Inappropriate Men (Red Dress Ink (Numbered Paperback))
Sidney Stein's life is overflowing with inappropriate men. The first, somewhat surprisingly, is Mark, her husband of nine years. Sidney loves Mark, but their relationship has stagnated and they are little more than friends who happen to be married. Which is how Sidney finds herself drawn to Geoffrey Fahl, one of the partners at her father's law firm, who is also in a loveless marriage. The two begin a torrid affair that allows Sidney to face some hard truths and end her marriage. Not so with Geoff, who wants to make things work with his wife, and have Sidney on the side. On the advice of her brother, Sidney places a personal ad and starts to date, but she can't quite let go of Geoff. Sidney's wisecracking, funny observations should appeal to fans looking for a smart-about-life--if not love--heroine. Set in Chicago, Ballis's debut is a witty tale of a thirtysomething who unexpectedly has to start the search for love all over again.Kristine HuntleyCopyright © American Library Association.
