Shy, mousy Rebecca Hartwell had a shocking secret—she was in love with the town's hottest bachelor, Dr. Thomas Emerson! Her feelings seemed hopeless, but when the latest Hartwell bridal bouquet landed smack on her head and Rebecca received an heirloom hope chest full of seductive surprises, she suddenly had an outrageous idea. Dare a shy virgin ask her secret crush to father the baby she yearned for?

He'd been burned by a Hartwell before, but Thomas couldn't get Rebecca off his mind. The quietly lovely woman blushed fiery red every time they met. She was hiding something...and uncovering it might just be the cure for this doc's jaded heart and soul!

Mousy Rebecca Hartwell learned to disappear into the woodwork years ago when her mother died. Her dazzling younger sister Suzanne always seems to thrive on their father's attention and to capture the hearts of Rebecca's would-be boyfriends. It would be easy to resent her sister if Suzanne had not responsibly handled every would-be suitor who dumped her older sister with a rejection.

Even the town's hottest doctor has dated Suzanna, so Rebecca has little hope of garnering his attention. That is, except when her clumsy ineptness embarrasses her. Even catching the Heartwell bridal bouquet does not promise that Rebecca will get her heart's desire-a husband and a baby. So she takes matters into her own hands, inventing the Baby Plan. She intends to persuade Thomas to father a child for her!

Author Rita Herron has a marvelous talent for bringing the small town of Sugar Hill, Georgia alive with quirky characters and genuine hometown familiarity. For the curious, Sugar Hill does really exist, and many readers may be packing their bags to relocate before this wonderfully entertaining series is compete! An entrancing romance of transition and transformation, HAVE BOUQUET, NEED BOYFRIEND comes very highly recommended.

Rebecca Hartwell lost her mother when she was twelve. Not knowing how to deal with her loss, Rebecca crawled into her shell and has been terribly shy ever since. Rebecca has developed a crush on one of the local doctors, Thomas Emerson, who is a hunk. Whenever Rebecca is around Thomas, she turns shyer to the point of stuttering and is very accident-prone. To save herself from embarrassment, Rebecca does everything she can to avoid Thomas. Initially, Thomas' only interest in Rebecca is to get her to introduce him to her father so he can advance his career. While every other woman in town is throwing herself at him, Thomas finds himself fascinated by Rebecca because she's not. With the assistance of Rebecca's matchmaking cousins and sister, Rebecca begins to come out of her shell and she's like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon.

The support that Rebecca gets from her sister and cousins is heartwarming. Rita Herron did a good job of developing this close knit family.
