A Fool for Love
by Susan Lute

BLURB:
When
a gypsy caravan-style truck breaks down at Martha's curbside, the last thing
Zach Barret needs is an impulsive pixie rocking his boat. The more determined
he is to stay away from the free-spirited, green-eyed nomad, the more he finds
one kiss is not enough. Uncovering Alice York's secrets in paintings of empty
swings and merry-go-rounds puts a new priority in the top spot on his short
list. But can he convince this stunning woman to park her truck permanently in
his drive?

My Review:
It 's a short novel, but the plot and the characters are well developed.
It 's a story light but very sweet, heartwarming. Zach is a single father and lives with his grandfather. Alice is a girl who doesn't like the stability, traveling with her camper and constantly changing city. For a fault to her camper is forced to stop at Zach's home. He needs someone to help him with his work, Alice decides to work for him for a few days, the time to repair her camper. The attraction between them is very strong but will Zach able to keep her?
I love all the characters, especially the little Lucy: she is so nice, a enterprising girl, outspoken. Alice is a wounded woman, alone, feels good and at ease only in her camper. She never had a family and staying in this small and very welcoming is a new and strange sensation. Zach looks like a man rude and grumpy but soon discovers the true nature of man sweet and accommodating.
It 's a really fluent reading, engaging, well-written, it reads in a few hours.
I recommend it to anyone who wants a reading short but intense

EXCERPT:
Zach turned his attention to Alice
“Longview ,
Washington
“What kind of job, if you don't mind me asking?”
“I don't mind.” She nestled her chin in the palm of her
hand, the sparkle in her eyes snapping with wry humor. “I work on classic
cars.”
Remembering his first sight of her, he asked, “You're a
mechanic?”
“Does that surprise you?”
The subtle scent of vanilla coming from her side of the
table sent rational thought on a long hike in the opposite direction from
practical reason. It was a good thing he was a grown man who had the power to
stand up to steamy distractions.
“No.” The stranger his granddad and Lucy had invited to stay
in their basement, who said she slept in her truck when it broke down, could be
anything from a burglar to a most wanted criminal.
Stunning green eyes studied him. The punch to his gut wasn't
that unpleasant.
Everything about the woman, the cut of her short, wispy,
strawberry-blonde hair, the flowery dress that snuggled close to curves he
couldn't help noticing, the energetic wave of slender hands when she talked
with Lucy, all suggested an impulsive pixie who liked rocking the boat. He
didn't like his boat rocked.
