Review: A hysterical read
Rating: 5 out of 5

"Her Something Impetuous" has to be the most humorous romance novel I've read, despite its serious subject matter (the trials of post-divorce life).The novel opens with Karen Way, a middle-aged suburbanite, preparing to get a smiley face tattooed on her buttocks. Despite the humor of the situation, Karen falls for her tattoo artist, the rough-around-the-edges Will Corcorran.The relationship takes off passionately, but not unabated, for a series of strange events, such as police raids and drug planting, occur as soon as they get together.Someone seems determined to get Karen and Will incarcerated. To complicate matters further, Karen's ex-husband, the local district attorney, and his young, sexy girlfriend somehow seem to be involved with it all.Harris delicately balances the many aspects of the novel, giving the reader just the right dose of romance, humor, and mystery.Harris even manages to capture the reality of suburban life without slowing the plot down. For instance, Karen is tasked with baking the reputed "Hallelujah muffins," which are rumored to have supernatural value, for a neighborhood event, and hilarity ensues.Would I recommend "Her Something Impetuous" to anyone who likes romance and comedy? Abso-frigging-lutely! Five out of five stars from me!
