Oh Stella....such a klutz!  Between stumbling over her own feet, spilling her coffee at inopportune moments or sending the right online message to the wrong person, Stella finds herself in a pickle most days.If you're looking for a fun, easy and light read, Jan Romes is the author for you, and this book will hit the spot perfectly.  Stella in Stilettos has just the right amount of hilarity, wit, romance and drama to stimulate the avid romance reader.Stella is single and over thirty, with a handful of girlfriends who keep her busy with their plans for her.  The problem begins when she is essentially pressured to start dating a guy online...a guy who is curiously related to a co-worker.The internet waves sizzle when `Mr. Right' actually piques Stella's interest.  Almost that same day a new guy starts working at Stella's office.  Someone Stella has to train.....to sell women's lingerie.  But that's not the problem; Stella finds herself interested in the new guy as well.Oh what a tangled web we weave........Here are a few excerpts I particularly enjoyed from the novel:"It was also true that Jace triggered her relationship-neurosis by slipping out of her life to find himself.  Ha.  The rodent's compass of self-discovery led him to a strawberry-blonde with long legs and a trust fund.""When Maggie was ticked she was as subtle as a Clydesdale in a closet.""I know your beautiful noggin is going a hundred miles an hour.  Stop thinking and let this happen for us.""Heaven only comes in two varieties-regular and decaf,"..."The only things left in my closet are a few suits, two dresses I'm thinking of getting rid of, a half-dozen pair of jeans, a light bulb and probably a few moths.""Halleluliah," Misty screeched.  "A break through.  You've had some of those clothes since high school.""They still fit.""What does that tell you, Stella, when even the moths won't eat them?"If you're looking for a good office-type humorous romance with a touch of drama, you'll certainly enjoy Stella in Stilettos.  Well done Jan Romes!  I look forward to reading many more of your titles!
