In order to keep custody of her teenage sister, Tessa Scuderi told a small (okay, big) lie to the people of Lucy's Lake, Vermont, about what really happened ten years ago when Dermot Finnegan took off with her virginity, her car, and the town bell. It had been working, too, until she found her old car parked in front of her house, keys in the ignition, and a telltale red hair stuck to the headrest.

This one is off to a good start. Can't wait to find out what happened ten years ago between Tess and Finn, also what happened to the parents.

A mystery within a romance novel is just my cup of tea!

Not sure someone who sounds like a perpetual convict makes a compelling love interest but I'm intrigued enough to keep reading.

She writes off-the-wall romances that are fun and out there. I recommend her.

I thought Heros were supposed to be likeable. This Hero (and I use that term loosely) is a criminal....not too likeable in my book. I'd run the other way!

I really wasn't longing to keep reading the e-mails when they came. I found this was a dull book...but eh -- that happens to me. I need to read the whole book from beginning to end. Maybe this book wasn't for me, but it was kinda all over the place and I felt very out of place. When I read I want to be able to be as if I was in the story just watching people. --Bethy
