Review: Great Series Start

The publisher and author state that though Deceiving Derek has appeared in print before, this edition has been revised prior to reissue. Ms. Procter-King is using this wonderful funny short story to introduce her series; "Love & Other Calamities."  Wow, That was a mouthful! So was this charming short story! A mouthful of enchanting humorous premise, quirky, engaging characters, and a story I didn't want to end. I have to admit I am hooked, and I am really looking forward to taking the journey to love with Ms. Procter-King's characters. The pacing of the book was great, the dialogue was both witty and humorous without being slapstick. Ms. Procter-King had a small window of opportunity in Deceiving Derek, to draw the characters fully enough to engage the readers emotions. She has definitely succeeded. I will be reading more.*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
