Book Description

Series: Harlequin American Romance | Publication Date: March 11, 2008

More Than Georgia On His Mind

Magnolia Bluffs, Georgia--on the surface, it's the perfect small Southern town. But below the surface, as Zack Maynard discovers, is a different story. There's trouble afoot--vandalism and maybe even murder.

Zack is a big-city California detective who arrives in Magnolia Bluffs to investigate what's happening with the real estate development his family has invested in. That means dealing with Liza Henderson, a widow and one of the partners...and very much a Southern Lady. But Liza's not your typical belle. She's wacky, passionate, charming and unlike any woman Zack's ever met.

Although their initial meeting isn't love--or even like--at first sight, they're experiencing an incredible chemistry. Will the Real Estate Riddle turn into the Case of the California Cop and the Southern Widow?

I love the quick dialogue and sassiness of both characters. The author did a great job of telling this story through dialogue and action. The characters were very sexy, and the pace was pretty quick. I LOVE this book! A must read. I can't wait to check out her other novels.

This review is from: Goin' Down To Georgia (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Widow Grammy Liza Henderson runs around her hometown of Magnolia Bluffs, Georgia doing errands for her daughter Cassie. Liza loves her daughter, two preadolescent step-grandsons and likes her son-in-law who is half between her age and that of her only child. She detests running errands especially when she is stuck in traffic or involved in an accident that has her buried in a sea of green kudzu. She is running late on her key chore besides buying size six boys shoes and picking up former California police officer turned land developer Zack Maynard.

Zack is in town helping his brother, but is attracted to Liza from the moment they met; he is unaware of the family connection between them. However, he soon wears his former cop hat as someone has threatened Liza and several break-ins make the menace real. As he tries to keep her safe, Liza and Zack fall in love.

This is an entertaining regional romantic suspense that star likable lead protagonists and stereotypical eccentric southern support characters. Liza is a steel magnolia while Zack goes from California titanium to melted metal. Although the mystery of Liza's missing spouse assumed dead is to simplistically resolved, which takes away from an overall fine plot, fans who appreciate GOING DOWN TO GEORGIA for a visit will want to read Ann DeFee's fine contemporary.
