On the night of her thirty-third birthday, Francesca (Frannie) Colleti discovered a missing spark in her life. The always shy and careful Frannie has been living the same life for years, staying in her hometown of Bliss Harbor after graduation and opening her own dress shop. What's also missing in her life besides fun and adventure is a man, a man with whom she wants to build a loving family. In a moment of drunkenness, Frannie confided to her two best friends Toni and Monica that she still harbors a crush since high school on Nick Fletcher, a Hollywood screenwriter who recently returned to Bliss Harbor for inspiration. Unfortunately for him, trouble sought him when Frannie's friends put together Operation "Reel Him In" to get Frannie her man.This novella was a delightful and funny read. Frannie is so shy and endearing that I'm glad she finally broke out of her shell and went to seize her happiness. With Toni and Monica's help, adorable Frannie unleashes her true self onto Bliss Harbor, ending in a chaotic series of accidents that finally got the right man's attention. I won't spoil the ending but there is an intriguing twist in Frannie's happily-ever-after that readers will simply love.Blake Sheridan is definitely an author to watch out for. Her sweet and hilarious contemporary romances can put a smile (and a laugh) in anyone, and romance readers should do well to pick this up and read it right away. Judging by the quality of this novella, the upcoming Bliss Harbor novels are sure to be great reads as well.*Review for The Romance Reviews
