until he meets the eyes of his assailant. The look in those orbs is almost enough to make his heart leap out of his chest. In Romance By Mistake, JT Schultz has created a wonderful story that kept me laughing. This book is hilarious, with priceless moments like the one where Marina's two gay best friends and the entire Las Vegas gay community come forth to defend her. This warm, funny tale grabbed my heart, as Reeve went to great lengths just to be at Marina's side. A "feel good" story that lifts your spirits, Romance By Mistake is definitely a book I'd recommend to read! |
