Lynda Renham is a talented writer.  I would classify myself as extremely picky when it comes to novels, so I am amazed that I have loved every one of her books! If you check out her blog, you will also see that she supports a charity for children in Cambodia. She certainly appears to be one special person.I have had this little gem of a novel sitting on my Kindle shelf, trying to self-ration, but I could wait no longer.  I was ready for a good laugh and a clever storyline. Reading this book is like watching one of the great screwball comedies of the 1940's, when the actually had to rely on dialogue and not sex to sell the movie.  Her writing is fast-paced and charmingly clever.I always hate a "review" where the reviewer feels obligated to relate the entire story.  I mean why bother to read the book if you already know what happens?  So, I will just say that this crazy love story, complete with stuttering and gangsters, is great fun.  Oh yes, I laughed out loud!By the way...forget about giving the author any grief about the stuttering business--she suffered from the affliction herself.
