Wanting What You Get

By Kathy Love

In her delightful novel, "Getting What You Want, " Kathy Love introduced the Stepp sisters, three unique women with wildly different ideas about love and life. Now, meet Ellie, the romantic middle sister who's about to take a chance on having what she's always wanted. . . This Can't Be Happening Is he flirting with me? I must be imagining things. Why would Mason Sweet, the gorgeous mayor of Millbrook, Maine, the man I've secretly been in love with since seventh grade, flirt with me? He's the town golden boy, and I'm, well, the local librarian. The Stepp sister who stayed close to home. The one who bakes brownies. . .then eats them all. My thighs make that whick-whick-whick sound in pantyhose. He can't possibly be flirting with me. So why is he giving me that melt-you-where-you-stand look? Why is he pulling me close? And what is he whispering in my ear. . . Sorry, could you repeat that? Now I'm hearing things, because I swear Mason just asked me if I'd like to. . .well, he wasn't asking for a book recommendation, let's put it that way. Oh my, my, my. Okay, Ellie, stop blushing like a teenaged girl. I'm sure he didn't mean it. Maybe I should just alphabetize something. Be the good girl everyone expects. Eat another brownie. Forget this ever happened. So why is it I can't stop myself from saying, "Yes. . .."

I Loved This Read!!!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Love and as a result was able to see her quirky nature in her great characters. This only made the read more entertaining. Ellie Stepp is not perfect, at least not in her opinion. She's a little chubby, a little short, and a librarian. Could she be a sadder stereotype? She is living in her small Maine hometown and life is good, at least by Ellie standards. It could be better but...than...

Loved it!!

I read the first book in the trilogy and loved it so I went to get this one right away. i knew I would like it, but I ended up loving it. This book is about Ellie and Mason's story. We meet both characters in the first book and now it is their turn. I really really liked Ellie. She was cute. Mason was real. I liked how we really got into their heads. I liked how the author made the characters get into their own heads. It...

Enjoying What I Get

Only Mason doesn't realize how complicated true love can be. ...

As good as it gets in romantic fiction

Thankfully I was fortunate enough to find this gem when I looked for it at a local bookstore. I'd wanted to savour it over tea during the Christmas holidays but instead I was instantly sucked into Mason and Ellie's world and didn't emerge until a few hours later - story finished. Love has created a novel that transcends modern romance fiction and stands apart from the formulaic standards. The reader is treated to passion,...

amazing

I read the first one and I liked it. But I was really looking forward to this one, and I was not disappointed. I rate how much I like books on how long it takes me to read them, and this one took me 2 hours. Ellie was an amazing woman who wasn't exactly perfect but she was real, and since I am sick of thin, beautiful, waifs she was a nice departure of the mainstream. But the character I really loved was Mason. You don't...
