Book Description

Series: Avalon Romance | Publication Date: August 6, 2010

Georgie Mayer has no boyfriend and rarely goes out. In short, she needs a life. Since graduating from college and returning home, her brother s protectiveness has been in overdrive, and she hasn't been able to have any fun, never mind go on a date. So what's a poor particularly attractive girl to do in a situation like this? The only thing she can do: find him a woman! He'll thank her for it in the end. That is, if his best friend Walt Somers would stop interfering with her plans. The handsome pharmacist has made it no secret that he doesn't approve of what she's up to. Unfortunately, having Walt hanging around does strange things to her mind, and she finds she can't help but take a healthy interest in him. But how can Georgie entertain thoughts of the two of them together when Walt still treats her like his best friend's little sister?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

It’s hard to get a date if your brother’s an overprotective cop, as Georgie knows all too well. Brad, the cop in question, is ruining her love life. A recent college grad, she has found the perfect job at her local pharmacy, and her life would be complete if she could have a nice fling. But that goal is doubly difficult now that her brother’s best friend is living with them. Walt tormented her as a kid, and surely he’ll make her life miserable now. The only way to distract Brad is to find him a girlfriend, so she enters him into a celebrity date contest, much to Walt’s annoyance. She never counted on winning the contest herself, or on Walt becoming her new boss, or on his being so very cute. It’s the mature way Walt responds to Georgie’s shenanigans that make this romance a standout. Shirk’s novel is as breezy and charming as Georgie’s seaside surroundings, and her sweet love affair with Walt will linger in the reader’s mind long after the tale is told. --Courtney Jones

More About the Author

Jennifer Shirk has a bachelor degree in pharmacy--which has in NO WAY at all helped her with her writing career. But she likes to point it out, since it shows romantic-at-hearts come in all shapes, sizes, and mind-numbing educations.
She resides in a beach resort, so when she's not working on her tan or writing, she's taking care of her most treasured possessions: her husband, daughter, and four hermit crabs.

I have been a blog supporter of Jennifer's for a while now and was incredibly excited about her latest release. (Go Jenn!) She writes the way I imagine she would talk if we were chatting together, and so her book comes off very natural to me. Georgie on His Mind is quirky, fun and a quick read. Just the right amount of romance and chaos to keep the story moving forward and interesting. I asked her if a sequel is in the works and I happily heard there was! Her book was like a mini vacation, the perfect distraction from the daily grind and pleasantly enjoyable.
