I always get excited when I learn that a new Bettye Griffin book has been released, because I know I'm in for a treat.  Isn't She Lovely does not disappoint.  Bettye eloquently tells the story of state attorney general Keith Norwood, who lost his wife and mother-in-law in a fatal accident.  Keith, his teenage son, and his father-in-law are still grieving the loss when they encounter scraping-to-get-by single mother, Tracy Pegram and her children, Amber and Gabriel, in yet another unfortunate accident.  While this accident does not result in the loss of life, it could cause problems for Keith who is running for governor, since his son, Josh, is its cause.  Keith has the unenviable task of deciding whether he should keep the incident quiet or involve the police and risk losing the race for governor.  As Keith ponders this decision he can't help but notice how lovely Tracy is.  Could his grieving period soon be ending?Bettye handcrafted the main and supporting cast of characters out of very real personalities, and there are many facets to this tale:  steamy romance, parental choices, dating just for dating's sake, politics, and of course, the requisite interfering exes.  This is one book that I just couldn't put down until I finished.  I'm sure you'll feel the same way.
