SHHH….IT’S A SECRET!
For
over forty-five years, singles have been secretly flocking to The Happy
Pants Café. And what are they searching for? It’s not coffee. And it’s
not pants. It’s true love, and everyone who goes, finds it!
So
what, exactly, is the café’s big secret? Harper Branton, a columnist for
the San Francisco Tribune, who’d sooner believe in unicorns than in
true love, is about to find out. And it’s the perfect story to save her
train wreck of a career.
Too bad she’s got competition. He’s
sexy, he’s arrogant, and he thinks she’s crazy. ("What kind of person
doesn’t believe in love?") And this coming from a man!
When these
two rivals go head to head, it's more like a WWF smackdown. A shared
history binds them in wonderful, terrible ways quickly turning their
duel into more than just a fight for a story.
Will they tear each other apart for the win or end up as two more satisfied Happy Pants customers?
To
start with, I can't really go into the story in the review, as that will
completely destroy the story line and here at Cara’s Book Boudoir, we try not
to do spoilers.
This
book is a romantic comedy and I am not really a romantic comedy fan. Some of
the interactions between Harper and her love/hate interest were bordering on
cringe-worthy, which at times (for me) made the book a little hard to read. But
then again I would like to point out; I am not a big Rom-Com fan I do have to
say that 99% of the book is great!
The
characters are funny and half of them remind me of my crazy family and in-laws.
Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is so very good at describing the characters, not just physically
but personality, certain phrases will stay with me forever.
So
despite me being totally weird (according to my husband) and not liking
Rom-Com's, I am going to give this book 8 out of 10. It made me smile and that
is the most important thing about books, books are supposed to move your
emotions.
