Since she received her “happily-ever-after” rocking chair as a little girl,
Callie Grey has imagined its place in her future family’s home. Now nearly 30,
she lives with her curmudgeonly grandfather, while her dream man—her boss,
Mark—is engaged to their biggest client’s daughter. Her hometown in Vermont is
tiny, making it difficult to find new prospects for a husband or a job. Enter
the attractive new veterinarian, Ian. His aloof demeanor calls for Callie’s
public-relations skills and her love. Though Callie’s oversharing and Ian’s
brusqueness cause friction, their mutual desire wins out. Romance abounds for
Callie and Ian, Callie’s estranged parents, and even Callie’s überfeminist
sister, while smarmy Mark gets his comeuppance. The latest from the author of
Too Good to Be True (2009) boasts small-time charm, sentimental moments, and
satisfying happy endings. Readers will scoop up this easy-to-read confection.

One Happily-Ever-After Rocking Chair…
and no sign of any forthcoming babies to rock in ol' Georgebury, Vermont. For
Callie Grey, turning thirty means coming to grips with the fact that her boss
(and five-week fling) is way overdue in his marriage proposal. And way off
track because Mark has suddenly announced his engagement to the company's new
Miss Perfect. If that isn't bad enough, her mom decides to throw her a three-
oh birthday bash in the family funeral home.
Bad goes to worse when she stirs up a crazy relationship with the town's not
so warm and fuzzy veterinarian, Ian McFarland, in order to flag Mark's
attention. So Ian is more comfortable with animals…. So he's formal, orderly
and just a bit tense. The ever-friendly, fun-loving and spontaneous Callie
decides it's time for Ian to get a personality makeover. But dang, if he
doesn't shock the heck out of her, she might actually fall for Vermont's
unlikeliest eligible bachelor….
