Girls Night by Stef Ann Holm

Seeking A Boyfriend
Must Have Big Feet

All Jillene McDermott needs is a little breathing room, and the only place she can find it is in the bathtub. Her coffee bar, Java the Hut, is on life support, and raising two daughters alone is a full-time job, so quiet moments in the tub are a rare treat.
Knowing their mom deserves some happiness, Jillene's daughters, Claire and Faye, write her a personal ad. But their good intentions go wrong and Vince Tremonti, the town's most famous son, has to step in as Jillene's "boyfriend."

Vince is a crime writer who is back in Blue Heron Beach to rethink the grim reality of his career, and he can't afford to get involved with anyone, much less a young widow with a ready-made family.

But thrown together, the two can't deny the mutual attraction and they realize there is more between them than a summer fling. Suddenly, lattes are not the only thing steaming in Blue Heron Beach.

This is book is a reread. I'm doing inventory with all my books. Deciding if I want to keep them or get rid of them to make room for new books.

Poor Jillene. Single mom, trying to handle a business. Her husband passed away suddenly leave her in a financial mess. She had no idea their finances were bad. (Ladies, always ask the hubby what's going on with the bills. Don't be left in the dark. If you are the one handling the books, let hubby know what's going on. This is your public service announcement.) She's doing her best trying to budget and not declare bankruptcy.

Vince is a true crime writer. His latest book is haunting him, so he comes home to clear his head. Turns out that the person he's writing about, wanted Vince to make him famous. Vince is having trouble living with that guilt.

This was a cute story. There is a sub plot with Vince's dad, which is touching. Then you have Jillene's daughters trying to help their mom in the dating world. This is a good read, I did like it, but it's not "Oh my god you have to read this!" reading material. C
