Blue Clouds
Downsized out of her job as a hospital administrator and fleeing from an abusive boyfriend, Pippa leaves Kentucky for California and ends up caring for a crippled six-year-old and balancing the demands of his horror novelist father, as well. An impetuous, sprightly, take-charge heroine and an intimidating, deeply tormented hero are beautifully matched in this beauty-and-the-beast romance that snares the reader right from the start and, despite a not unexpected resolution to the mystery subplot, should keep readers engaged to the end. Rice (Garden of Dreams, Fawcett, 1997) is a popular author who lives in Matthews, NC.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
