I love Molly Harper's writing. I always go to any of her books when I need to read something light-hearted and fun.Bonnie works at the Kentucky Tourism Commission (with one Saide Hutchins from My Bluegrass Baby. Bonnie has been sent to Mud Creek to preserve artifacts in the old McBride's Music Hall. While there Bonnie uncovers memorabilia that could make the building a historical landmark. Bonnie clashes with Mayor Will McBride who wants to tear down the building to bring in a big factory to provide much needed jobs for the slowly failing economy in Mud Creek. Caught between her attraction for Will, understanding the need for jobs, it's up in the air if any common ground can be achieved.Bonnie and Will's attraction for each other was apparent right away as Bonnie made a stellar first impression when her car caught fire on the side of the road. Molly Harper wrote the chemistry between these two wonderfully, you could feel it jumping off the page whenever they were together. The only problem with that was that they weren't really "together" that often. The book is shorter than a regular novel and a lot of things seemed rushed. I would have liked their interactions to have been fleshed out a little more.I don't feel like it was as developed as My Bluegrass Baby. It is a quick read with a cute story that doesn't take itself too seriously. I look forward to reafing more in the series.
