Crazy in Love

October 1, 2007
Perennial job-hopper Flynn Daly has been forced into joining the family real estate business. Shes been sent to her deceased great-aunt Esthers Hudson Valley inn to make nice with the locals until her father can arrange for a sale. Thats not as easy as it seems. Flynn is falling for the quaint inn and for its cute bartender, Jake. After a few late-night visits from the ghost of Aunt Esther and a murder that may be connected to Jake and the inn, Flynn thinks she may have taken on more than she can handle. Rich follows up her quirky, engaging The FortuneQuilt (2007) with another charmer about small-town life and big-time romance. This novel has some predictable moments, but itis a solid outing from an author who is making a name for herself in contemporary romance. Richs readers wont be disappointed.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
