From the back of the book:
She thinks she’s Lois Lane…
Susan Collins always wanted to be a hard-hitting reporter, but there’s not much call for her talents in sleepy Glory, North Carolina. Then the Murder Mystery Club – a trio of enterprising octogenarians – decides to open their own CSI lab at the assisted-living center. And when strange “accidents” begin to happen around town, Susan senses she could be on to the news story of her dreams.
He doesn’t want to be her Superman…
Mark Tremayne has returned to Glory to take over as CFO of The Glory Examiner. His job is to keep the newspaper profitable, which means covering the annual Baptist Church Bake-Off and selling ads for the county fair – not allowing his too-sexy-for-her-own-good reporter to hare off after a wild story that could alienate some of the townspeople.
Together…they’re Kryptonite.
Mark’s and Susan’s viewpoints could be from different planets, but their mutual attraction is in total alignment. Despite their arguments, the indomitable redhead and the hot accountant are a sexual explosion waiting to happen. And when it does, Glory had better watch out!
This is the second book in the “Glory” series. I really liked the first book – TALK OF THE TOWN – but there was something missing in this one for me. I never could get into the story or Mark and Susan as a couple. There was something about the two of them that didn’t work for me, but I still can’t put my finger on what it was. I think I needed more attraction between the two of them. We are told over and over how attracted they are to each other, but to me it felt forced.
With any review it is best to remember that it is just the reviewer’s opinion. Lately I’ve gotten some “hate” mail about some of my reviews and a couple emails about how all of my reviews are too nice. The truth is I only read books that I hope I will enjoy – so most books get a good review from me. This book in particular didn’t work for me right now, but that doesn’t mean that if I re-read it in a year I won’t love it. I really hope that if the small-town contemporary romance is something you enjoy that you will give this book a chance.
the book girl gives LOIS LANE TELLS ALL a 3/5
