Hockey romance is a new genre for me, but thanks to books like "A Most Unlikely Countess", I am in love.  V.L.Locey begins with a most unlikely heroine, gives her some significant family handicaps, and then - pours in a few pounds of humor.  Between garden gnomes and Gandalf the ferret, a most unusual mother, and a wicked ex-girlfriend, the lovers work their way from getting to know each other to finally GETTING TO KNOW each other.  In addition to touching (very lightly) on the perils of caring for a parent with a mental illness, this book explores friendships between women and the occasional people who exist and care for their friends enough to take risks, loudly, as does "secondary heroine" Viviana.  I love these ladies, and am looking forward to getting to know them better!This book is slightly sexual....I would not hand it to my mom to read.  But I would have no problem leaving it at her house, where she would no doubt find it and read it.  And be scandalized.  It would be interesting to find out just which parts of the book she would discuss.
