Josie Day Is Coming Home (Zebra Contemporary Romance) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)JOSIE DAY IS COMING HOME is every woman's whimsical dream: to sport 'Clairol Sedona Sunset' hair; to have a Harley driving, rough-and-ready guy to hang with; to wear a hot pink mini on her Vegas showgirl body; and to be able to dance like JLo. Could life get any better? Well perhaps, if that Harley bad boy was as rich as 'The Donald'? He is! Ummm, life is sweet!
Josie Day is a Vegas Barbie doll - dazzling. Luke Donovan is every little girl's Ken doll - drop-dead gorgeous. He's a bad boy; she's a naughty girl, and together they are fun.
Josie Day is indeed a Vegas showgirl. One fateful night Josie saves her boss' life. Totally grateful, that boss rewards her with an estate. An estate located in Josie's old hometown - the small-minded hometown Josie ran away from. Feeling victorious, Josie returns home and is promptly given the social cold shoulder. Her only friend is the estate's 'handyman' - Luke Donovan. A 'handyman' who happens to be her benefactor's nephew and the estate's bona fide owner.
Luke Donovan is also a runaway. He is running from the wealth and social commitments of his prominent family. Is Luke pleased with Josie's sudden appearance? NO! But boy does Josie enthrall this so-called 'handyman'! His new philosophy: what is a little deception among friends?
The author, Lisa Plumley, does a fun job with this merry light tale. Josie Day is a delight. Plumley writes her lead character using determination, beauty, and notorious appeal. Luke Donovan is simply sexy, dangerous and fun. They are a wonderful couple.
Surprisingly, although the story is light and merry, Plumley manages to strike with a great deal of sensitivity. At times my heart ached for Josie.
The story's weak points: Our hot couple should have 'gotten it on' earlier in the story - this reader grew frustrated with the wait. And it would have been more fun to see the jealous, mean spirited town-people get their just dues! Still, JOSIE DAY IS COMING HOME is light and breezy and entertaining.
