I LOVED this book. I had been reading some "heady" novels and needed something fun.  This novel totally hit the mark. Here are a few reasons I liked this book....it was hysterical, the main character is a widow (not grieving at all), her husband died in Europe, in anther woman's bed!  She works in an adult "toy " store for her Mother-in-law Goldie, in a tiny Montana town.  She has two boys, who are perfectly NORMAL!!  They are not disrespectful, they love to swim and play outside, and  act like most young active boys!!  Not usual behavior in most novels these days.  Then we meet the totally "hunky " fireman sort of next door.This book borders on "naughty", but doesn't stray too far over the border. Kind of spicy.  The Gnomes are innocent yard sale prizes bought by her sons for a dollar.  Then the story takes off. The cast of characters will warm your heart, and keep a smile on your face.  I hope Ms. Zane has more books planned, I would grab them right away.  There are many really funny quotes I could make from this book. The one that hit me very early in the book, and made me laugh out loud is, when one of her son's is speaking to Ty (hunky fireman).  He says " My Dad died in hamburger"....Ty looks questioningly at Jane...." He died in Hamburg, Germany..she states."If you need to read something that will make you laugh, with a little spice, this is the book for you.
