Keeley Murdoch throws a hissy fit when she finds her fiance screwing her Maid of Honor at the rehearsal dinner. When she storms out of the rehearsal hall, she hitches a ride with Will Mahoney, a new guy in town who has just bought an Antebellum mansion that needs fixed up. He hires Interior Decorator Keeley to do the restoration with the stipulation that is has to be done within six months. Will wants to impress a woman he has never met by restoring the mansion to its former glory in hopes she will fall in love with it...and him. Keeley thinks that is just stupid, but she would kill for the chance to get her hands on that mansion.
This story is billed as a romantic comedy/mystery. I've read this author before, but I didn't find this one particularly funny. It's certainly not a romance. There is a mystery concerning Keeley's mother who ran away with another man twenty-five years ago. Keeley wants to know where she is and why she abandoned her daughter. This mystery does not take up a lot of time in this book. Most of the pages are spent telling us about the furniture that is being placed in the mansion, and shopping for items for the mansion. The shopping and decorating overwhelm the rest of the story. My rating: 2 Stars.
