Flashback Friday: Public Displays of Affection by Susan Donovan
What it’s about Charlotte Tasker has always been a good girl, so she married the most decent, reliable man she could find even though their love life was a bit on the predictable side. Thirteen years later, she's a widowed mom who runs her company, prepares three vegetarian meals a day for her children, and volunteers for just about every good deed in town. But no one knows that Charlotte has a secret weakness for squirt cheese, erotic poetry-and the mystery man she lost her virginity to in a reckless roadside tryst, moments before she got engaged. They never exchanged names, and even now, Charlotte can't stop fantasizing about that spectacular stranger...
DEA agent Joe Bellacera isn't crazy about having to hide out in Minton, Ohio before testifying at the trial of a notorious drug lord. But he's handling it just fine...until he lays eyes on a fiery redhead and a hot little body he'd recognize anywhere. Joe's never had another woman like Charlotte since that day thirteen years ago. Now she's his neighbor-and strictly off-limits...
Amid the balmy, honeysuckle-scented breezes of a Midwestern summer, sense and sensibility are about to be subverted by an ice cream-loving dog, conspiring kids, and nosy neighbors. And when the Widow Tasker's fantasies meet the rock-hard reality of Agent Bellacera, let the fireworks begin...
Karla’s Review
5 Stars! Another great book by the amazing Susan Donovan!!
Every time I finish a book by this author, I think she can’t top this one, and then she does it again!! Susan Donovan's books have the hottest, most delicious heroes, and some of the funniest, quirkiest heroines. Joe and Charlotte are no exception! Loved how they first meet....YOWZA...I never expected that! They cross paths years later, and during the time apart have both suffered unbearable losses. The connection and undeniable chemistry between them is still there and they sizzle together. I felt it down to my toes!
I love this author's style of writing. Her books are so sensual, and she strings you along with anticipation, until the two main characters have the most explosive intimate connection…in other words, some REALLY HOT SEX!! There is always plenty of witty dialogue, an engaging plot, and wonderful secondary characters, in this case Charlotte' s children, who added to the intensity and humor in the story.
Just a fun read, with a nail-biting ending and heartwarming happily-ever-after! I know I can pick this book up anytime, the story never gets old, and it always leaves me grinning like a fool! A top-pick comfort read!
